> **Michael's** last words to **Jack**, *Ouroboros*

**Michael** was an archangel that existed in the Apocalypse World. He is described as the "Supreme Being" and "the Genghis Khan" of that universe, having conquered it and ruled the whole universe with an iron fist. He is an alternate reality version of Michael. He was the most powerful celestial being to ever appear, and among the most powerful beings in all of existence.

Michael encountered Lucifer from the main universe and after defeating him, he captured and made plans to invade his world but Lucifer escaped back to his world and made a few aware of this threat. Michael later encountered Lucifer's son Jack and attempted to use him to open a rift to the main world but Jack escaped with Mary Winchester. Michael sent his forces to capture him but they failed and this caused Jack to form a resistance against the Archangel.

In the months that followed, the two would fight a war before Sam and Dean Winchester along with others arrive to evacuate the resistance from Apocalypse World. At the site of the rift, Michael arrived and met his enemies face to face and after a brief battle with Lucifer, he fought and killed Gabriel. However, his attempts to reach the other world failed as Gabriel held Michael off long enough for the rift to close before he could reach it. Michael then formed a brief alliance with Lucifer to get to the other world.

Following Lucifer becoming super-charged by stealing his son's Grace, Michael formed an alliance with Dean Winchester, his true vessel and the Michael Sword to defeat Lucifer once and for all, albeit with Dean in control. After granting Dean the power to kill Lucifer, Dean and Lucifer engaged in battle, which resulted in Dean finally killing Lucifer. With Lucifer now dead, Michael took full control of his true vessel and was let loose upon the Main Universe.

Michael wandered Earth, asking people what they desire but found none of interest. He soon turned his attention to monsters, kidnapping several different kinds to find ways to cure their weaknesses. After doing so, Michael led a massive army of enhanced monsters consisting of vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, djinn’s, ruguru’s, ghouls, sirens, and wraiths to rid the world of humanity. He also abandoned Dean's body for yet unknown reasons.

Very soon, Michael prepared to unleash his monster army before he was confronted by Team Free Will who were armed with Kaia's spear. Michael then retook control of Dean, after it is revealed that he wanted to break his spirit because of his prior resistance. After destroying the spear, he revealed himself and let his monster army loose on the city.

However, Michael was captured by his enemies and brought to the bunker where Michael's revelations made it clear that he believes all universes are God's failed drafts and that his true intentions are to obliterate every single universe in existence. The group entered Dean's mind to get him to eject the Archangel. A fight broke out and Dean ended up trapping Michael within his subconscious, while causing his monster army to scatter. Michael is left trying to regain control as Dean struggles to prevent his escape.

Despite Dean's best efforts, Michael escapes his mind, and takes possession of Rowena MacLeod, where he smites multiple hunters and intends to kill Team Free Will. However, tapping into the power of his soul, Jack exorcises Michael from Rowena and burns away his essence, killing the archangel at the cost of his own soul. Using Michael's grace, Jack is able to recover his lost Nephilim powers.

## Personality

> Saw your world. That paradise you left behind? Believe I'll take up residence, lend my guiding hand... While I was in your head, I saw what you're afraid of– being locked up again, like you were in the Cage. So after I'm done, you'll be left here, alone, in agony, forever.

Castiel described him as "much, much worse" than Michael of the Main Universe in *Funeralia*. He has great reasoning skills which may be responsible for his highly cynical and psychopathic existential nihilism. During his fight with Lucifer in the original world, Michael waited desperately for God's arrival to deliver salvation as well as answers. But after spending months in the Main Universe, he finally deduced that God probably created many realities which are all 'drafts' and that his world and this world are just 'failed drafts' and God kept on creating new realities with better improvements than his previous realities. This caused Michael to develop an extreme destructive form of existential nihilism and gained the determination to destroy all realities in existence.

Michael appears to share his counterpart's dislike for Lucifer and took pleasure in murdering his own brother. He was eager to grant the same horrible fate to the Lucifer who had traveled from the main reality and considered the chance to do so a "good thing". However, though his counterpart admitted his love for his younger brother, this version of Michael seemed to have no such feelings. This lack of sentiment seemingly extends to Michael's other siblings to a lesser extent. When he saw Gabriel, he appeared both surprised and pleased upon recognizing his brother's alternate reality counterpart, but had no qualms about fighting and killing him, and furthermore grinned sadistically as he watched Gabriel's essence burn out. He did take a slight amount of care when shrugging off and laying down Gabriel's vessel upon killing him.

He is unlike the main reality Michael who only wanted to kill Lucifer, as God told him to, and would take no pleasure in it as he told Dean in *The Song Remains the Same*. Ramiel even stated that Lucifer was the only angel Michael ever wanted to kill. A good example is when this Michael was not concerned by Lucifer killing some of loyal angels, only expressing curiosity in Lucifer in their first meeting. Another example is during their first encounter and after telling the main reality Lucifer that he had killed his Lucifer he stated “Can’t get enough of a good thing”, stating that he took pleasure in killing his brother.

He is devoid of his main universe counterpart's sense of compassion, and is very ruthless as he didn't hesitate to engage and torture Lucifer and Mary Winchester, an innocent human (though it is later revealed that he doesn't exactly view humans as innocent). He was not above harming his own subordinate, after he failed in his efforts to get Jack to open a rift. Michael even attacked the young Nephilim for his defiance against him. He appears to know of his own cruelty as he stated Team Free Will thought he was bad after he was defeated by Jack and Lucifer stole the latter's powers.

He is quite power hungry as after discovering that the pair came from another world and seeing it from reading Lucifer's mind he became very eager to invade the prime world. When it came to his own world he was incredibly wrathful, fierce, and oppressive to the point that, combined with his unlimited power, it caused all angels and all of his own subordinates to be terrified of him. As mentioned in *Bring 'em Back Alive*, Michael is also willing to take humans he believes will be useful and enslave them to do his bidding, further showing his extreme ruthlessness. Even Lucifer, the Devil himself and despite his own ferocity and extreme cruelty, was shown to be disgusted by Michael's malevolence to the point that he outright called him "pure evil." He also told Castiel that his reason for wanting to destroy the main universe was simply because he could.

 File:Gods and Monsters 09.jpg
He also appears to be sadistic, as he was shown taking pleasure in taunting and torturing Lucifer and chose to torture him in a cage simply due to Lucifer's fear of being imprisoned. When ordering Zachariah to kill Mary in front of Jack, he even told him to "make her feel it". He also promised Kevin Tran entry to Heaven if he were to act as a living bomb, to kill Jack's friends to break the latter's spirits of being unable to protect everyone even if he won. After using the vampire, Lydia Crawford as bait to lure Sam, Bobby and Mary to him, Michael couldn't resist in taunting her by saying that "once the trap has been sprung you don't need the bait anymore," before murdering her and then proudly smiling at her corpse. Michael also told Dean that he owned him, after the latter attempted to get him to leave his body and locked him back in his subconscious. His cruel amusement is usually directed at those who have angered him, who he hates or holds resentment for, a good example being Lucifer, or those who he considers inferior to him. Michael even took pleasure in delivering a savage beating to Castiel and revealing that he wanted to break Dean's spirit before he retook control in him and taunted his family before he unleashed his monster army on the world.

Michael can be condescending to people that he sees beneath him, as seen when he looked down on Lucifer's strength and during his talk with Jamil Hamed where he labeled himself better than Gabriel. When speaking to Anael, he called her desire of love and a place to belong as pathetic. He also declared that angels and demons of the main Earth wouldn't be a factor in stopping his plan when talking to werewolves. When speaking to a reaper, he told her of how he enslaved her kind in his world and said so with a smile, which left her disturbed. Michael also extended this to Jack by mocking his weakened state and calling him a mere boy. However, this proved to be his undoing as Jack would use his powers to kill Michael and steal his grace to replenish his own.

Lucifer compares this Michael to his own version of his brother, as he stated that when he puts his mind to something he'll do it no matter what the cost or who has to die to make it happen. This was seen when Lucifer told Castiel that nothing will stop Michael's invasion which goes along with his order to Kevin Tran to re-open a rift, after it closed when Lucifer went through it and later, when Jack who he attempted to use to open a rift managed to escape, Michael immediately sent his forces to re-capture him, proving that he will not stop trying and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. According to Mary Winchester, Michael was going to kill her in front of Jack if he didn't comply with his demands, further showing his desire to get what he wants. Michael was even willing to make a deal with Lucifer get to the other world, despite his previous attempts to kill him. To obtain Kaia's spear and break Dean's spirit, he abandoned Dean's body but retook control after the latter had the weapon, which he destroyed to eliminate any hindrances in his army being unleashed.

 File:Nihilism 01.jpg
He is also incredibly confident to the point of being arrogant. When faced with opponents such as Lucifer and Castiel, he did not even attempt to prevent them from attempting to attack him. When he first met the main version of Lucifer, he showed no signs of fear when he made it clear he wanted to fight him, only showing signs of eagerness to fight Lucifer again after killing his universes Lucifer. When faced with an angry Castiel, he even went so far as to attempt to provoke Castiel into attacking him, knowing that Castiel poses no real threat to him. A hunter in Apocalypse World also believed that there was absolutely nothing he was scared of. Mary Winchester stated that Michael doesn’t fear anything or anyone. While his infinite power and his ability to beat two versions of Lucifer as well as the main reality Gabriel proved his point, this confidence of his proved to be something of a weakness as he seemingly did not anticipate that Lucifer would betray their deal after making it to the Main Universe, as he was shown to be quite angry and appeared somewhat shocked after Lucifer betrayed their deal and allowed Jack to attack, and nearly kill him. He also did not do anything to prevent Sam from praying to Jack for help when Michael attacked Sam, Dean and Castiel at the Men of Letters Bunker, either because he did not notice, or was simply was not worried, despite Jack's immense power. This caused him to be violently almost killed by Jack, only stopping him, by exposing his deal with Lucifer. Michael was also confident that he and his monster army would win the war he was waging and stating he could kill Alternate Kaia despite her owning a weapon capable of harming him but while he did prove able to easily overpower and outfight her rather effort, his arrogance caused him to fail to kill Kaia as he did not knock out Kaia before going after her spear, seemingly not anticipating that she would be able to recover quick enough to catch him off-guard and this allowed Kaia to inflict a wound on him and escape along with the spear. The shock that the fact she recovered quickly to catch him off guard also prevented him from reacting quick enough to prevent her from regaining the spear and harming him with it before escaping. During the fight in Dean's mind, he boasted that leaving the hunter could damage him beyond repair, which unintentionally gave Dean the idea to trap him in his mind that also stopped his monsters. However, due to his tremendous tactical strategy, highly efficient leadership abilities and extreme ruthlessness combined with his immeasurable power makes him so dangerous that even the new incarnation of Death Billie, possessing the full power of Death showed to be extremely fearful of him and feared him coming after her if she helped the Winchesters against him, and the immensely powerful witch Rowena, who is the most powerful and dangerous witch in all of creation was terrified of him and stated that she would not be able to stop him. She also became petrified when he threatened to disintegrate her into “nothingness”. This weakness of overconfidence in Michael's case, is a rather insignificant one as he has all but survived the setbacks caused by his arrogance. When Jack nearly killed him for attacking the bunker, Michael came up with a plan to stop him by distracting him by exposing his deal with Lucifer, which also, albeit inadvertently led to him gaining Dean as a vessel as exposing his deal with Lucifer eventually caused Lucifer to steal Jack's grace, which led Dean to say yes to him. When he made the arrogant mistake of not killing Kaia and failed to get the spear from Kaia he left Dean's body partially as a plan to retain the spear and when Dean retained the spear, Michael retook control of Dean and destroyed the spear.

He does not seem to have any personal loyalties, as he seemingly had no qualms in abandoning his faithful army of angels to invade Earth with Lucifer, despite leading them for centuries. This was seen when he showed no emotion when seeing Lucifer destroy them in their first meeting. He also implied that he'd kill Zachariah if he failed to procure Jack. However, while attempting to find a way to the main world, he initially wanted to take his army with him but ultimately decided to go alone when he actually managed to open a rift to get there. During his talk with Castiel, he spoke highly of the latter's counterpart, showing he somewhat cared for his younger siblings. In addition, he was genuinely disappointed when Anael failed to live up to his expectations of what an Angel should be, saying that at first he wanted to help but seeing her made him convinced that the Angels are not worthy of saving, similar to Lucifer's statement in *Bring 'em Back Alive*.

He is also very manipulative, as he attempted to convince Jack that his loyalty to Team Free Will would eventually fade, in an effort to get Jack to join his side, and later when he retook possession of Dean, Michael attempted to convince Sam, Cass, and Jack that Dean doesn't really care about them and deep down actually thought of them as his responsibilities, as part of his plan to prevent them from saving Dean from possession, and even attempted to convince Dean himself of this, in an effort to deceive him into accepting the possession.

> Now this world is mine. I can save it purge it of sin. (...) I'm not perfect yes I've made mistakes but second times the charm. And you Dean Winchester will be the first life I take in this world, first soul I save. Some would consider that an honor.
>
> Michael to Dean Winchester in *Let the Good Times Roll*

Ironically, despite his resentment of Lucifer, Michael has shown an even greater hatred of humanity, as shown by how instead of bringing paradise on Earth, he instead hunted down humans after killing Lucifer. After arriving on the main universe, Michael immediately showed a desire to cleanse Earth of humanity, but to do a better job than he had done in his own world. Michael was not above admitting that he'd made mistakes with his actions in his own world, but only intended to improve upon his methods rather than stop. This version of Michael also stated he enjoyed killing humans, expressing to Dean that he found it beautiful when the human soul leaves the body and wanted Dean to be his first victim. It is shown that his hateful view on humanity is due to their capacity for being corrupt and cruel as he has referred to Humans as *Venal* when talking to a Werewolf pack leader and said that from his perspective humans are the *real monsters* of the world. He also seemed to like the thought of himself and the Monsters waging war on and enslaving them, further showing his disapproval for humankind. However, Michael's disdain for man does not appear to be on a fundamental level as he was willing to let the Alternate Kaia live and join his side if she would give him her spear.

Somewhat similar to beings such as Ramiel, Michael appears to prefer using his fighting skills when going up against his opponents more than using his own innate powers. In his first fight with Lucifer, Michael fought and beat him without using any of his powers and simply using hand to hand combat skills. This was also seen again when he fought Gabriel and even when he went up against the Alternate Kaia for her spear, despite her using the spear to fight and possibly killing him if she'd hit him in the right place with the weapon. However, he does use sometimes use his powers when fighting his enemies such as when he used an energy blast when fighting Lucifer a second time.

Despite usually being very confident in his abilities, following his defeat by Jack, and Lucifer becoming super-charged, Michael showed a more defeated side, accepting that Lucifer could not be defeated. He also recognized his own limits and freely admitted them, stating that he could not defeat Lucifer in his current state though he enjoyed the thought of being able to kill Lucifer a second time. Even in his true vessel, he was not above admitting that he is not as powerful as God, though he still considered himself the closest thing to being him. It is currently unknown how his relationship with his father is, but given the main reality Michael's view on his father, it can be assumed that Michael may have respected God's authority and power enough to acknowledge that even he is not God's equal. When talking to Castiel, he told Castiel that when he fought Lucifer, he believed his father would return once the Apocalypse was over but that didn't happened. Michael expressed resentment at his father's leaving, unlike the original who held faith in his father.

Despite his evil nature, Michael has shown himself to be surprisingly somewhat honorable, making a deal with Dean Winchester to gain Dean as a vessel and actually honoring it rather than going back on his word once he had Dean's consent, as he only gave Dean the power to fight Lucifer rather than taking control and fighting himself. Only after Lucifer's death did Michael go back on his word and take full control of Dean. His anger when Lucifer broke their deal rather than actually keeping it implied that he would have let Lucifer and Jack go wherever they want and not attempt to do anything to them had he kept their deal. After abandoning Dean's body, he didn't leave him an unresponsive husk (like Raphael did to his vessel) instead leaving him in his regular condition. Also, rather than take revenge on Jack for his attempt to kill him, he instead had him captured and offered him the chance to join him since they were both powerful beings. Michael even kept Dean comfy in a dream that the hunter had about owning a bar with Pamela Barnes, though at least part of this was revealed to be due to needing Dean to be content in order to keep him under control, as Dean, revealed by Sam, thrives on trauma.

When things do not go his way, Michael is capable of expressing extreme rage that proves uncontrollable. This was seen where after Dean and his family overpowered and trapped him, he would later bash on a door and throw objects around to escape Dean's subconscious and retake possession. After escaping Dean's mind, he no longer wanted to possess Dean but instead get revenge on him for humiliating him by taking Rowena as alternative vessel and torturing Dean and his friends. However, as he knew Dean's strength of mind and plan to use the Ma'lak Box to trap him, this may have also been an act of self-preservation to prevent Dean from potentially retaking control and using the Box to trap Michael for eternity, particularly as all versions of Dean's fate with Michael escaping had Michael using Dean's body to destroy the world.

Eventually, his pride led to his fall; after miscalculating Jack's power with the Enochian magic, Michael was exorcised and incinerated by Jack, who also absorbed his grace to restore his own power.

## Physical Appearance

 File:Michael Let the Good Times Roll.png
Michael's first vessel appears as an African American man in his late-30s to early-40s with short black hair, black beard, and dark eyes. He wears a long dark coat over a jacket and trousers.

 File:Michael True Form.png
After gaining Dean Winchester as a vessel, Michael changed Dean's attire to that of a 1920's era suit.

Once he abandoned Dean, he took an unnamed African American woman in her mid 30s to early 40s for a vessel. He sometimes wore a long coat over her outfit. Michael later took back control of Dean and changed his attire to that of a suit.

It seems Michael has taken Dean's form as his preferred form, even when he's not possessing Dean, he used his form, as Lucifer does with Nick.

After escaping Dean's mind, he possessed Rowena MacLeod as an alternative vessel.

When viewed through Anael's eyes, Michael appears as a bright blue-white aura surrounding Dean's body. In this form, his wings are visible as more than a shadow, appearing completely corporeal.

It's indicated Michael's true form is similar but not identical to his Main Universe counterpart's, as Lucifer only recognized him on their first meeting after receiving a hint, and subsequently quipped Michael "seem[ed] like a cheap knock-off" to his counterpart.

## Trivia

* He is the second "alternate" archangel on the series with Lucifer from the Season 5 episode *The End* being the first one.
* Alternate Michael is the main antagonist of season 13 and season 14.
* He is one of the few main antagonists who actually wins at the end of a season. The others are Castiel after he is empowered by Purgatory's souls and obliterated Raphael in the end of Season 6 and Lilith when she killed Dean in the end of Season 3.
* He is the only archangel and character to beat two different versions of Lucifer; one he killed from his reality, and the one from the main reality he physically beat in a fight. He later played a role in the death of the Main Universe's Lucifer though he did not kill him personally.
* This Michael in this universe is the only version of the archangel to reveal his wings in the series, as the Michael in the main universe never showed them. His wings are much larger than that of an ordinary angel's wings.
	+ However, the size at which his wings were portrayed is inconsistent: his wings were at their largest while possessing his original vessel, having apparently shrunken down slightly upon possessing Dean, and being perceived as much smaller than average angel's wings through Anael's angelic eyes.
* He is the second archangel to take on an African American vessel with Raphael of the main reality being the first one.
* He's the only being that killed more than one archangel: he killed his universe's Lucifer, Gabriel from the main reality, and allowed Dean to use his power by possessing him to kill the main reality Lucifer.
	+ He is also the first character to ever kill an archangel from a universe other than his own.
* He seems to prefer classic/formal clothing, as he is seen wearing an old 1920's styled suit just moments after obtaining Dean as a vessel. After retaking Dean as his vessel, he immediately changed clothes.
* He has played a role in the deaths of two distinct versions of Lucifer, though he only provided the power necessary to kill one rather than killing him himself.
* He is the only angel to possess Dean Winchester.
* He seems to be a perfectionist, as he dismiss the humans, angels and demons because their desires are too complicated for them to be honest about them, and chose monsters because most of them just want to eat, what he sees as truly pure desire.
* His experiments on monsters are a bit similar to what Eve did in the second half of Season 6; they both tried to enhance monsters in an attempt to use them to conquer Earth.
* Michael is the only angel to ever defeat Sam and Dean while on even grounds. All other angels who came out on top did it mainly due to their far greater physical prowess. This is made even more impressive by how Sam and Dean were also aided by Castiel. Only Virgil has been seen to come close to achieving the feat, surpassing the brothers one-on-one and taking them both on at once for a time.
* He was the first Big Bad Jack killed.
* He is the only solo main antagonist of a season to not make it to the season finale.
* Michael is the second archangel to have been exorcised from their vessel.
	+ The first was when Lucifer was exorcised from Castiel in *We Happy Few*.
	+ In Michael's case, he was exorcised from Rowena MacLeod by Jack using the power of his soul.
* Though unconfirmed, Dean's plan to use the Ma'lak Box to trap Michael may have been what ultimately changed Michael's tactics when he did in fact escape Dean's mind. Previously, all versions of Dean's fate but using the Ma'lak Box had Michael use Dean's body to destroy the world. When Michael escaped, he instead took Rowena as a vessel and displayed knowledge of the Ma'lak Box plan, suggesting that the threat of Dean possibly retaking control and using the Box after all changed Michael's plan and thus Dean's fate.
* He is only Archangel to be in the same episode as two other Archangels.
* His death marks the third Archangel to be killed by a member of Team Free Will.
* Andrew Dabb suggests the Apocalypse World Michael's differing personality traits compared to his counterpart at the start of Season 13 are due to his experiences in the Apocalypse wars of his universe and his successful conquest.

> I'm telling you, this guy is not the same as my brother Michael that i knew. He not the same that you knew of. He's much, much more powerful and much, much worse than my real brother Michael of the main universe. He's stronger, deadlier, smarter, tougher, and much more powerful. He’s more powerful than you could ever imagine. I’m telling you, he is going to come to this universe and destroy it
>
> Lucifer to Castiel, *War of the Worlds*

> This other version of the archangel Michael is not the same as the real archangel Michael. He’s much, much worse, far more powerful, and infinitely more dangerous. I’ve done my homework on this Michael, and believe me he’s unlike anything and anyone you boys have ever faced before. He’s very, very clever, terrifyingly fierce and unimaginably ruthless. He’s relentless, determined, cunning, efficient, and fearless. He isn’t afraid of anything or anyone, not even God or Amara. He is an unstoppable force with infinite power and has an endless hunger for infinite domination. When he wants something, no matter what it is, he will stop at nothing to achieve it and will never ever stop until he gets what he wants, even if it takes him literally forever. He’s an unbelievable master strategist, highly skilled tactician and a brilliant, iron-fisted leader. He’s possibly the best master strategist and master manipulator in existence and he always wins. He ruled his entire universe with an iron fist for eons, unchallenged. He has killed trillions of beings. In his universe, he killed the alternate archangel Lucifer with his bear hands, effortlessly slaughtered all hellhounds, pagan gods, deities, demigods, witches, alphas, and almost all humans, monsters, and demons, he also effortlessly wiped out all of the leviathans and destroyed his universes Purgatory with a snap of his fingers, and single-handedly locked away Death, killed the other three Horseman, and enslaved and imprisoned all of the reapers. He even easily annihilated over three billion angels who sided with his Lucifer during the rebellion which was literally half of the angel race, then instantly cast the Alternate Lucifer out of Heaven and banished him to his universes Hell. All the billions of angels of his universe worships him as their God and blindly follows his every command. He is an immense threat to all of existence. He could utterly destroy all of existence if he set his mind to it. He’s even a threat to God himself. He has single-handedly destroyed trillions of worlds, realities, planets, galaxies, and universes all over the entirety of existence and all over the Multiverse. He’s destroyed half of the Multiverse. He’s close to God himself in power. You can’t beat this Michael, he will always find a way to be a thousand steps ahead of you. Saving only God and Amara, this archangel Michael is undeniably the most powerful and dangerous being in all of existence. Everyone who has ever crossed him he has killed and destroyed, he has killed every being who ever stood in his way. He is a being of infinite power, relentlessness, sheer focus, absolute discipline and endless hunger for destruction, domination and power. He is an all-powerful cosmic being, he invades universes, he takes what he wants, and then destroys the entire universe and everyone and everything in it. He is far more powerful than you could ever imagine, powerful in ways that is infinitely beyond comprehension and imagination. He’s virtually omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. In his universe, he instantly smote ten billion demons all at once with a snap of his fingers, which is virtually all the demons in his universe. He destroyed almost half of the entire multiverse. With his immeasurable power combined with his unspeakable ruthlessness, phenomenal tactical intellect and incredible strategical abilities makes him so dangerous that even God himself fears him. I won’t help you fight against him. I may be Death, and have the full-power of Death, but even Death can die, and he could quickly destroy me and I’m not putting my eternal life on the line for you. He will either destroy me or enslave me, either way, you boys are on your own. Trust me, it’s not a matter of if he invades and conquers this universe, it’s a matter of when, and he will succeed, because he always has. He always wins. He will win, and he will invade this universe and destroy everything and everyone like he has done to trillions of other universes. Fighting him is suicide, everyone who’s ever fought him or crossed him he has killed, and destroyed every threat he has ever encountered. So you might as well kill yourselves before he gets the both of you because he will torture you for eternity if you try to fight him. His strength, awareness and intelligence is unrivaled, You will lose even with Jack and your most powerful allies fighting alongside you. He never fails, and he has fought countless extremely powerful beings and has always won. This will be a walk in the park for him. You may have defeated the other Michael, Lucifer and stopped the Apocalypse and the end of the world the first time, and you may have took down some pretty big fish, but this is far, far different, the main archangel Michael pales comparison to this Michael. My advice is tuck your tail between your legs and run and hide while you still can. If you don’t then you will die.

> No one makes me do anything!. I take want I want, and do what I want, and whatever I want I get. I’m a destroyer of universes. I’ve been unstoppable for untold eons, and no one will ever stop me. I always win, I never fail. Ive destroyed everything and everyone I’ve ever faced. I’ve single-handedly destroyed trillions of universes in the multiverse and trillions of worlds all over creation. I will take over all of existence, save it, purge it from sin, and rule it all my way. The last thing I intend to do is kill my father God himself. Even God can die.

> **Alternate Michael** to Castiel and Sam, ’’The Spear’’

> Archangels are one of the oldest and most powerful beings in all of existence. But this other archangel Michael, his power level is incomprehensible, infinite and limitless, he is beyond all-powerful, unimaginably powerful. As an angel I can feel the power that a celestial being has, and his power is immeasurable, unimaginable, and incomprehensibly vast. He is next to God himself in power. He is almost as powerful as God. He is infinitely more powerful than all angels ever created combined. His power is even much greater than the real archangel Michael. There is no player on the board that is strong enough to defeat him, much less kill him. Angel blades, angel-killing bullets, holy fire, archangel blades, the Colt, every weapon known to creation is all useless against him. There isn’t anything or anyone that can kill him. Making him virtually invincible, unstoppable and unkillable If we can’t kill him and we can’t stop him, then how do we fight him?. We need God himself to help us against him.

> Castiel to Sam and Dean, ’’Gods and Monsters’’

> Michael will sense and instantly detect my near presence, and when he does he could effortlessly destroy me at the speed of thought. I wouldn’t last a literal second fighting against a fully-powered archangel, let alone the strongest one in all of existence. Even without using his nigh-omnipotent powers, archangels have infinite eons of fighting and warrior experience, they are the greatest fighters in all of existence. Michael is undefeated in battle, God’s greatest warrior and his sole defender of the universe for untold eons. He could still effortlessly annihilate me in an instant with his bear hands.Castiel to Sam and Dean

his other self in the main reality, Michael is the oldest and most powerful archangel. According to Lucifer, he is "much, much more powerful" than the main reality version of Michael and is referred to as the "Supreme Being" of the alternate universe. He is the most powerful archangel seen on the show to date, even with him not at full power, he is still unimaginably powerful, and he can still easily defeat Gabriel and the main reality Lucifer with little effort and kill his reality Lucifer with his bear hands. After possessing Dean, his true vessel and the Michael Sword, Michael gained access to his full power and became tremendously more powerful and noted to be comparable to God himself in power, which was enough to allow Dean to challenge the supercharged Lucifer, with Dean's defeat being owned to Lucifer's infinitely greater fighting skills. Michael ranks as among the oldest and most powerful being in the entire universe and as well as among the oldest and most powerful being in all of existence, only surpassed by God and the Darkness. It has been noted that when using a regular vessel he is only at "half-strength" but still immensely powerful, and possesses nigh-omnipotent levels of power. When possessing his true vessel and the Michael sword Dean Winchester, he will gain access to his full power and strength, and will become immeasurably more powerful and stronger than ever, having the power comparable to God himself and powerful enough to destroy the entire universe with a snap of his fingers and even powerful enough to obliterate entirely all of existence in a matter of a few months. Over the course of billions of years, Michael has single-handedly destroyed billions of worlds, planets, galaxies, stars, dimensions, alternate realities and entire universes in the Multiverse in revenge for God leaving him and abandoning him and his archangel brother of his universe. He claimed that he has single-handedly obliterated over 100 billion universes all over the Multiverse, by either burning them to ash, or creating and summoning cosmic storms, supernovas, hypernovas, cosmic rays, coronal mass ejections, geomagnetic storms, stellar winds, meteor showers, asteroids, solar flares, novas, or apocalyptic tornadoes, thunderstorms, floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes. Michael was the undisputed ruler of his universe and ruled alternate Heaven and all angels with an iron fist for untold eons. Furthermore, in his universe, he is so tremendously powerful that he was able to effortlessly destroy Hell and Purgatory by burning them both to ash, kill his reality Lucifer with his bear hands, single-handedly enslave and imprison all of the reapers and locked away Death effortlessly, and easily imprisoned and later killed the other three members of the Four Horseman of Apocalypse, Famine, Pestilence and War finding them useless to him, noting that he instantly disintegrated with a finger snap. He also exterminated almost all of the monster races, including the Leviathans and wiped out almost all demons, deities, witches, demigods, humans, ghosts, and hellhounds in his universe, and destroyed billions of universes in the Multiverse, further showing the immensity of his unlimited power.

* **Nigh-Omnipotence** - As he is the oldest and most powerful being in his universe, Michael is a nigh-omnipotent being, close to being absolutely omnipotent. He has an immeasurable amount of unimaginable godlike power and he has nearly limitless supernatural powers. His near-infinite power allows him to do almost anything he desires. It has been noted that when possessing his true vessel whom is the Michael sword, Dean Winchester that his power and capabilities is comparable to God himself. The new Death Billie showed to be quite fearful of him and stated that even being in a regular vessel he is more powerful than her and could easily kill her. Michael is so extraordinarily powerful that the new Death Billie stated he is a major threat to all of existence and that she believes that even her former master the original Death would be no match for Michael. She even stated that when possessing his true vessel and the Michael sword Dean Winchester he is powerful enough to challenge and match God himself. Lucifer has noted that Michael is even "much, much more powerful" than the Michael of the main reality, being referred to as the "Supreme Being" of the universe and the almost as powerful as God himself. Even for an Archangel, Michael's powers are unimaginable and incomprehensibly vast. Testament to his unlimited supernatural power is that he is capable of defeating his universe Lucifer and killing him and easily overpowering and beating the main Lucifer. The thought of him invading the main universe caused Asmodeus, one of the Princes of Hell, despite the latter gaining incalculable power from feeding on the Grace of the Archangel Gabriel, to get deathly afraid and make plans to procure a Nephilim to even have a chance to defeat him and even then he stated that he still might not be able to defeat Michael. All demons in Hell were absolutely terrified of Michael's impending invasion and thought he would destroy the entire demon race and even destroy Hell. His impending invasion also caused another archangel, Gabriel, to get scared and refuse to fight him. All angels, reapers and demons were terrified about his impending invasion and the angel Naomi stated that if Michael invades "He will be unstoppable, he will destroy the entire universe. It will be the end of everything in all of creation". Michael noted that he has destroyed trillions of alternate realities, worlds, planets, galaxies, stars, dimensions, and universes in the multiverse. The seraph Castiel also showed to be extremely fearful of him and stated that he could effortlessly destroy him in an instant. Michael indeed later quickly defeated and killed Gabriel in their altercation with little effort. His immeasurable power combined with his extreme ruthlessness and phenomenal tactical intellect makes him so dangerous that even Billie, possessing the full power of Death, showed to be very fearful of him, and noted that he was powerful enough to effortlessly kill, banish, imprison, overpower, or enslave her and all reapers as well and stated to the Winchesters that she will not get involved in fighting against him and also stated that he is an immense threat to all of existence and the universes. Michael even seemed confident that he could kill both God and the Darkness when he catches back up to them. Castiel noted that Michael doesn't fear anything or anyone at all, and later Michael stated that there is absolutely nothing that he is scared or intimidated of, not even God himself. According to himself, he single-handedly locked away the Death of his universe effortlessly and easily imprisoned and enslaved all of the reapers, destroyed all of the hellhounds, and effortlessly locked away the Leviathans in universes purgatory. He also locked away the other three members of the four Horsemen of Apocalypse, Famine, War, and Pestilence, and later killed them by disintegrating them "with a mere finger snap". He even single-handedly annihilated almost all of the demon race and erased Hell from existence. Furthermore, he wiped out much of the monster races, and deities of his universe. Further showing the immensity of his infinite power, like the main Michael, he took part in the the war against hi is aunt the Darkness whom is the Darkness of his universe, in this version of the war Michael and his three archangel siblings had no help from God at all and demanded and locked her away on their own. He also defeated and casted Lucifer from Heaven and later banished him to Hell and created the inaccessible and impenetrable magical cage to lock him inside forever, and effortlessly killed the billions of angels who sided with Lucifer in the rebellion against God. After God's departure, Michael effortlessly took over Heaven and his universe and became the undisputed ruler of his whole universe, and ruled the entire universe with an iron fist for eons. Castiel noted that if Michael invades that he can utterly destroy the entire universe within a few days. The extremely powerful witch Rowena showed to be terrified of him and she was visibly afraid of his presence and was paralyzed in extreme fear when he threatened to incinerate her to ash. She even stated that he was too powerful for any banishing, weakening, depowering, trapping, or paralysis spells to work on him. She also stated that even with the book of the damned that she couldn't stop Michael and noted he is too powerful to be defeated. Even Jack Kline was unsure if he was powerful enough to stop Michael. He is universally feared by countless beings, such as angels, demons, monsters, reapers, deities, demigods, and even Billie as the new incarnation of Death showed to be very afraid of him and even the Shadow, the ruler of the Empty recognized Michael's great power and noted that he is not a being you want to make an enemy out of. The powerful demigod Noah Ophis stated that over a year before Michael invaded the main universe he foresaw "an unimaginably powerful higher being, one of the oldest and most powerful beings in all of existence, that will escape his own universe, successfully take his revenge, gather an army of bea and has the power to destroy the entire universe and take over the entirety of existence, and nothing will stop him", referring to Michael and Noah Ophis stated that he greatly fears Michael and is terrified of his great power. Michael even ranks quite highly among other higher beings. He ranks as one of the most powerful and feared beings in all of existence. When Michael effortlessly made himself leader of all monster races, most monsters not only greatly feared him but worshipped him like a god as well. He was confident that he could obliterate all of existence. Sam and Dean even stated that Michael is a major threat to all of existence, one of the most dangerous threats to all of existence and is capable of destroying everything and everyone in all of existence, and Billie, the new Death noted that Michael is powerful enough to destroy the entire multiverse, including their universe. God himself stated that Michael poses an immense threat to absolutely all of existence and literally everything he created.

In his altercation with the main reality Lucifer, Michael proved to be able to overpower the latter easily, easily deflecting blows from Lucifer and swiftly beating him into submission and twisting his arm with little effort on his part (it must be noted that Lucifer was not at full-power during their confrontation) He later displayed even much greater superiority towards the main reality Gabriel, easily overpowering and killing him. He was also able to easily overpower and fling the extraordinarily powerful Nephilim son of Lucifer, Jack, to his prison, though Jack could not fight back due to Michael's powerful warding.

He claimed that he has destroyed and shattered many entire planets by punching them. He granted Dean the strength needed to challenge the super-charged Lucifer, allowing him to easily kick him across a church, grapple with him on equal footing and stagger him a bit with his punches.

Michael was able to instantly detect virtually anything he wants transpiring throughout the entirety of existence and knows almost everything.
* **Immortality** - As an archangel, Michael has an infinite lifespan and is almost impossible to kill. He existed infinitely long before creation and the universe itself, he is much older than creation and the universe itself. The only thing in all of existence that can kill him is an archangel blade (It must be wielded and used by another archangel to be effective). The only beings in all of existence that could kill Michael is Jack, God and the Darkness. Jack is also able to kill him, however, it must be noted that Michael was not at full power and not in his true vessel.
	+ **Invulnerability** - As an archangel, Michael is almost completely indestructible and invulnerable to almost any harm. Punches from Lucifer and Gabriel, despite their incalculable physical strength, barely affected Michael and he was barely knocked back and completely unhurt by an energized blast thrown at him by Lucifer. When thousands of bullets from a double .50 caliber machine gun and minigun were shot against him, and shot by an grenade launcher and rocket-propelled grenade launcher, the bullets were all ricocheting, and the grenade launchers did not even phase him, he was completely unharmed. He mocked them for the weak attacks and said "really? You guys were joking right?" He noted that a trillion-megaton nuclear bomb wouldn't even give him a paper cut. While in the vessel of Dean Winchester, his true vessel, his invulnerability is enhanced to the fullest, as shown when Dean fought the super-charged Lucifer, in which Dean, while in control, was able to take several blows from the Archangel without harm and only sustained minor injuries after a severe beating. Even a smiting proved to be unable to kill Dean, although it caused him some pain, allowing Dean, who was in control of the time, to turn the tides and kill Lucifer. However, his invulnerability still has limits as he is still vulnerable to Alternate Kaia's spear, which can harm him for reasons unknown. He was also briefly knocked out by hitting his head on a rock after being tripped up by Alternate Kaia, though Michael was caught off guard and completely recovered within a mere second. Although a Molotov with Holy Fire caused him mild pain, he managed to quickly recover without any lasting damage.
* **Intimidation** - Due to his status and powers as the strongest Archangel, combined with his incredibly ruthless personality, proficient leadership skills, and tremendous tactical intellect, and being a master strategist combined with his immeasurable power, makes Michael among the most dangerous beings in all of existence. Michael was indisputably the most dangerous and feared being in his universe. He commands suchS an intimidating presence that he terrifies even the strongest of angels, demons, monsters, reapers, demigods, deities, Asmodeus, Billie as the new Death, along with the Winchesters, Castiel, Gabirel, Rowena, even Lucifer. Even Lucifer, the second oldest and most powerful archangel showed to be quite fearful of Michael and was very hesitant to fight him. Even the Empty recognized Michael's immense power. Rowena was visibly terrified of him and noted that even at full power and with the book of the damned she would not be able to stop him, and she began to quake in fear when he threatened to incinerate her to ash. A Reaper found him unsettling after he told her that he imprisoned and enslaved all of the reapers and locked Death away in his universe. Billie, possessing the full power of Death, broke the rule of non-intervention because of Michael's threat to all of existence, she was very fearful of him and told Dean that she would not get directly involved knowing she wouldn't stand a chance against him. The angel Anael was extremely petrified of Michael's presence and began shivering in extreme fear when he began walking toward her. Every demon in Hell thought it was going to be the end of the entire demon race and the end of Hell if Michael invaded the main universe. Even the ruler of the Empty, the Shadow recognized Michael's great power and was impressed with Michael's power, tactical intelligence and capabilities, and stated he is not a being you want to cross. All humans in his universe are deathly afraid of him as well as all of the angels to the point where they worship him. Even God himself stated that Michael was "intimidating".
* **Master Hand-To-Hand Combatant** - The greatest and oldest of the angels, with untold eons worth of fighting experience, Michael is terrifyingly accomplished in hand-to-hand combat. During his fight with Lucifer, Michael was able to soundly out-fight him, easily deflecting his blows, only being hit twice, and landing several powerful blows that stunned Lucifer before he quickly restrained and captured him. He later easily dodged Gabriel's blade strikes without bothering to use his own sword and swiftly intercepted Gabriel's attempts to stab him and with a single swift maneuver, disarmed Gabriel of his blade, twisting his arm and stunning him in the face before using his blade to kill him. When he fought Sam, Dean and Castiel, all armed with weapons, Michael made short work of them, easily punching and knocking out Castiel before he could even attempt to slash him with one punch, swiftly knocked out Sam before he could shoot with 2 punches and effortlessly countered Dean's attempt to stab him and disarmed him of his Angel Blade before pummeling and subduing him with a choke-hold, with only the arrival of Jack preventing Michael from killing them. He also easily parried the attacks of the Alternate Kaia wielding her spear and quickly knocked her down and gave her a vicious beating, only being wounded when he was caught off-guard. Although not without visibly more effort and a bit more time than what it took to best the Alternate Kaia, Michael was able to fight off the assaults of Dean wielding the Spear and eventually disarm him, at which point he easily countered his attempted punch and choked him, only being overpowered when Dean managed to suddenly reclaim the weapon due to Sam. While inside of Dean's mind where Michael had no powers and was on even ground with his opponents, his fighting prowess was shown when he easily overwhelms Sam, Dean and Castiel all at once, although Dean's rage at Michael notably made him easily predictable. Only when they caught him by surprise were the three able to briefly overpower Michael and throw him into the bar cooler and lock it, effectively trapping him within Dean's mind.
* **Master Strategist/Tactician** - Unlike Lucifer who was stubborn and impulsive with the powers of an Archangel, Michael is a master strategist with near-infinite supernatural power. This attribute alone makes him even more dangerous than a super-charged Lucifer. He also attempted to gain possession of the spear owned by the Alternate Kaia, which can hurt him to prevent it from being used against him, further showing his strategic intellect. He later came up with a way to break Dean's spirit to end his resistance, shown by leaving his body but leaving a way back in and destroying the spear after Dean possessed it. He also destroyed the Hyperbolic pulse generator, another weapon that could impede his plans before unleashing his monster army. Michael also revealed that when Dean was having dizzy episodes, this was him spying on their plans. During his attempts to stop Team Free Will from saving Dean, he attempted to manipulate them into thinking that Dean doesn't care about them and persuade Dean to accept the possession. This shows that his tactical genius also extends to manipulating people as well, though his plan didn't succeed.
* **Master Leader**: Michael is an excellent leader, as displayed by how he effectively led the angels to victory during the Apocalypse and terrorize his world unchallenged and later when he led the army of monsters he enhanced to overwhelm the hunters, with his leadership being so prominent that when Michael was imprisoned, they all quickly scattered.

## Weaknesses

Despite his sheer power and status as an archangel, Michael has some weaknesses of his own.

* **Holy Fire** - Holy fire can trap Michael at least temporarily. After Dean placed a line of holy fire in front of him, Michael could not cross until it went out. A Molotov made with holy oil could cause him pain. When Sam set him alight with holy fire, he expressed pain for a moment, allowing Castiel to cuff him.

* **Alternate Kaia's Spear** - For reasons unknown, this spear can injure Michael as seen when he was stabbed in the shoulder by her. When Dean slashed Michael with the spear, it caused him harm before Michael repossessed Dean and destroyed the weapon.
* **Archangel Blades** - Can kill an archangel in the hands of another archangel.

* **Jack** - Out of all characters shown to challenge him, Jack has proven to be the only one capable of not only hurting Michael, but killing him as well. Without the warding's of Michael's fortress, Jack was easily able to blast Michael across a room with telekinesis and inflict great pain on Michael that damaged his vessel to the point that his eyes bled. Jack also had the power to kill Michael. After such an attack, Michael was too weak to defeat a super-charged Lucifer in his damaged vessel. In *Ouroboros* Jack managed to exorcise Michael from his vessel and effortlessly incinerate him using the power of his soul. However, doing so caused Jack to burn away his entire soul, leaving Jack in a soulless state.
* **Archangels** - Although they are no match for him, it has been seen that other archangels are able to somewhat harm him, as shown when he faced off against both Lucifer and Gabriel of the main universe. Both of the single blows that Lucifer and Gabriel managed to land caused Michael some pain and staggered him. Also, an energy blast that Lucifer send at him was able to knock him back.
* **Enochian Magic** - The Enochian Magic that was keeping Jack alive while he was without his grace allowed him to use enough of his Nephilim powers to exorcise and destroy Michael.
* **Weak Vessels** - While in a vessel that is not his true vessel, Michael is very powerful but not as strong as he could be. While in Dean Winchester, his true vessel, Michael is stated to be more powerful than he has ever been before.
* **Hyperbolic pulse generator** - It had the ability to expel him from his vessel. Michael destroyed it in his confrontation with Sam and Jack.
* **Supernatural Handcuffs** - These cuffs could potentially render him powerless. Michael was confident that the cuffs would not hold him for long and he'd get free.
* **Strong-Willed Vessels** - After Dean fought him in his subconscious, he locked Michael away in his mind. Dean was able to keep Michael locked away for a long period of time though the concentration required to do so was described as being unimaginable. Near the end, Dean was barely sleeping from the effort required. Michael was only able to break free after Dean was knocked unconscious by Noah Ophis, thus breaking Dean's concentration on holding Michael prisoner.
* **Ma'lak Box** - Stated to be especially potent against archangels, the box is stated to be capable of holding even an archangel of Michael's level of power for eternity.
* **Lucifer's Cage** - This cell can hold any angel, therefore including archangels, without any internal means of escape.
