The world of Supernatural is full of dangerous and powerful beings. This is the basis of the story, as men like Dean and Sam Winchester have tasked themselves with protecting their world from the threats of angels, demons, and monsters, and they are simply part of a larger group of hunters that fight to protect the weak and innocent. That isn't easy, however, as there are forces from Heaven and Hell, as well as the world of the supernatural has brought the world to its knees. This is really what makes Supernatural so fun to watch -- its about two regular guys who become extraordinary to save the world on a weekly basis.
With that said, not all beings on Supernatural are created equal. There are angels and archangels, as well as demons of varying levels, from white-eyed to yellow-eyed and everything in between. There are also monsters, Alphas, ghosts, and ghouls, as well as a good share of human villains that Dean and Sam must face throughout their journey. There are also good and bad angels and demons, which makes it even more difficult for the hunters who are tasked with protecting the world. With so many different powerful characters on Supernatural, here is a look at some of the strongest beings, as well as a few of the weakest that the Winchester brothers have faced along the way.
With that said, here are The 25 Most Powerful (And 5 Weakest) Beings In Supernatural, Officially Ranked.
Weakest: GORDON WALKER
Gordon Walker should have been one of the strongest human villains that Sam and Dean Winchester ever faced. However, he ended up being one of the weakest villains despite being a former hunter. Walker's story was that he ended up a cold-blooded hunter after a vampire took down his sister.
Walker hunted every monster -- both good or evil -- and his psychosis made him unstable and a danger to Sam, who he considered to be a threat. After he was bitten by a vampire, he tried to take out Sam before taking his own life. However, he only lost his head in the battle.
Powerful: GADREEL
Gadreel was very powerful due to the fact that he was always God's most trusted angel. However, because of his deceit, Gadreel became a very powerful villain over time, allowing Lucifer to tempt Eve. He was also directly responsible for the war between Lucifer and Michael.
He was imprisoned and tortured because he directly caused the chaos inflicted onto the world and it just made him stronger. After taking on Sam as a vessel in an act of manipulation, Gadreel soon grew to rival even the strength of Castiel at one point. In the end, Gadreel sacrificed himself for the greater good.
Powerful: SAMUEL COLT
When it comes to hunters, there might not be a stronger and more reliable hunter in history than Samuel Colt. This is one of the many characters on the show who is based on a real person and, as most people know by his name, he is the hunter who created the useful Colt -- the only weapon that can easily end the life of any supernatural being. Colt also created the lock that kept The Devil's Gate closed. Supernatural gave fans a look at Colt when Dean Winchester went back in time.
How strong is Samuel Colt? He retired from hunting rather than falling in battle like most of his kind.
Powerful: MEG
Meg is the daughter of Azazel and was an early nemesis for Sam and Dean Winchester. She was as strong and as dangerous as they come, ending the lives of many of the Winchester's allies and possessing Sam for a time. She was finally defeated, but she took her toll on the boys.
She returned as an ally later when she wanted to help Sam and Dean defeat Crowley, who had become the ruler in Hell because she knew that Dean could help with that goal. How strong is Meg? She took down an angel and even beat three Leviathans, which is pretty impressive for a black-eyed demon.
Powerful: ALASTAIR
Alastair is a white-eyed demon, which means that he is an extremely strong being on Supernatural. He also might have been the second ever created after Lilith, so he has years of experience under his belt. Because of this, he is very powerful. He served as the lead torturer in Hell, after all, which is pretty impressive (and scary).
Castiel, who was considered one of the strongest angels in existence, found himself overpowered during fights with Alastair, who was able to withstand many of Castiel's offensive attacks. He started the Apocalypse as well, though he was always held down because he was subservient to Lilith.
Powerful: AZAZEL
The first demon that fans of Supernatural ever saw was Azazel -- the yellow-eyed demon that took the life of Mary Winchester and sent John Winchester on his life-long vendetta, dragging his sons Dean and Sam along with him. He was able to beat John more than once and even took down Sam for a short time.
Azazel was unique, as we didn't see another yellow-eyed demon until season 12. However, he wasn't as powerful as many who came later. He did dip his blood into Sam's mouth, which was meant to help Lucifer rise from Hell, though, so he did a lot of damage when he kicked this story into motion.
Weakest: ASMODEUS
Asmodeus deserves some credit for being the last Prince of Hell in existence. However, while that was a nice bit of survival on his part, he really isn't anywhere near as powerful as the ones who fell before him. Though Asmodeus pulled off something very impressive when he imprisoned Lucifer, he fell hard.
Not only did his plan of taking over Hell fail, but he also then tried to take on Gabriel. This was a huge mistake, and when he fell, it caused the extinction of the Princes of Hell. Asmodeus never matched up to any of the denizens of Hell that appeared on Supernatural before him.
Powerful: METATRON
It seems strange to look at Booger from Revenge of the Nerds and think of one of the strongest beings on Supernatural. However, this happened when actor Curtis Armstrong was cast as Metatron on Supernatural. Metatron was the scribe of God, and while this meant that he was a pencil pusher in Heaven, it also meant he had a ton of knowledge and power once God disappeared.
Not all strength lies in physical power. Metatron used his knowledge from the scribes to create a spell using Castiel to boot all of the angels out of Heaven. This caused a huge war on Earth between the angels while Metatron decided to attain his own god-like powers in Heaven.
Powerful: ALPHA VAMPIRE
The Alpha Vampire was very strong and powerful, which is expected since he was the first vampire in existence. Eve created the Alpha Vampire, who then started the lineage of creatures that were very hard for Sam and Dean Winchester to beat and were responsible for the demise of many hunters over the years.
He existed long before humans learned to create fire. However, it took a very specific attack to defeat the Alpha Vampire and it wasn't until season 12 of Supernatural that he was finally taken down. While his end was quick and final, he was the strongest monster left on Earth at the time after Crowley set out to wipe out all of the Alphas.
Powerful: LILITH
Lilith has one advantage over just about every other demon in existence. This white-eyed demon was the first demon that Eve ever created, making her one of the most powerful in existence, even outranking Hell's torturer Alastair. The Princes of Hell and Cain are the only ones who rivaled her in of power.
Lilith was immune to the weaknesses of other demons and was able to defeat angels in battle quite handily. Her only real weakness was the archangels, although it was a human (Sam Winchester) who eventually took her down. Even during her ing, she remained strong as her sacrifice freed Lucifer.
