 Eddie Kaspbrak is a central character in Stephen King's horror novel It and its adaptations, a member of the Losers' Club, known for his childhood asthma and hypochondria stemming from his overprotective, controlling mother, Sonia, but who grows to find courage, using his inhaler (revealed to be a placebo) as a weapon against the evil clown Pennywise before ultimately dying fighting It in the sewers.
