"Kill"? Me? Oh, you are priceless, brat. I am eternal, child. I am the eater of worlds, and of children. And you are next.
~ Pennywise to the Losers Club, before their first confrontation

Silly boy. You still think you can see... me. You'll never see me. You'll see only what your little mind can allow. Go! Now...for if you stay, you'll lose your little mind in my Deadlights, like all the others... Like all the others
~ Pennywise to the Losers Club before their final confrontation

Excuse me, sir. Do you have Prince Albert in a can? You do? Well, you better let the poor guy out.
~ Pennywise while messing with Richie, before his amazing laugh.

Summary

Pennywise the Dancing Clown, also known as IT, is a mysterious, supernatural entity that has been around since the early to mid 1700s. Once every 30 years, it wakes up to feast upon the residence of Derry (Primarily children) and cause horrific tragedies. It usually shapeshifts into people's worst fears in order to inspire as much fear as possible before devouring any unfortunate soul that comes across IT.

Pennywise serves as the main villain of the IT Miniseries, played by Tim Curry.

Tore George's arm off, with such ease it is compared to pulling the wing off a fly. Casually tore open a large hole in a school shower floor in order to reach Eddie. Pennywise's spider form could be this level from size alone, but it was also able to easily kill Eddie by seemingly squeezing him. Has presumably decapitated people before, given the amount of severed heads that lead to his lair. This would require him to either tear their heads off, or slash them off. Was easily able to restrain Eddie when he was an adult, while possessing the body of an old man. Violently broke open a large pipe). Some of Pennywise's powers bypass conventional durability.

Speed: Athletic Human physically (Pennywise, despite his looks, is actually quite athletic, and is capable of pulling acrobatic tricks like flips and cartwheels with ease).

Stamina: Superhuman (In between its periods of dormancy, Pennywise is active for an entire year, which he spends the entirety of stalking his victims, murdering, eating, and scheming restlessly.

Intelligence: Gifted (This version of Pennywise has been around for over 200 years, and has spent that time terrorizing Derry in-between its periods of hibernation. Thanks to this experience, Pennywise is skilled in trickery, being able to play with the minds of humans, all with the goal of inspiring fear within his victims. He actively uses his arsenal of abilities to accomplish this, particularly with his shapeshifting, which he uses to transform into the greatest fears of others. Pennywise is also quite the manipulative schemer, using his charisma to lure in children like George, and convinced Henry to hunt down and attempt to kill the Losers Club. Meticulously controls the residence of Derry, Maine, making so it can easily get away with its heinous actions with little to no intervention from authorities).
