Lucifer (Supernatural)

"Yeah, this is what Pop wanted to get his hands on. Hmm. Did I say that out loud? Yeah, Pop was the one who let me out of the Empty. I'm sort of the new Favorite now. What did Dad say about you? Oh yeah. Mikey's a cuck. You're a cuck. (...) So... buddy... you're gonna have to make a decision now. Uh, dump the losers and join Gramps and me on the winning team. Of course, this is the only way you're getting out of here alive 'cause your not strong enough to fight me now so... What do you say, kid? What do you say? Come on. Somebody's behind me, right? You don't learn."

- Lucifer reveals the true purpose behind his resurrection before dying once again

Lucifer, also known as The Devil, Light Bringer, Angel of Light, The Morning Star, The Beast, The Destroyer, Dark Lord, Dark Prince, Dark Master, Dark Overlord, Lord of Darkness, Prince of Darkness, King of Evil, King of Lies, Father of Evil, The Epitome of Evil, God of Demons, Father of Abominations, The Fallen One, King of Destruction, and Satan, was the second of the four Archangels created by God and was his favorite son and most valued lieutenant. For untold eons, Lucifer was God's most beloved son and most trusted lieutenant, and was also God's right-hand man. He is also a fallen archangel and the very first fallen angel. He is the original ruler of Hell and the creator of demons, seen by them as a father, savior, overlord, leader, and their god. As the second-born Archangel, he is one of the oldest and most powerful beings in The Universe, as well as one of the oldest and most powerful beings in all of existence. Lucifer, like his Archangel brothers existed infinitely long before the creation of The Universe, making them infinitely more than 15 billion years old. Lucifer, and his brothers are also ancient Primordial Entities. He is the younger brother of Michael and the older brother of Raphael and Gabriel and the biological father to his son Jack. Lucifer noted that he is more than 500 centillion years old.

He is a recurring character, the main antagonist of Season 5, one of the two main antagonists of Season 12 and Season 13 and the secondary antagonist of Season 7 and Season 11.

According to Gabriel, Lucifer is, or at least was, God's favorite son and most beloved creation, but when God asked for all angels to bow down to humanity, Lucifer refused both out of jealousy and wounded pride over being commanded to bow to what he saw as a broken, flawed, and murderous species and no longer feeling he was God's favorite creation. This was caused by the Mark of Cain corrupting him and boosting his dislike towards humanity. He waged a war against God but was eventually cast out of Heaven by Michael, and later banished to Hell by Michael, both times on God's command. All of Azazel's actions were motivated with the goal of eventually releasing Lucifer from his cage in Hell.

Like all other angels, Lucifer must have the permission of a strong enough human to use as his vessel, as he can not forcefully possess a person. Being an archangel, Lucifer possesses infinitely more power than all other angels. He is also infinitely more powerful than all pagan gods, ghosts, demons, demigods, alphas, reapers, leviathans, vengeful spirits, horsemen, cosmic entities, deities, chief gods, and all species of monsters and all other supernatural creatures most of whom greatly fear him, thus being among the oldest and most powerful entities in all of existence and among the oldest and most powerful entities the Winchesters have ever encountered. But his immense power causes regular vessels to instantly explode, and can even make strong vessels rapidly decay and required to drink vast amounts of demon blood or possess either his true vessel (Sam) or an alternate more stable vessel (Castiel).

Eventually, he was finally freed and allowed to roam the Earth when the final seal (the death of Lilith) was broken by Sam.

Freed from his cage, he took action to bring about the Apocalypse and cleanse the Earth (aka "The last perfect handiwork of God") of human beings (the flawed creation). Even after Lucifer was able to possess Sam Winchester, his true vessel, Sam's love for his brother Dean allowed Sam to briefly regain control of his body, and seal himself, Lucifer, Michael, and Adam Milligan back in Lucifer's Cage.

After the release of Amara about five years later, the cage was damaged and Lucifer (whilst he still couldn't leave it) began telepathically reaching out to Sam to get him to return to Hell and release Lucifer so he could return to the world, working with Rowena to achieve this. Though Sam refused, Castiel said "yes" and Lucifer returned to the world in Castiel's body.

After reconciling with God, Lucifer joined him, Sam, and Dean in an attack to defeat Amara. However, Amara, not wanting to be re-imprisoned, overpowered God and in her rage, she pulled Lucifer from Castiel's body when he went to attack her and help his father. It is unknown where he was banished but he survived and was able to take possession of Vince Vincente, an aging musician. After the death of Vince, Lucifer began seeking out vessels with power and influence, culminating in President Jefferson Rooney. Lucifer was eventually exorcised from Rooney and returned to his Cage, but not before he conceived a Nephilim with Kelly Kline. It was later revealed that Crowley perverted the spell so that Lucifer became his prisoner in the body of Nick once more. Later, however, Lucifer (with the help of a demon) is able to turn the tables on Crowley and seemingly kills him. He then reclaims his position as Ruler of Hell and sets off to find his unborn son. After a battle with the Winchesters and Crowley, Lucifer killed Castiel and was trapped in an alternate reality by Mary Winchester.

In that reality, Lucifer encounters the alternate version of Michael, who beats him into submission after a brief exchange of words and bout, takes him prisoner, and extracts much of his grace to fuel a spell to open a rift to the main Earth. However, Lucifer manages to escape to the core world just as the unstable rift collapses, where he discovers that much of his power has left him and very low on grace. After saving a resurrected Castiel from a group of angels, he curiously inquires about his son, but they are both soon apprehended and taken into custody by the last Prince of Hell, Asmodeus, as Lucifer has lost most of his powers and strength.

After escaping Asmodeus, Lucifer attempted to steal Castiel's grace only for the latter to stab the very weakened archangel with an angel blade. Lucifer retreated from the area and tried to steal grace from more angels.

Later however after meeting and allying himself an angel named Anael he starts feeding on her grace but not all of it, allowing her to recharge before he decides to bargain with the Angels into convincing them to make him the undisputed Ruler of Heaven with the promise that he'll create more angels and restore the wings of the angels that have survived since the fall. However, his promises were revealed to be lies in order to grant Lucifer more power. He later abandoned this post and went to a bar in a state of despair that nobody would ever respect him. He was soon apprehended by his brother, Gabriel and Rowena MacLeod, both of whom Lucifer believed he had killed, allowing them to gain the upper hand on the surprised Archangel.

After being captured to power a ritual to open a door to Apocalypse World, Lucifer learned that his son was in the alternate world and found his purpose revitalized. Resurrecting a recently-deceased Sam, Lucifer formed a reluctant alliance with the hunter to find his son and help stop Michael.

After Lucifer was trapped on the other side he allied himself with Michael, on the terms that he can have Jack while Michael gets everything else. After stealing his son's power, Lucifer was fought for a final time by Dean powered by Michael who Dean was acting as a vessel to. With the help of Michael, Dean finally killed Lucifer with an archangel blade.

However, his vessel Nick survived and began a mission to avenge his family. Nick began killing people and felt remorse for his actions, so he prayed for Lucifer to come back and unknowingly awakened him from his eternal slumber within The Empty. Despite the revelation that Lucifer was behind his family's murders, Nick began a search for the archangel, working with demons to bring him back. After contacting Lucifer through Prophet Donatello Redfield, Lucifer told Nick a rare spell to use to resurrect him. Nick used the spell and attempted to resurrect Lucifer and succeeded in bringing him back to Earth. However, Jack intervened and sent Lucifer back to the Empty before killing Nick, foiling Lucifer's resurrection.

Around two years after his death, Lucifer is resurrected by God in order to get Chuck's Death Book during which time Lucifer is reunited with his brother Michael. After getting the book open, Lucifer reveals his true purpose and that he is now God's Favorite, but Lucifer is killed for a second time by Michael with an archangel blade supplied to him by Sam before he can get away with the book. The power from the fight between Michael and Lucifer and Lucifer's death helps to vastly power Jack up in order to defeat God.

Personality
"I was a son. A brother, like you. A younger brother. And I had an older brother who I loved. Idolized, in fact. And one day, I went to him and I begged him to stand with me, and Michael... Michael turned on me. Called me a freak. A monster. And then he beat me down. All because I was different. Because I had a mind of my own."

- Lucifer's sense of betrayal

"Lucifer: She saw me when I was scouting out the bunker. She saw me and she screamed, so I crushed her skull with my bare hands and it was warm and wet and I liked it. Jack: You're not my father... You're a monster."

- Jack forcing Lucifer to confess what he did to Maggie''

Lucifer was one of God's very first creations, he was created after Michael whom was his very first creation, making Lucifer the second creation of God. He was created by God infinitely long before the Big Bang and creation itself. Gabriel noted that he and his brothers are more than 500 centillion years old, making him and his archangel brothers among the first and oldest beings in all of existence and Gods very first creations. Lucifer was created by God 1 trillion years after Michael, and Michael and Lucifer spent centillions of years together before Raphael and Gabriel were created by God. Lucifer was raised by Michael and he taught Gabriel various tricks and how to control and alter reality. It is unknown of the relationship between Lucifer and Raphael. Lucifer noted that he and Raphael did not have much of a rrelationship with any of his brothers nor did they speak often. Lucifer was once the most beautiful and beloved celestial being in all of existence. God loved Lucifer the most of all his angels and creations. Because of his elevated status among the other angels, Lucifer was very proud. When humanity was created, due to the Mark of Cain corrupting him into jealousy, he was unwilling to accept that he was no longer God's favorite. When God commanded all those of Heaven to love his new creation more than himself, Lucifer refused. Lucifer pleaded: "Father, I can't. These human beings are flawed. Murderous!" Lucifer continued his disobedience, asking Michael to stand by his side in his rebellion against God's orders. Michael refused Lucifer's request, and under God's command, Michael cast Lucifer into Hell. When Lucifer returned to Heaven, he listed the Salem witch trials, Nazi Germany, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the 9/11 attacks as proof of mankind's unworthiness.

Naturally, being cast out of Heaven enraged Lucifer, and he struck back by traveling to a highly secure and hidden paradise-like holy realm called the Garden of Eden, and threatened and petrified the high-ranking warrior Angel Gadreel whom was the protector of the Garden of Eden into letting him enter the realm or he would cause him "eternal torture and suffering", as Lucifer entered the realm he successfully unraveled the entire realm corrupting Adam and Eve by manipulating them into eating the Forbidden Fruit, and twisting and torturing the soul of a human woman, Lilith. After completely stripping her of her humanity, her soul was transformed into the very first demon. Long before the underwater city of Atlantis was completely flooded, Lucifer then created the four Princes of Hell, created in this order: Azazel, Ramiel, Dagon, and Asmodeus, some of the most powerful demons nearly impossible to kill, Lucifer trained them to be generals for Hell's armies, he granted them immense power and incredible abilities, and making them immeasurably more powerful than lesser demons and even more powerful than lower and regular angels, and he made them strong enough to easily overpower, harm and even kill lower and regular angels with their own power. Lucifer noted that he created the Princes of Hell over 250,000 years ago. Not long after creating the Princes of Hell, Lucifer corrupted Cain into murdering his brother Abel, and then twisting and torturing Cain's soul transforming him into the first Knight of Hell, and later transferred the Mark of Cain onto Cain, turning him into one of the deadliest demons to ever live, and Lucifer went on to create hundreds of more Knights of Hell, elite warrior demons nearly impossible to kill, such as Abaddon who were elite and powerful warrior demons, whom would serve as elite soldiers/warriors in Hell's armies, they are also fanatically loyal to Lucifer ans view him as their god. Shortly after, Lucifer created the White-eyed demon Alastair, and later granted him the position of being the grand torturer of Hell. Disaster Demons, Samhain, Daeva, Acheri, The Seven Deadly Sins are the only demons that Lucifer created out of thin air. Lucifer then twisted and tortured millions of other human souls, stripped their humanity, and transformed them into demons for Hell's army known as "Black-eyed demons" whom are the lowest and weakest type of demons, He also created thousands of "Crossroad demons" or "Red-eyed demons" whom are demonic deal-makers for Hell, demons who grant wishes for humans in order to gain their souls and resulting in the person dying and going to Hell to be transformed into a demon upon death. Lucifer also ordered his personal Hellhound Ramsey, whom is the first and strongest hellhound and only loyal to Lucifer, to regrow the hellhound species as it was nearly extinct, and tasked the hellhounds with collecting the souls of humans whose deals are come due. At some point later, the youngest Prince of Hell, Asmodeus sought to please his father/creator Lucifer by releasing the Shedim, an unknown type of demonic entities "things so dark and base God himself would not allow them into the light." Asmodeus believed that he could train and use the Shedim despite Lucifer fearing them for an unknown reason. Lucifer instead single-handedly weakened the Shedim and locked them away in an inaccessible section of Hell, deciding not to destroy them because he could find them useful. Lucifer severely and mercilessly punished Asmodeus for a long time by inflicting three lasting scars upon Asmodeus' face and viciously and horrifically torturing him. After that, Asmodeus remained completely loyal to his father, creator and king, and immensely feared, loved and worshipped him even more and sought for eons to serve his every command and never anger him again. Because of these unforgivable blasphemies against God, Lucifer was further punished by being placed into additional solitary imprisonment within Hell. He remained there in isolation for thousands of years. Lucifer's long term goal was to eventually be freed from the Cage, eradicate humanity, and restore Earth to its original "untainted" glory. It is suggested that Lucifer only uses demons as servants and would eradicate all of them as well, because, despite them being his creations, he considers demons to be even less worthy than humans. Proof of this is shown when he casually kills thousands of them. However, he holds his greatest contempt for Pagan Gods, believing them to be petty, disloyal, and the lowest of all beings because they claim to be gods.

Lucifer claims that he never lies or even tricks, because he does not have to, as he has said, "I will never lie to you. I will never trick you." He promised both his vessels, Nick and Sam, that he would be honest with them. He also said that he sympathizes with his vessels, both of whom are victims like himself. He went to some lengths to get Sam's acceptance, sparing Dean's life on several occasions, and allowing Sam revenge against some of the demons that controlled his life. Despite this, Lucifer is largely manipulative and has been proven to mislead on occasion, suggesting that this was more of a ploy to gain trust, rather than an actual commitment, and he would bend this rule when it's to his advantage. Furthermore, Lucifer tries to gain sympathy from his opponents such as Dean by claiming that he is truly a victim and was justified in his actions.

Lucifer shows concern for his fellow angels, though it is the archangels he loves most. He captured Castiel and admired the angel's loyalty in refusing to reveal the presence of his friends. He invited his younger brother to join him since they were both enemies of Heaven, but when Castiel refused, Lucifer respected his decision and offered him a chance to change his mind. Lucifer was remorseful when forced to kill what he believed to be Gabriel and was disappointed when Michael berated him. When preparing to fight his older sibling in their pre-destined catastrophic battle, Lucifer pleaded with Michael to "walk off the chessboard," but Michael remained determined to fulfill his destiny and serve God. Even so, when Castiel struck Michael with holy fire, Lucifer was outraged by the attack on his brother and obliterated Castiel, stating only he had the right to hurt Michael.

Gabriel criticized Lucifer, describing his actions as "one great big temper tantrum." Death made similar observations, as they have both called him a petulant man with daddy issues. Lucifer is also very arrogant, fearless, relentless, ruthlessly efficient, savagely vicious, monstrous, merciless, and extremely vengeful, taking his betrayal and hatred out on the entire world without any remorse. Nonetheless, Lucifer sees himself as a tragic figure who was punished for being right. He refuses to accept any blame for his actions and suggests that God intentionally made Lucifer the way he is, asserting that "God wanted the Devil."

Lucifer is also highly cruel, incredibly ruthless, supremely dangerous, ferocious, barbaric, and unimaginably evil to anyone who gets in his way, and despite his claims of being the victim, he has no qualms about killing anyone who angers him, even if he has no true reason for killing them. For example, he savagely massacred all the pagan gods effortlessly (except for Kali, who was rescued by Gabriel and escaped), simply because they plotted against him, despite the fact that they posed no real threat to him and takes great pleasure in beating Dean for being "such a pain in (his) ass." He also slaughtered an entire town by sacrificing thousands of men, women and children and then having his demons possess the men before killing them just to raise Death and the other Horsemen.

Lucifer has a sense of humor equivalent to Gabriel and Balthazar, rare in many angels. He can be sarcastic and casually indifferent, usually a testament to his arrogance. This highlighted particularly in Sam's hallucinations of him, where he sees him as constantly shedding a snarky and wise-cracking light on Sam's everyday actions. When reunited with Sam in Hell, Lucifer proves to have a comical side, going so far as to dance during a fight with his enemies.

While Lucifer is angry with God for imprisoning him, he feels that it's a family issue and that dealing with Amara is more important to the point that he is willing to put aside his differences with his father and the Winchesters to fight her after the torture Amara put him through. After seeing God for the first time in millions of years, Lucifer initially seemed uncertain on how to react, but soon began to act somewhat like a petulant child, demanding an apology and locking himself in Sam's room when he didn't get one. However, after God actually apologized and explained his behavior, Lucifer forgave him and the two reconciled their differences to the point that Lucifer not only fought for God, he tried to save his father from Amara despite her being more powerful than he is.

In the aftermath of the war with Amara, Lucifer seems solely interested in maintaining power in Hell, refusing to let Crowley stand in his way. He displays extreme cruelty towards everyone who slightly upsets him. However, he makes an exception with Rowena, whose powers he is dependent upon until she manages to betray him. Although repeatedly regarded as "evil" by this point, Lucifer was generous enough to keep up his promise with Vince and heal his sister Wendy of her paralysis. Following his banishment by Rowena, Lucifer comes back vengeful against God, believing that God had only apologized to get Lucifer's help against the Darkness before abandoning him a second time. Lucifer is both angry and devastated by this, in near tears when explaining his reasoning to the Winchesters and Castiel. He now sees no point in any of God's creations and intends to do whatever he feels like, specifically stating that he has no other plan and wants to wipe out all of humanity.

Lucifer's disregard for anyone but himself remains prominent as he seeks out influential humans as his vessels, eventually landing with the President of the United States. Simply for the fun of it, Lucifer takes the president's lover to his bed, and willingly conceives a child with her, the purpose of this is uncertain, though he expresses joy about finally creating a child. He is enraged when Kelly threatens to abort the child and becomes even more furious when Sam expels him from his vessel.

As Crowley's prisoner, Lucifer remains confident, humorous and fearless as he does not believe Crowley will get what he wants from him. Even after being tortured, he merely puts up a front that he will submit to Crowley's rule. Although he claimed to have lost his purpose after God's abandonment of him, Lucifer seems to have regained it by focusing on his son. Lucifer also admits to one demon that he is not well-known for his patience. After his escape, Lucifer's primary objective is to be with his son.

Alternate Michael, upon reading Lucifer's mind, notes that his greatest fear is being imprisoned again.

After losing most of his grace, Lucifer became more human, requiring food, water, oxygen, sleep, rest, and feeling emotions, heat, and the cold, something that disgusted him but he also didn't know how to deal with. Lucifer admits after feeling human sensations that he doesn't understand how people keep going.

In a more vulnerable moment, Lucifer admitted that he always wanted to fit in and please a father that he could never please. He admits that he fears to be as bad of a father to Jack as God was to him.

In Bring 'em Back Alive, after trying to help humans as the new God, Lucifer appeared to be genuinely distressed by the idea that humans hated him because of God's "propaganda." Anael also points out he does not really want to find Jack since he is afraid of 'seeing contempt in his eyes'. He even revealed he can't do the things he promised the angels and only needed them to gain power, this was in contrast to his words of never lying. Lucifer was also shown to get easily enraged and saddened at the mention of locking him back in the Cage.

When he next appeared, he was depressed and drinking in a bar, telling the bartender how neither Heaven nor Hell matters to him, and that all he cares about is Jack. He was so depressed from being unable to feel Jack's presence that he nearly cried while he asked Gabriel to put him out of his misery when he held an Archangel Blade to his heart. He had no intention of defending himself against a very weakened Gabriel or the Winchesters, even when they stated they'd drain him of his Grace and have Gabriel kill him with the archangel blade.

He started annoying and upsetting Rowena to pass the time, which made her lash out by telling him they'd use his Grace to retrieve Mary and Jack. Knowing where his son is and being insulted as being "nothing to him, to anyone" angered him which enabled him to easily break free of the extremely powerful binding and depowering spell Rowena cast on him even with depleted grace. He replenished most of his Grace by "eating" dozens of Angels and instantly resurrected Sam in order to present him to Jack so he could finally build a relationship with his son and Lucifer even protected Sam by telekinetically holding back a horde of vampires effortlessly, stating that before he'd just kidnap him but realized that wasn't an option. He smiled upon finally meeting Jack.

He successfully bonds with Jack, who was curious about his family but doesn't get along with Gabriel, Castiel, and the Winchesters, who despise him and want him away from Jack. He impresses Jack with his immense power and knowledge, much to the Winchesters disdain. When Lucifer attempts to reconnect with, or at least talk to Gabriel, and start arguing about the past, Gabriel calls Lucifer a "cancer" God had to cut out, he was visibly hurt and shed a tear.

He stood behind with Gabriel in order to protect Jack and the refugees fleeing to Main Earth when Michael attacked, despite being weakened and low on grace. He managed to stagger and knock back Michael with a large energy blast. But being weakened, he quickly overpowered by Michaels powerful energy blasts. After being overwhelmed by Michael, he tries to cross the rift but is held back by Sam, who asked him "How did you think this was gonna end?"

When he decided to team up with Michael, on the terms that he can have Jack while Michael can get everything else; he looked visibly conflicted by it. After reuniting with Jack and trying to leave Earth, he was nearly successful and played on his son's enthusiasm before Jack learned Lucifer killed his friend by compelling him to tell the truth, revealing he did kill Maggie and really enjoyed it. Lucifer was visibly upset when Jack called him a monster and denied Lucifer as a father, and screamed in Jack's face before shedding tears when he recognized contempt in Jack's eyes. He completely abandoned any relationship with his son and stole most of his grace, reverting to his old self. His narcissism, ruthlessness, and desire to be worshiped became his most dominating qualities, as he was going to wipe out the universe and make a new one in his image to be worshipped. He came to believe that family only brings pain and was unnecessary even punching his son and taunting him by declaring he could make more. He returned to his cruel and sadistic mannerisms as he was going to force Sam, and his own son Jack, to kill each other for his own amusement. He tried to make Sam see Jack as a killer while trying to prove to Jack that the Winchesters didn't care about him. His ambitions took priority over his son as he said he would just make more after Jack tried to get his father to stop and beat him down.

Killed By
After Lucifer becomes super-charged by stealing Jack's grace, Dean agrees to become the vessel for the Apocalypse World Michael on the condition that Dean remains in control and Michael power him. Wielding several of Michael's powers, Dean battles Lucifer to the death but is overpowered by the super-charged Fallen Archangel as he gloats over his victory. As Lucifer begins smiting Dean, Sam tosses Dean Michael's archangel blade. Dean, with Michael powering him so that he can resist Lucifer's smiting and wield the weapon, brushes off the attack and stabs Lucifer in the side with the archangel blade, killing him. Lucifer's vessel Nick survives his death and later prays to him, awakening him in The Empty. However, although Nick tries to resurrect Lucifer, the attempt is foiled by Jack and Lucifer is returned to the Empty.
 * Dean Winchester (First Time)

After being resurrected by God in order to get Chuck's Death Book, Lucifer briefly battles his brother. Michael eventually teleports behind Lucifer and when Lucifer turns around, Michael stabs him with an archangel blade supplied to Michael by Sam. Once again fire bursts from Lucifer's eyes and mouth before Lucifer explodes into ash.
 * Michael (Second Time)

Characteristics
According to Uriel when recounting Lucifer's rebelliousness in On The Head Of A Pin, Lucifer's true form is apparently considered extraordinarily powerful, beautiful and magnificent among angels. Sam Winchester and Rowena MacLeod had a different reaction to seeing Lucifer's true form, finding it truly terrifying, and remained haunted by it months or even years later, though it is entirely possible that Lucifer’s long imprisonment in Hell warped his once very beautiful true form causing him his true form to become terrifyingly monstrous, beastly and petrifying. When manifesting without a vessel on Earth, Lucifer appears as an unbelievably gigantic, blinding, deafening, fatal, and intense white light that can reach far above outer space, or, when severely weakened, a slender cloud of glowing, bluish-white smoke, identical to regular angels. It s said that his true form reaches the moon (1.2 billion feet; 239 miles) When manifesting within a vessel's mind or in Hell without a vessel, Lucifer usually, but not always, takes the form of his first known vessel, Nick. Nick appears to be Lucifer's favored form to manifest in when Lucifer is in a situation where he gets to choose his appearance similar to how the Alternate Michael continued to use Dean's visage while communicating with a sleeping Rowena.

When Lucifer projected his wings while possessing a vessel, they were unbelievably large and intense, being able to tower over an entire city, and revealed to be the largest wings shown thus far, immeasurably larger than any angels wings shown yet. Uniquely, Lucifer causes his vessel's irises to glow fiery red and leaves the pupils unchanged, instead of a blue eye-glow with dots of white light in the centre. While being an archangel, Lucifer appears to have tainted/corrupted grace - according to one angel, Lucifer carries the stench of Hell on him. The prophet Donatello Redfield described Lucifer's power as being extremely dark and toxic when comparing it to his son's.

Like Michael, Lucifer required either his true vessel or a vessel from an extremely powerful bloodline to house him permanently - Nick was a notable exception after his body was repaired and modified, enabling Lucifer to possess him for over a year without ill effects. When possessing vessels weaker than this, Lucifer's power would cause the vessel to "burn away" and decay over time, similar to Hael's vessel in I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here, manifesting as burn and rot-like blemishes on the vessel's skin, and in Vince Vincente's case, eventual blackening of the skin and darkening of the eyeballs.

While possessing a vessel, Lucifer usually retains the vessel's appearance without altering it. His 2014 alternate timeline counterpart, however, dressed Sam in an all-white suit and combed his hair back while his alternate reality counterpart did the exact same thing. After possessing Vince Vincente, Lucifer made an exception and chose to redress Vince in black clothing topped with a leather jacket. After escaping imprisonment from Crowley, Lucifer finally decides to change Nick's disheveled attire, donning a brown leather jacket over a white shirt. This jacket was lost following Lucifer's escape from Apocalypse World, leaving him with the shirt and Lucifer obtained a beige jacket as a replacement.

In Let the Good Times Roll, after stealing Jack's grace and becoming "supercharged", Lucifer's eyes glowed gold like Jack's instead of red. While in the Empty and after his resurrection, Lucifer’s eyes returned to their red glow. When killed by Dean Winchester with an archangel blade, fire burst from Lucifer's vessel in addition to the bright light which bursts from all angels' and archangels' facial orifices. It was initially unclear if this was something unique to Lucifer or was due to his supercharged state at the time. When Michael killed him with an archangel blade for the second and final time, fire once again erupted from Lucifer's eyes and mouth, showing that this was something unique to Lucifer.

In Unhuman Nature, upon awakening in the Empty, Lucifer formed as a black, liquid, skeletal humanoid with his signature red eyes. When he briefly emerged from the Empty in Game Night, Lucifer also revealed that he had black, viscous angel wings on this humanoid form, and his liquid form was shot through with flashes of white light.

In Inherit the Earth, the resurrected Lucifer was given his own body by God, taking on the form of Nick once again despite not actually using the man as his vessel this time. When Lucifer is killed, his body bursts into ash instead of leaving behind any sort of remains as a result of this.

Trivia

 * As stated in The Essential Supernatural, Lucifer is the Ruler of Hell and the King of Hell as well as King Snake, the Prince of Darkness, the Lord of Flies and the Father of Lies.
 * Being the boss of Azazel and Lilith, Lucifer is the overall Big Bad of Supernatural starting in season 1 to the end of season 4. He takes the stage as the main antagonist in season 5, he comes back as the secondary antagonist in season 7 along with Edgar and also returns as the secondary antagonist in Season 11. He is the main antagonist in Season 12 (along with Doctor Hess) and Season 13 (along with Alternate Michael).
 * Series creator Eric Kripke has jokingly compared him to a "raging psychotic" version of environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr., with "unlimited power".
 * A homage to John Milton's Paradise Lost, Lucifer will be portrayed as "gentle, almost sympathetic." Kripke further characterized him as a "Devil who has a doubt" and "a lot of affection for God and the angels," and who "speaks really tenderly and gently and... doesn't lie.
 * He is the only known supernatural being to become the President of the United States, which he became when he possessed Jefferson Rooney.
 * Kripke reasoned, "He was essentially betrayed, so in some ways, he can be viewed sympathetically... if we can make the angels dicks, Lucifer can be sympathetic.
 * The way Lucifer killed Baldur is similar to the way, Albert Wesker killed Ozwell E. Spencer in the video game series Resident Evil, in both method and words delivered upon killing their respective victims.
 * Of all the Archangels, Lucifer has appeared the most in the series. He is also the most recurring Primordial Entity and the most often seen singular villain on the show.
 * So far in the series, Lucifer has used five main vessels; Nick, Sam, Castiel (the latter of which is an angel possessing an empty vessel), Vince Vincente, Jefferson Rooney, and was lastly once again possessing Nick.
 * Lucifer is the only archangel whose name doesn't end with "el" but end with "er." This is because Lucifer is the Latin calque of the Hebrew Helel ben Shahar, which roughly translates as "Morning Star, the Son of Dawn", a name which only appears once in the Hebrew Bible.
 * Before season 5 it was believed that God was the one who locked him in his cage but it was then revealed in season 5 that it was actually Michael who cast Lucifer into Hell on God's orders.
 * According to Mark Pellegrino in the Season 7 Companion Guide, Lucifer was probably more than just a hallucination and that he was possibly a psychic projection of Lucifer still stuck in The Cage.
 * Lucifer was named one of TV Guide's "Top 60 Villains of All Time".
 * As with Gadreel, Lucifer is the most significant antagonist of the series. He is the one who brought about the chaos upon the universe, creation of demon kind, God leaving (alongside Gadreel's failure) and the Apocalypse. While Gadreel is the indirect catalyst for these events, Lucifer directly carried out these actions.
 * Lucifer is the first antagonist to be defeated by being re-sealed back in his original confinement while most other antagonists are killed in their inaugural season.
 * All the main cast members (with the exception of Mark Sheppard) have portrayed Lucifer at one point. Jared portrayed Lucifer twice in Season 5 and once in Season 15, Jensen portrayed Lucifer in Season 7 for a brief moment, and Misha portrayed Lucifer for half of Season 11.
 * Lucifer's irises glow reddish orange in O Brother, Where Art Thou? making him the first Archangel to show a special eye color similar to how Castiel and other angels' eyes glow blue. He later displays the similar glow after possessing Vince.
 * In the episode LOTUS, Lucifer's eyes start to glow pure red instead of reddish orange.
 * According to Mark Pellegrino, Lucifer's wings are "hot pink and sparkly".
 * In The Devil is in the Details, Lucifer made a reference to the show Lucifer that premieres on Fox of that year when he said that maybe he would move to LA and solve crimes.
 * Lucifer's mischievous behavior does not differ too much from Gabriel's; as siblings, they're said to have spent much time together, in Heaven, and Lucifer taught Gabriel how to do advanced reality-warping tricks. Their long-term convenience may have influenced Gabriel to act more like his older brethren, too.
 * Lucifer is the first angel in the series to possess another angel in its vessel, instead of another human vessel, by possessing Castiel. The fact that Jimmy Novak no longer resides in his body may be why Lucifer could possess Castiel, as Cass, with his grace, is acting as a proxy for a human soul that must give permission to have its body possessed.
 * Lucifer has been overpowered twice by his vessels: both Sam and Castiel have briefly overpowered his control over them. However, while Sam had full control and could freely move around, Castiel stated he had to use all of his strength just to prevent Lucifer from killing Sam and was clearly struggling.
 * Lucifer is the first archangel who is known to have been banished by the Angel banishing sigil.
 * Lucifer also is the first angel and archangel that has been trapped twice by using the Angel Trap.
 * Lucifer is the second Archangel to realign themselves with good, the first being Gabriel, and Lucifer's also the second Big Bad turned good in Season 11, the first being Metatron.
 * Like Gadreel, Lucifer has shown the ability to share control with his vessel at will. In We Happy Few, Lucifer was able to give control to Castiel like Gadreel who switched control with Sam. After Castiel spoke with the angels, he and Lucifer were able to switch again.
 * In We Happy Few, when Lucifer is expelled from Castiel, he briefly appears in the form of Nick as his true form is yanked out of Castiel.
 * Lucifer is the only Archangel to be the ruler of Heaven and Hell at the same time, albeit briefly.
 * As of deaths of Metatron and Gabriel, Lucifer is the only angel from the core universe confirmed to have wings.
 * During Rock Never Dies, Lucifer used his powers with snaps of his fingers similar to Gabriel and God.
 * In LOTUS, when Lucifer possesses Jefferson Rooney, the effect is similar to the one seen when Castiel first possessed Jimmy Novak in The Rapture.
 * In LOTUS, Lucifer becomes the first named Angel or Archangel to conceive a child in the series.
 * Lucifer is the third angel who is possessing a vessel that has died and been specifically restored for him. The other angels are Anna Milton's human form and Castiel with Jimmy Novak, Anna's human form was restored by an unknown force while God recreated Jimmy Novak's body to act as Castiel's vessel. In Lucifer's case, Crowley's demons found, repaired and improved the body of Nick for Lucifer's use as his permanent vessel.
 * Mark Pellegrino believes Lucifer has developed a snarky sense of humor as a means to hide his own pain, and that his current greatest fear is having his son, Jack, prefer Castiel to him.
 * Lucifer is the second angel that has been a member of the main cast through various actors, and the first archangel, most notably by Misha Collins and Mark Pellegrino in episode counts.
 * With Crowley's death in All Along the Watchtower, Lucifer is currently the longest-lasting antagonist in the series.
 * Season 4 is the only season where Lucifer somewhat appears but is not a major antagonist in that season.
 * Lucifer is the second angel to have been trapped on an alternate earth, with Virgil first being trapped in a different world. However, Lucifer later escapes back to his own world.
 * In the show, God displays very little to almost no concern about Lucifer's destructive intentions and actions. After Lucifer's fall from grace, he spends a very long time on Earth (Mostly in the Garden of Eden) corrupting and tempting humans. He defiles the human bloodline by convincing Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree, he corrupts Lilith's soul into the very first demon (though it is not specified if her corruption was before or after Adam & Eve's manipulation), at some point creates the four Princes of Hell, He has Cain kill Abel, and even then has Cain establish the Knights of Hell. In Earth's time, he was there presumably for decades waiting for more humans to be born so that he could taint them. And even yet being almost all-knowing, God decides to deal with Lucifer only after he commits these atrocities towards mankind.
 * Lucifer was the first Primordial Entity that the Winchesters knowingly encountered since both Gabriel and God hid their true identities from them.
 * As a character, Lucifer has been portrayed by most actors with a total of 13.
 * As seen in Exodus, Lucifer can drive a bus though it is unknown where he got this particular skill. He was also able to help Dean repair the bus, though his job appeared to merely be trying to start the engine when ordered to by Dean.
 * Lucifer is the only archangel to have ever been killed by a human, albeit one powered by a different archangel whom the human was acting as a vessel to.
 * Lucifer is also the only archangel to have been killed twice. In both cases, a version of Michael was involved in both of his deaths.
 * He is the only archangel to be resurrected as Gabriel faked his death in Season 5.
 * He is the third archangel to be permanently killed.
 * He is the second and final Big Bad to be revived by God and re-killed by Michael in Season 15, first being Lilith.
 * According to Mark Pellegrino at Planet Comic-Con 2019, Lucifer is always seen wearing Nick's wedding ring as a reference to Nick's familial backstory. Out-of-universe, it is an homage to Pellegrino's real wife.
 * In the non-canon book "Supernatural: The Men of Letters Bestiary: Winchester Family Edition", it is stated that all Special Children are suitable vessels for Lucifer.
 * Aside from blasting into ash and not leaving behind wing imprints, Lucifer's second death is identical to his first.

In Lore

 * The Devil is known by many names throughout different faiths: Lucifer (Latin for " 'The Morning Star' or 'light bringer'"), The Devil, The Serpent, Iblis, (in Islam) and Satan (Hebrew for "Adversary").
 * In different versions of Bible, they said Satan is formerly known as Samael and was the former commander-in-chief of the angels army before his fall from Heaven. Some versions said he was the older brother of Michael.
 * Although "Lucifer" is considered to be the name of The Devil, this is never explicitly stated in the Bible and is merely the result of various translations. "Lucifer" appears only once in the Hebrew Bible, in Isaiah 14:12. Here, a prophecy about the fall of a corrupt Babylon king is described. Those who believe the fall of the king refers to the Devil's fall from grace began the traditional belief that Lucifer is most certainly Satan and the Devil.

Powers and Abilities
"Lucifer is an archangel, the Devil himself, his power is infinite, immeasurably vast, and unimaginable. It's very, very, very far greater than every angel in all of creation combined. He is literally trillions of times more powerful than every angel combined. There are over 3 billion Angels in all of creation. Lucifer could simply snap his fingers and effortlessly eradicate 3 billion Angels from existence in an instant. Even 3 billion Angels combined is no match for Satan himself. A mass-smiting combined by billions of angels would barely give him a bruise and he would laugh at the attack. He could effortlessly destroy Heaven instantly with a thought. If it wasn't for his brother the archangel Michael, Lucifer would of done it already and he would of already took over the whole universe and ruled it with an iron fist. Lucifer may be almost equal to God himself in power, but Michael is a master strategist who always wins. Lucifer and Michael must have their battle because Michael will defeat the Devil. Sure, it will completely destroy Earth. But that is for the greater good, a great sacrifice, it will be worth it, one planet, 7 billion people have to die so that the entire universe can exist. Michael will rebuild Earth and there will be endless peace at last. Lucifer and Michael must have their battle because if it doesn't happen or if Lucifer wins then nobody can stop him. He will be untouchable, unstoppable and invincible. It will be the end of everything. He will literally end the entire universe, he will first bring unimaginable levels of annihilation to the entirety of existence, he will create and generate infinite darkness, apocalypse's, and destruction on a cosmic scale, and everything and everyone in all of creation will cease to exist. He will absolutely obliterate the entire universe, and everything within it, including heaven and hell. He will either enslave the angel race or obliterate it. After he destroy's the entire universe, he will recreate it in his own image. He will be too powerful to be defeated or stopped, and he will be the new God. The things he will do will be infinite and unspeakably dark. Lucifer has the power to turn entire galaxies to dust in an instant. The power Lucifer has is truly terrifying, limitless, and immeasurable. His power is beyond comprehension. he can unravel the entire universe to an infinite scale with a thought. He is so extraordinarily powerful in a way that you could never even imagine. He is an all-powerful unimaginably destructive primordial force who existed infinitely long before creation and the universe itself. He has infinite power and capable of doing anything he desires, he knows almost everything, and he can be almost everywhere in existence at the same time. He's one of the last beings in all of creation that you want to piss off. Michael is the only player on board strong enough to defeat Satan."

- Zachariah to Sam and Dean WinchesterSympathy for the Devil

"Lucifer is an ancient primordial being of infinite power, infinite destruction, absolute authority, and endless hunger for more power, authority, and destruction. He could take over the entire universe and bring utter annihilation on an infinite scale. I am the highest-ranking regular angel, i'm very powerful, i'm more powerful than any ordinary angel. Compared to Lucifer i'm a gnat, an atom. He could very easily annihilate the entire angel race with a snap his fingers and disintegrate them all instantly. He could snap his fingers and instantly wipe out every living being in all of creation. Zachariah to Sam and Dean WinchesterSympathy for the Devil"

"Lucifer is infinitely powerful in ways that defy description and understanding, he is far more powerful than you could ever possibly imagine. He is among the oldest and most powerful beings in all of existence, almost as powerful as God himself. He can very easily obliterate the entire angel, demon and human races in an instant, with just a snap of his fingers. Think about it, that's over 3 billion angels, 2 billion demons, and 7 billion humans that he could effortlessly destroy with a snap of his fingers, and that's not even close to the tip of the ice berg of his true power that he has. You two insignificant flannel-wearing morons think you can actually beat Satan himself, that's pure suicide, his power level is infinite, limitless and immeasurably vast. He could instantly turn both of you to dust with a mere thought. Hell... Lucifer could destroy literally the entire universe, it may take him awhile to accomplish that, probably about a month, two months tops, but he could do it if he wanted to. Fighting an archangel, the Devil himself is completely suicidal and beyond foolish. Lucifer is all-powerful, immortal, indestructible, virtually invincible and unstoppable. Just about everything his father God himself is, Lucifer is as well. omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, you name it. Satan always wins, if you stand against him he will make you suffer infinitely. There has been many fools that have tried to take on the Devil troughout the untold eons, and he has always destroyed that everyone and everything that has ever stood against him. He is unquestionably the most dangerous being in all of creation and can accomplish unbelievable feats of power that you couldn't even imagine or dream of."

- Zachariah to Dean Winchester

"Lucifer as an archangel, and the Devil himself is much, much more powerful than you could ever imagine. He's an ancient primordial being created long before creation and the universe itself. He's a being of infinite power and endless hunger for more power. He could effortlessly annihilate entire worlds, dimensions, planets, stars, and galaxies with a snap of his fingers. He could literally end all life in the entire universe, he could kill absolutely every single living being in all of existence in an instant. He could instantly obliterate entire civilizations anytime he wants. The demon, angel and human races he could obliterate with a thought if he wanted to. His powers are indescribably vast, unimaginable and limitless. He is the most dangerous being in all of creation. If he put his mind to it, he could utterly destroy the entire universe. Theres nothing he can't do. He could completely obliterate the entire Milky Way Galaxy with a mere thought. You can't kill the Devil, its impossible. He's indestructible, virtually invincible. Humans, Monsters, Demons, Deities, Pagan Gods, and even Angels are atoms, subatomic particles compared to Lucifer. It would take the power of God himself to beat him or kill him."

- Castiel to Sam and Dean WinchesterAbandon All Hope

"My strength may surprise you."

- Lucifer to Sam

"I'm infinitely powerful, dangerous, ruthless... I am an all-powerful walking nuclear weapon. I can destroy literally anyone and anything."

- Lucifer to Dean Winchester and Castiel

As the second archangel, Lucifer is one of the oldest and most powerful beings in the universe, and one of the oldest and most powerful beings in all of existence. Lucifer is described by Zachariah as "powerful in ways that defy description". He is infinitely superior to all Angels, Demons, Reapers, Monsters, Ghosts, Vengeful Spirits, Leviathans, Alphas, Demigods, Nephilims, Deities, Pagan Gods, Chief Gods, as well as all other supernatural creatures. He is even noticeably stronger than the younger Archangels Gabriel and Raphael, with only Michael being his equal in terms of strength, capabilities and powers among his brothers. Lucifer is also more powerful than the cosmic entities Death and The Shadow, and his power is even far greater than the three other Horsemen of the Apocalypse; War, Pestilence, and Famine. At full power he was just as powerful as Michael from the Apocalypse World, but was no match for him when he was in a weakened state. He is no match for God or Amara. As an archangel, Lucifer retains his full power despite his fallen status. The immensity of his power was further shown by how an improper human vessel, Nick, decayed greatly as a result of containing him and had to consume gallons of demon blood to maintain his form. Even when weakened or bound by powerful spells, Lucifer still retains enough power to take effortlessly kill angels and demons alike and corrode through most powerful binding spells if given enough time. Asmodeus, even endowed with near-unlimited power fueled with the youngest archangel Gabriel's grace, showed great fear at the thought of Lucifer regaining his full power, claiming to Arthur Ketch that "we're all dead" if it happened. Lucifer becomes super-charged after stealing his son's grace, allowing him to easily overpower and beat Dean, while empowered by Alternate Michael's full might, whereas Michael in a lesser vessel had previously thrashed him on two separate occasions. In his later fight with the Main Reality Michael, he was able to evade his attacks and knocked him to the ground with an energy blast, though it only incapacitated Michael for a short time. In addition, Lucifer has been so extraordinarily powerful that from at least 600 seals, only 66 seals need to be broken so that the devil can escape from his unbreakable and inescapable cage (an extremely powerful magically-warded cage created and sealed by God himself. The cage is powerful enough to hold any being, including God and the Darkness forever). Listed below are the powers he has demonstrated in the show. "Killing an archangel.. the Devil himself is impossible, it's an extremely stupid, foolish and insane task. It can't be done. The only being in all of existence strong enough to kill Lucifer is God himself."
 * BVZwumD - Imgur.gifNigh-Omnipotence - Being the second oldest archangel, Lucifer is unimaginably powerful, he is close to being absolutely omnipotent, he possesses near-infinite power and has nearly limitless supernatural powers and can do practically anything he desires and can accomplish almost anything with only a couple exceptions. As an archangel, he is nearly completely indestructible, next to invincible, but as he was once the bearer of the Mark of Cain, he was completely invincible and unkillable. He can very easily annihilate even the mightiest of Deities, Pagan Gods, and Chief Gods and even Angels by just snapping his fingers and is immeasurably more powerful than the younger Archangels, Raphael and Gabriel as he proves by easily overpowering and (supposedly) killing Gabriel.  Raphael noted that Lucifer could easily annihilate him, and even believed that Lucifer was powerful enough to easily resurrect angels from the Empty with in an instant with a thought. Castiel noted that Lucifer is powerful enough to instantly exterminate the entire human race from existence, as well as the demon and angel race with a snap of his fingers. Castiel also noted that Lucifer at full-power is even powerful enough to end all life in the entire universe in a matter of a few days. Gabriel noted that Lucifer is even powerful enough to easily obliterate Earth with a snap of his fingers and could even easily destroy heaven and hell. Just as powerful as his older brother, Michael, it has been noted that a fight between them would completely destroy the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and would even annihilate a very large portion of the universe, and ultimately would bring utter destruction to the entire universe from their fight alone, including the multiverse. The Angel Joshua noted that the battle will absolutely end all life in the entire universe and wipe out every single being, planet, star, and galaxy in existence, including the entire angel race. Castiel noted that the fight would last at least a week believes that the fight between Lucifer and Michael would annihilate quintillions of planets, billions of galaxies, and completely destroy almost the entire universe in a just a few days, further, proving the immensity of their unimaginable and unlimited power. The fight between the two highest archangels was noted to last around a week and would be so unimaginably destructive that God himself stated that the fight would be so destructive and powerful that it would even harm him, and annihilate heaven, purgatory, hell, and much of the multiverse, and after battle between the two unimaginably powerful archangels God stated that he would have to recreate the entire universe and everything else in existence. The Shadow stated that it was glad that the battle between them did not happen, he noted that the battle between them would not only awaken him forever, every angel, demon and reaper, but would also severely damage the Empty. While still imprisoned in his damaged cage, he was even able to mentally reach from there to Earth where he caused a large bush to burn and appeared in Sam's dreams and held telepathic communication with Sam. Even while Castiel was powered with over 40 million souls from Purgatory and easily destroyed the third archangel Raphael, he still opted to keep Michael and Lucifer in their cage, and noted that he was still no match for either Lucifer or Michael, further showing the infiniteness of their power. Lucifer has displayed incredible feats of power, such as effortlessly annihilating numerous angels at the same time by snapping his fingers in a weakened state, creating extremely powerful spells, generating apocalyptic storms all over the universe, generating unimaginably powerful earthquakes all over the entire universe and causing the whole universe to violently shake causing immense destruction from it, resurrecting long-deceased humans, creating portals to the multiverse by snapping his fingers, mentally reaching the earth from his cage, and effortlessly annihilating the mightiest of Pagan gods, controlling the flow of time by slowing it down, speeding it up, stopping it, and reversing it, creating entire universe and adding in alternate timelines to the universe with a mere thought, manipulating the universe itself by changing the course history and creating an entire new galaxy with trillions of new planets for him and his son Jack to live in and noted he could limitlessly add in anything to the galaxy and planets. He displayed countless other unbelievable feats of power. Castiel noted that Lucifer is powerful enough to effortlessly annihilate the entire angel race (3 billion angels) in less than a minute. He easily annihilated hundreds of angels at the same time by snapping his fingers, an tremendous feat of power unseen by any other character. Castiel and Zachariah even believed that Lucifer is powerful enough to even destroy the entire universe if he wanted to. Lucifer was even more powerful than the immensely powerful cosmic entities Death and The Shadow. Even Billie as the new incarnation of Death showed to be very fearful of Lucifer, noted that she is nowhere near as powerful as he is even as the new personification of Death and she noted that he could still effortlessly kill her with a snap of his fingers. She also made it very clear to Sam and Dean Winchester that she would trying to fight Lucifer is suicide. She stated to Sam Winchester that next time he dies she will make sure that he stays dead and does not get resurrected, however, she opted stay out of it especially when Lucifer told Sam that he needs him alive that way he can get closer to his son Jack. She feared if she intervened in killing Sam that it would enrage Lucifer enough to come after her, further showing his superiority in power. The only beings in all of existence that are more powerful than Lucifer are only God and Amara.
 * Nigh-Omniscience - As the second oldest Archangel, Lucifer is nearly completely omniscient, he has near-unlimited knowledge of the universe, near-infinite perception, understanding and awareness of whats going on all over the entire universe, he can instantly detect events transpiring throughout nearly everywhere in existence, and knows almost everything, as Sam has said, "I'm sure he knows an infinite buttload we don't". His knowledge, awareness and understanding is much greater than that of his younger brothers but not quite as extensive as Michael's. This includes the knowledge of spellcraft, witchcraft, magic, curses, hexes, voodoo, hoodoo, souls, alternate realities, alternate universes, dimensions, spiritual realms, planets, galaxies, stars, workings of the universe, soul absorption, soul manipulation, the ability to see the past, present, and future, the ability to sense other beings and to see the true form of creatures that cannot be seen by normal means. He even possesses immense knowledge of the Rings of the Horsemen that can be used to open his cage and that Sam and Dean planned to send him back in to it. He also know how to resurrect an angel from The Empty, via Angel Resurrection Ritual. However, while extensive, Lucifer's knowledge and awareness is still limited, as he didn't know how to restore the wings of the angels. His ancient White-Eyed Creation Alastair said to Dean, the devil knows why he could not break John.
 * Nigh-Omnipresence - Lucifer can exist simultaneously in nearly all places at once. He can be almost everywhere in existence at once if he wanted to.
 * Clairsentience - Even when weakened from having most of his grace extracted, he was still able to sense his sons Jack's power.
 * Precognition - Lucifer could see and accurately predict the future, but he could not see the whole picture; he knew he would possess Sam in Detroit and told him the first time he met him.
 * Astral Perception - Lucifer can sense, detect and perceive invisible beings, such as; ghosts, hellhounds, reapers, and horsemen and can instantly sense, detect and perceive the true form of beings invisible to the human eye. Lucifer was able to see the true form of Death when he raised the Horseman out of his prison. He can see the true forms of angels and demons thru their vessels.
 * Localization - As an Archangel, Lucifer is able to instantly track and locate beings anywhere in existence, even if they are warded by spells and Enochian sigils. He can track warded person's location if they pray to him.
 * Soul Channeling/Soul Absorption - Lucifer is able to channel through human souls. He possesses the knowledge to draw power from a human's soul to temporarily boost his own powers.
 * Soul Reading - Lucifer touched Sam's soul to torture him and draw power from it.
 * Soul Manipulation - Lucifer can manipulate the property of souls, and can alter, erase and remove them from any being.
 * Spell Casting - Lucifer was highly proficient and knowledgeable in performing extraordinarily powerful spells. During the Apocalypse, he successfully performed a nearly impossible ritual to free Death from his coffin by killing hundreds of demons and could bind the Horsemen to his presence, with his binding spell being able to control even Death, powerful enough that Death could not break free under his own power and needed Lucifer back in the Cage to be free. Though, Lucifer is more powerful than Death, he wanted t control Death knowing that he would be useful. He was able to ward the Angel Tablet powerfully enough that Heaven, Hell, and even God himself never succeeded in finding it. His overall knowledge of spells is virtually infinite, and also extended in negating them, as he was the only celestial being to ever remove Enochian Sigils that rendered almost any other Angel completely powerless and could easily break free from the incredibly powerful binding spell cast by Rowena even with diminished grace.
 * Angelic Possession - Lucifer is required to use a willing vessel on Earth, like all angels. Because of the immensity of his power, he must use a vessel descended from Cain or Abel, or it will begin to decay and eventually spontaneously combust and even then the vessel needs to be strengthened by drinking a significant volume of demon blood. However, he was able to possess Castiel's vessel for at least a short time without it exploding.
 * Angelic Vessel Possession - Lucifer can possess an angelic vessel which is already in use, as he possessed Castiel in his vessel. To do that, he needed Castiel's permission. Castiel's vessel was able to hold the immense power of an Archangel and the power of a seraph without any visible physical damage. However, the Seraph noted that Lucifer was burning through both him and his vessel over time, and would eventually destroy him and his vessel.

- Castiel to Sam and Dean WinchesterAbandon All Hope


 * Immortality - As the second oldest archangel, Lucifer is absolutely immortal, and has an infinite lifespan. He is God's second creation and already existed infinitely long before the creation of the universe and time itself. He is noted to be more than 500 centillion years old, making him among the oldest beings in all of existence, the only beings older than Lucifer is Michael, Death, God, and The Darkness, also making him the fifth oldest being in all of existence. The excessive passing of time does not degrade his vessel, like with all celestial beings. His vessel is unaffected by time, aging, diseases, viruses, illnesses, infections, poisons, suffocation, strangulation, and toxins. He does not ever tire, and does not require food, water, oxygen, rest, or sleep to sustain himself or his vessel. On one occasion, Castiel clearly says about killing Lucifer, "It's absolutely foolish, it can't be done. He's an archangel, the devil himself, he cannot be killed, Its impossible.", and later calls the task "brainless, suicidal and insane". Castiel also says to Sam and Dean Winchester about killing Lucifer, "The only being in the entirety of existence that could kill the devil is God himself. We can't defeat Lucifer, and we certainly can't kill him. As far as all weapons and objects, only an archangel blade to the heart can kill him, but it has to be wielded and used by an archangel otherwise it would be useless and ineffective against him. Killing the devil is completely impossible. A mass-smiting 3 billion angels in heaven would barely even stun him."
 * Invulnerability - Lucifer and his vessel is nearly completely indestructible, next to invincible, and is impervious to all damage and injury. Kali, the most powerful of the Deities at the gathering of the Pagan gods and among the oldest and most powerful Deities in existence, tried to harm him with a massive and powerful pyrokinetic attack, but it had absolutely no effect and Lucifer simply smiled at her attempt, showing him to be unaffected by extreme temperatures. While Sam and Dean managed to hit him at times during his fight with them in the Cage, he was completely unharmed and even mocked them for their weak attacks. Even after being shot thousands of times by an extremely powerful supernatural machine gun with Angel-Killing Bullets, Lucifer was completely unharmed and it barely moved him back and he simply smiled. Lucifer was completely unhurt when shot in the head by The Colt, an extraordinarily powerful supernatural weapon that can kill any being in all of existence, except for Lucifer and four other unknown beings. Lucifer was completely unhurt when stabbed by angel blades and was also completely unhurt and unfazed when punched over a dozen times by Enochian brass knuckles, and he simply smirked and mocked it for being a "weak and puny weapon" despite it being a very powerful supernatural weapon, which could significantly harm and kill any angel. Lucifer was barely hurt when getting blasted with a Hand of God, the most powerful divine weapon in existence, which is powerful enough to instantly disintegrate absolutely any being in existence, and even powerful enough to temporarily weaken The Darkness and God, the very powerful blast only knocked him down and stunned him for a few seconds, but very quickly recovered. Lucifer was completely unhurt when getting shot millions of times with several .50 caliber machine guns. He was unhurt and unfazed when getting hit by a massive wrecking ball, though it knocked him back numerous feet, he quickly got up and instantly recovered. He was unhurt by a demon bomb, angel swords, miniguns, m60 machine guns, AK-47's, grenade launchers, anti-tank missiles, rocket propelled launchers, and hundreds of pounds of C-4 dynamite explosives. He is completely invulnerable to blunt force trauma, extreme temperatures such as lava, fire, and even the sun. He was unhurt when Crowley telekinetically poured the deadliest type of sulfuric acid on him from a huge bottle with over a gallon inside, and was able to instantly heal his vessel. Lucifer is impervious to almost all supernatural means, and it is completely impossible for him to be harmed by all conventional means. When getting stabbed by several giant angel blades Lucifer showed some pain but quickly recovered. Lucifer Stated that not even every nuclear bomb on Earth combined could even faze him. However, he is still vulnerable to beings of superior power, as displayed when The Darkness was easily able to inflict some harm on him while torturing him and when the alternate Michael fought him he showed some pain, but quickly recovered.
 * Indestructibility - Lucifer is nearly completely indestructible, next to invincible, and is impervious to all injuries and damage and nearly all supernatural means. It is completely impossible for him to be harmed by conventional means, such as guns, knives, bombs, etc. Bullets and knives bounce harmlessly off of his body. Lucifer has very few weaknesses and is almost impossible to kill. Castiel noted that every nuclear bomb on earth combined wouldn't even faze an archangel. There are only three things in all of existence that can harm and kill Lucifer, Only God and the Darkness can harm and kill Lucifer, and an archangel blade (if wielded and used by an archangel) can harm and kill him.
 * Regeneration - If Lucifer's vessel receives any physical damage, the wound will completely heal instantaneously. When shot with the Colt, for example, the bullet hole healed instantly. Interestingly, the ability does not reverse the decay caused to Nick, or other temporary vessels, by Lucifer's power, as he can't heal the damage caused to any vessel that's not Crowley's improved vessel of Nick, or his true vessel Sam due to his immense power and grace. Lucifer was also able to heal Castiel's body of the injuries suffered in their fight. Despite being stated to have been severely weakened by the Darkness' attack on him that expelled him from Castiel, Lucifer quickly recovered from the damage.
 * Immunity - Lucifer is one of only five things in all of existence that the Colt cannot kill. Lucifer is unaffected by natural/supernatural diseases, viruses, poisons, toxins, and illnesses. He is immune to all supernatural infections, such as the croatoan virus. Lucifer was even immune to Metatron's spell which burned all other angels' wings. As an archangel, angel blades were not able to harm or kill Lucifer. When Dean attempted to put upgraded supernatural handcuffs on Lucifer, he burned thru them instantly and destroyed them with ease. Even in a weakened state getting stabbed with a regular angel blade was unable to harm or kill him, which would easily kill a regular angel or seraph instantly. In addition, he was far less affected then normal angels when punched by the Enochian Brass Knuckles. Even getting shot thousands of time by angel-killing bullets did not harm him at all, and he simply smiled at Deans attempt to harm him with it. Lucifer also is immune to angel swords, angel saws, the first blade, demon bombs, holy fire, holy oil, demon blades, enochian sigils, heavens weapons, telepathic attacks, telekinetic attacks, angel traps, angel wards, most angel sigils, hexbags, most magic, most spells, and even immune to Death's Scythe. He also cannot be killed by hands of God.
 * Astral Projection - Lucifer is able to display his full wings in a flash of white light.
 * Chronokinesis - Lucifer possesses the power to travel backwards and forwards in time, no matter how far into the future or past. He noted he could send himself or anyone as far back as before the creation of the Universe or trillions of years into the future, with him keeping this power even after the Fall. As an Archangel, Lucifer's time-traveling powers are infinitely more refined than all Angels, as he was able to very easily send Dean back to 1943 to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant and later return him to the present, all without needing to physically be there with him. He can also easily stop, slow down, reverse, or speed-up the flow of time as well.
 * Conversion - Lucifer created the race of demons by twisting and torturing human souls. Because of this he could manipulate their nature to his whim anyway he wants.
 * Power Augmentation - Lucifer's presence on Earth greatly enhanced the powers of Jesse Turner, and the closer Lucifer got to him the more powerful Jesse became, though he became incredibly powerful, he would never become nowhere near as powerful as Lucifer himself. It was noted by the powerful angel Castiel that Jesse was already far more powerful than all demons and angels, though, would never become as powerful as Lucifer. Castiel also noted that once Lucifer simply touched Jesse on the forehead that it would immeasurably enhance his already-immense powers and he would become powerful enough to easily destroy the entire Host of Heaven with a mere thought and would become powerful enough to exterminate the entire human race with a single word. However, this feat was never tested.
 * Power Granting - Lucifer gave the Princes of Hell, White-eyed Demons, and Knights of Hell their incredible powers when he created them.
 * Exorcism - With just a snap of his fingers, Lucifer was able to effortlessly exorcise a demon back to Hell.
 * Lucifer Vs Michael.gifEnergy Blasts - Lucifer demonstrated the ability to produce very powerful bolts of dim bluish light from his hands. These large blasts carry considerable force, as one was able to stagger Alternate Michael, despite the gap between their powers. During a battle with the Main Universe Michael, one of Lucifer's energy blasts knocked the other archangel to the ground with great force causing him to be briefly knocked unconscious, but he quickly recovered. Michael subsequently admitted to being a little hurt as he had not fought such a battle in centuries.
 * Elemental Control - Lucifer can control the weather, temperature, air, electrical fields and the elements themselves to an unlimited degree, enough to cause natural disasters and catastrophic storms, either willingly or simply due to his mere presence.
 * Terrakinesis - Lucifer can control the earth to an unlimited degree. He can generate extremely powerful earthquakes through his mere presence all over earth; he was able to cause them at a colossal range, creating hundreds all over the whole world while he was in America. When he was released from Hell he caused all of earth to violently shake and caused them to be so destructive where hundreds of entire cities all over the whole world were either obliterated and severely damaged. Dean stated that, "Europe, Asia, and South America is in a total disarray, hundreds of cities worldwide are annihilated, and half of the entire world is going crazy over these apocalyptic earthquakes". Lucifer can even create, control and generate extremely powerful earthquakes all over the whole universe at will.
 * Thermokinesis - Lucifer can control and alter temperatures to a drastic degree at will. His presence alone in Detroit caused incredible drops in temperature and he froze a pane of glass by merely breathing on it. While bound by Supernatural Handcuffs, Lucifer heated them up to the point that they popped off his wrist. He later melted a pair of the handcuffs after revealing that they weren't really binding him.
 * Electrokinesis - Lucifer can create, control, manipulate and generate electricity to an unlimited degree, he can cause a global blackout and can electrocute other beings either by touching them or snapping his fingers, and cause them either extreme pain or can electrocute them to death. He can also generate bolts of electricity and launch them at a target and cause them to instantly be killed or severely damaged. When arriving at the Elysian Fields Hotel, Lucifer caused the lights to flicker. He was also able to turn off a fire alarm and turn on music with a snap of his fingers at a concert for Vince Vincente.
 * Pyrokinesis - Lucifer can manipulate, control and generate fire to an unlimited degree. He was able to set a large bush on fire from the Cage. After Betty opened Chuck's Death Book, Lucifer was able to burn her to ash despite Betty being the new Death and with no visible effect other than Betty turning to ash. Lucifer is powerful enough to snap of his fingers and cause entire cities, countries, planets, stars, galaxies and even universes to be completely annihilated by setting it ablaze. He can generate physical and spiritual fire causing another being to be destroyed inside and out. Lucifer can create, shape, control, generate and manipulate every form/type of fire, the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products, flame being the visible portion of the fire. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different. He can also completely control the temperature of the fire at will. Lucifer can summon enormously powerful flames at will and use them offensively like a flamethrower and can effortlessly incinerate almost any being by either placing his hand on them or snapping his fingers, or even with a thought. He noted he can make entire planets, stars and galaxies burst into flames and completely obliterate it at will with a thought.
 * Weather Manipulation - When Lucifer was released, he altered the weather by creating severe winds and causing hurricanes, floods, tsunami's, typhoons, cyclones, thunderstorms, wildfires, rainstorms, blizzards, hailstorms, and tornadoes across the world. He made the entire city of Detroit's temperature drastically drop simply through his presence. Lucifer can control, generate, create and manipulate the weather to an unlimited degree.
 * Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant - Being the second oldest Archangel, Lucifer is a phenomenally accomplished and supreme fighter, with infinite eons worth of fighting experience and thorough combat training. He was able to effortlessly slaughter a large group of Pagan Gods without sustaining any injuries. He also effortlessly beat Dean to submission twice, even once when Dean was armed by a machine gun, at which Lucifer soundly disarmed and pummeled him. Even while confined in his cage, he effortlessly overwhelmed Sam, Dean and Castiel, disarming the latter with great ease. He briefly held his own against the Alternate Michael despite being far inferior to him but was ultimately quickly defeated. Even while weakened due to his Grace depletion, Lucifer was still able to overwhelm and force Castiel to flee, although he got wounded in the process.
 * Flight - As an archangel, Lucifer can fly, hover, and levitate at will weather he's in a vessel or not. Lucifer can also fly and levitate in midair as evidenced by his fight with an archangel empowered Dean Winchester, both flying back from attacks and charging back. Lucifer even remained levitating after Dean fatally stabbed him with an archangel blade. Lucifer can fly infinitely faster than the speed of light. It is noted by Castiel that Lucifer can fly 93 billion light-years in a literal picosecond. As an archangel, Lucifer can fly incalculably faster than Angels.
 * Healing - Lucifer was able to instantly heal physical injuries and restore people to optimal physical health, notably doing so heal his vessel's sister of her paralysis. He was also able to heal himself in said vessel from being doused with acid by Crowley. He later heals Anael's neck wound after removing part of her grace. When he resurrected Sam, Lucifer healed the neck wound and massive blood loss that killed him. However his healing capabilities are not strong enough to completely counter the damage inflicted to his lesser vessels.
 * Holy White Light - Lucifer can create, generate and manipulate holy energy, and can blast almost anything and anyone into oblivion with immense holy energy, from either absolutely obliterating or damaging anyone or anything. Lucifer can create and generate such extremely powerful holy energy enough to easily obliterate entire towns, cities, states, countries, continents, spiritual realms, dimensions, planets, stars, and galaxies, and even universes. He once captured Castiel by disabling him with a light burst of holy white light.
 * Heat Breath - Lucifer is able to generate and manipulate heat within him in a way that allows him to shape the exhaling of the effect. These shapes can include bursts, streams, spheres, lasers, and even a mist of it from the mouth.
 * Fire Breath - Lucifer can generate and manipulate fire within him in a way that allows him to shape the exhaling of the effect. These shapes can include bursts, blasts, streams, beams, spits, spheres, lasers, and even a mist of it from the mouth.
 * Wind Breath - Lucifer is able to generate and manipulate air/wind within them in a way that allows them to shape the exhaling of the effect. These shapes can include bursts, streams, spheres, even a mist of it from the mouth.
 * Incineration Touch - Lucifer can utilize high temperatures to instantly incinerate almost anything and anyone simply by touching them, reducing it or them to ashes. He can control what part of the target they want to incinerate, and destroy the target so completely that absolutely no byproduct is left, not even ashes.
 * Biokinesis - Lucifer can manipulate the biological aspects of a creature, which he normally uses to inflict harm on his victims, such as to break bones, cause severe pain, cancer, illnesses, diseases, viruses, infections, and severely damage organs. He was able to kill a Secret Service agent by inducing a massive cerebral hemorrhage. He also used this ability to cause pain to the Winchesters on more than one occasion.
 * LucifersTelekinesis .gif.|link=Special:FilePath/LucifersTelekinesis_.gif]]Molecular Combustion - Lucifer can instantly kill beings by rendering them down to their molecules as he did Castiel, Nithael and Jofiel. He was also able to use this power to make the chief Hindu God Ganesh explode. He also used this power to turn two demons to dust. In the alternate universe, Lucifer was capable of combusting multiple angels at the same time, a feat unseen by any other character so far. In his weakened state, he no longer possesses this power. However, as of Bring 'em Back Alive, Lucifer is once again able to use this power, at least on humans, as he was able to turn two priests to dust at the same time with a snap of his fingers. He would eventually regain the power to use this on angels, as with a snap of his fingers, he turned multiple angels of the Apocalypse World to dust. Lucifer claimed that he can use this power on the entire human, demon and angel races at the same time and make them all explode at once with a snap of his fingers. Za
 * Disintegration - Lucifer can cause supernatural beings, such as angels, demons, monsters, ghosts, alphas, reapers, leviathans, demigods, deities, pagan gods, and nearly all other supernatural creatures (whether organic or inorganic material) to lose cohesion in various means. He can make matter fall apart into dust, wipe away his target on a molecular/sub-molecular level or even revert matter into pure energy. Regardless of the means, the target is reduced to either molecular/sub-molecular dust or energy but not absolutely annihilated.
 * Explosive Inducement - Lucifer can cause an explosion in a variety of ways and of any scale, with varying effects ranging from stunning to total annihilation.
 * Pain Inducement - Lucifer can cause varying levels of unimaginable pain, including physical, mental, spiritual, and/or emotional, to their targets using supernatural means.
 * Concussive Force Projection - Lucifer can deliver impact of concussive force, whether directly or remotely, which can knock his target back and cause vast internal and external damage. He can achieve this either by direct physical force, solid matter, pulse of energy or any other way that causes damage by collision.
 * Shockwave Generation - Lucifer can produce extremely powerful shockwaves via various means, including mental or physical action such as punching, clapping, stomping, flicking, snapping, etc.
 * Fire Generation - Lucifer is able to generate and project fire to an unlimited degree. He can create, generate and project fire with at will and can set anything and anyone ablaze. He can project, generate and control fire to either damaging something to completely annihilating it.
 * Power Erasure - Lucifer can eliminate/remove the supernatural powers of other supernatural beings, so they won't have access to them.
 * Shockwave Clap - Lucifer can produce extremely powerful shockwaves by clapping his hands with such power, it could cause entire cities, states, countries, continents, and even planets to be severely damaged or destroyed.
 * Power Negation - Lucifer can prevent supernatural creatures from using their powers, as he negated the powers of the chief Pagan gods Baldur and Kali, as they were unable to teleport either themselves or the Winchesters when he arrived at the hotel where they were conferring.
 * Reality Warping - Lucifer can manipulate, alter and bend the very fabric of reality to an unlimited degree. He reminded Gabriel that he taught him everything he knew about using this power, when the latter tried to use it to kill him, meaning he is at least his younger brother's equal in this field, if not superior. While in Limbo, he was able to make a song play out of nowhere with a simple snap of his fingers. When he first emerged from his cage, demons started to dream for the first time since they were human. He was also able to prevent his clothes from burning when set on fire by Kali.
 * Resurrection - Lucifer can effortlessly bring deceased individuals back to life instantly no matter how long they have been dead. He was able to resurrect Sam Winchester after vampires ripped out Sam's throat despite not being at full power at the time. He can bring deceased beings back to life at great health and can instantly resurrect any being even if they have been reduced to ashes. He once resurrected multiple humans that have been deceased for centuries. Lucifer later resurrected Maggie at Jack's request. It's been claimed that Lucifer can resurrect angels and demons from the Empty.
 * Shapeshifting - Lucifer can change his shape into any being he wants. While in his cage, he appeared as Nick to anyone who visited him and while being exorcised from Castiel, his essence briefly distorted into a likeness similar to Nick's.
 * Smiting - Like all angels, Lucifer possessed the power to smite beings, but as an Archangel, his smiting is far more potent. He once threatened Crowley that he can effortlessly smite him in an instant. He once effortlessly smote thousands of demons at the same time from the distance with a thought..
 * Sonic Scream - Lucifer possesses such very powerful vocal cords that in a fit of rage, he was capable of shouting so loud that it violently shook the entire Men of Letters' Bunker, made the Winchesters cover their ears in unbearable pain, and caused the Seraph Castiel to feel pain and discomfort.
 * Matter Manipulation - Lucifer can can shape and manipulate matter, i.e. anything in the universe that has substance and mass/physical form, starting from molecules and atoms, to planets and other astronomical features.
 * Energy Manipulation - Lucifer can create, shape and manipulate all feasible and imaginable forms of energy, having practically no limits on the amount or type of energy they can absorb, project or manipulate.
 * Force Field Manipulation - Lucifer can create, shape, and manipulate force-fields, a field of energy without mass capable of simulating matter and act as a barrier or wall, so that objects affected by the particular force relating to the field are unable to pass through the field and reach the other side.
 * Super Senses - Lucifer's senses is enhanced to an infinite scale, allowing him to see, smell, hear and otherwise limitlessly sense almost everything in existence, including conceptual forces and even immaterial beings/entities. He can hear, see, smell, detect and sense almost everything that goes on in the universe. They can do more than just hear see, smell, detect and sense everything that goes on, they can even hear, see, and smell the thoughts of anyone and everyone (not to be confused with Telepathy) as well as being able to bypass time itself and hear the past and future. His sense of smell, sight and hearing is glaringly, obviously and super/unnaturally more acute than other beings in their universe because their capabilities are pushed to a superhuman level. Allowing them to smell anything over any distance, including space, as well as being able to smell individual molecules/atoms.
 * Super Reflexes - Lucifer possesses limitless reflexes, being able to react to everything there is, no matter how fast it comes. He can react at any speed and change actions on the fly at faster-than-blinding speeds.
 * Super Speed - Lucifer possess a level of speed at a maximum and limitless level, transcending the logical limits and boundaries of speed as a concept. He is beyond and qualitatively superior to all concepts of speed and the dimensions of time and space and are capable of performing movement beyond infinite dimensions of time due to transcending the very concepts of movement itself. Lucifer can fly 93 billion light-years away within a picosecond. He can fly, move and run at full speed centillions of times faster than the speed of light, and can move backwards and forwards thru time, and other dimensions instantly, and can move so fast he is invisible to the naked eye and can stop time itself. He can fly an orbit in a yoctosecond. Lucifer can break light-speed in a vacuum of space and can run fast enough to break through the fabric of the space-time continuum, enabling him to travel forward or back in time to monitor or alter past and future events. He was angered and upon breaking out of Rowena's hold, he was able to easily choke her before she could react and instantly drag her into a wall.
 * Super Stamina - Being an archangel, Lucifer has unlimited stamina, he never tires, and never requiring sleep, food, water, oxygen, and rest to sustain himself or his vessel. He can do anything for a absolute unlimited amount of time and never would tire. He does not ever need to urinate or defecate, and does not ever need to eat, drink, breathe, rest, or sleep to sustain his being or his vessel.
 * Super Strength - As the second most powerful archangel, Lucifer can empower his vessels with unlimited physical strength, his strength is virtually incalculable and limitless, and can lift, carry and exert more than trillions of tons of mass and force such as entire planets with ease, and he can generate massive shock-waves with his mighty blows, and his unimaginable physical strength infinitely surpasses that of almost all supernatural beings such as all angels, demons, ghosts, vengeful spirits, monsters, leviathans, alphas, deities, demigods, pagan gods, and even his younger Archangel brothers Raphael and Gabriel. Lucifer can effortlessly hurl large objects, cars, trucks, tanks, houses, and buildings great distances, shatter concrete, breakthrough thick metal walls and doors, and shatter several feet of reinforced steel doors with great ease, effortlessly overpower angels, monsters, demons, ghosts, and pagan gods. However, he is just as strong as his older brother Michael and is somewhat weaker than Alternate Michael. His incalculable physical strength allows him to effortlessly lift enemies off their feet with one hand, throw them across very large distances with great force, very easily break thru reinforced steel doors or walls, and even tear through their flesh without effort. He once threw a demon into orbit with great ease, effortlessly lifted a massive bulldozer over his head and threw it miles away with great speed and force, and easily destroyed a bridge with a single punch causing it to completely obliterate. When fighting Alternate Michael, the strength of his punches caused an effect similar to that of a thunderclap. Even when weakened due to improper vessels, binding spells and a depleted grace, Lucifer still retained more than enough strength to kill or beat down most supernatural creatures on several occasions. He is physically one of the strongest beings in all of existence.
 * Telekinesis - Lucifer is an infinitely powerful telekinetic, able to limitlessly move objects and beings around with his mind with great ease. He uses both elaborate hand gestures and snaps of his fingers similar to Gabriel. While weakened by having most of his grace extracted, Lucifer still possessed this power and could use it when he was particularly angry to overpower demons and even Castiel, although Castiel was off-guard at the time. Later on, he was able to easily hold off a gigantic horde of thousands of vampires and no visible hand gestures. After killing Betty, he used this power to pull Chuck's Death Book to himself and to overpower Sam and Dean. He was able to telekinetically snap other beings necks without effort.
 * Mind Control - Lucifer can make almost any being think or do something involuntarily by thought or command. Her can control and influence the actions, behaviors, emotions, thoughts, and memories of humans and other beings.
 * Telepathy - Lucifer can read and feel/sense the thoughts and memories of any being. Lucifer had complete access to Sam's and Castiel's memories, feelings, emotions, and thoughts while he possessed them. While in his cage, he gave Sam visions of the cage and manifested himself as a young John in one of Sam's dreams. Lucifer was capable of holding telepathic conversations with Dagon even while restrained by Crowley's chains. While communicating this way, Lucifer's scream was able to cause Dagon great pain.
 * Empathy - Lucifer could read and feel/sense the emotions of his vessel and any being.
 * Dream Walking - Lucifer has the ability to enter a person's dreams at will. Even without a human vessel, Lucifer was able to speak with Nick in his dreams while taking on the appearance of his deceased wife. He demonstrated this again when he spoke to Sam in his dreams while taking on the appearance of Jessica Moore. He was also able to show Sam his memories and entered Rowena's dreams while he was in his cage.
 * Mental Projection - Despite being trapped in the cage in the deepest part of Hell, Lucifer was still powerful enough where he could still communicate to beings on Earth, as he did with Azazel, though Azazel had to sacrifice several nuns for this to be achieved. He later used this to torment and communicate with Nick to get his permission to possess him, appearing in the form of his wife. After the Cage was damaged by the release of Amara, he was able to project visions into Sam's mind to draw him to the Cage. Lucifer was able to project an image of Vince Vincente's dead lover before Vince to trick him into giving Lucifer permission to use him as a vessel and cause Vince to experience hallucinations.
 * Pathokinesis - Lucifer can alter the feelings/emotions any being. He was able to cause Sam to feel calm.
 * Teleportation - As an archangel, Lucifer can travel absolutely anywhere in the entire universe and anywhere else in existence instantly without occupying the space in between, except he can teleport into the Men of Letters Bunker on lockdown with enochian spells, a feat unseen by any being. He can even teleport to any alternate universes anywhere in the multiverse. And when imprisoned in his cage, he cannot leave unless it is opened by an outside force. He has proven to be quite proficient with this ability, as he was able to dodge Michael and his energy blast by teleporting rapidly.
 * LuciferApporting.gif and Dean into the cage|link=Special:FilePath/LuciferApporting.gif]]Apporting - Likewise, Lucifer can bring others to him, as he was able to apport Sam into the inside of The Cage and later Dean and Castiel too. Even when weakened from having most of his grace extracted, he was able to apport Anael with him away from the Demon Bomb launched at him by Ketch. Later on, he apported Betty into the Men of Letters bunker.
 * Master Torturer - Lucifer is one of the foremost experts in torture, both physical, mental, and spiritual. He tortured Lilith's spirit to the point where he turned her into the original demon and from there, did the same to countless other humans to create his demon armies. His torture methods were so extreme and profound that the memories of it would haunt his victims years after the fact and in some cases, such as Sam's, caused extreme hallucinations, mental shock and could have potentially killed him.
 * Invisibility - Lucifer can render himself, objects, and anything or anyone he wants invisible at will.
 * Intangibility - In his true form or vessel, Lucifer can pass through physical matter unfazed.
 * Voice Mimicry - Lucifer can perfectly imitate any beings voices. Lucifer was able to imitate Castiel's voice when he called Dean to open the door to Men of Letters bunker.
 * Perception Alteration - Lucifer can control, alter or induce effects up other being's perceptions. He tortured Sam's soul, tainting it with harsh recollection of the situation.
 * Hallucination Projection - Lucifer can create, manipulate and alter hallucinations. He used tis ability on Nick to convince Nick to say "yes" to possession. He did the same again to Vince Vincente causing him to see blood running out of the sink and the lights flickering on and off, and seeing the sight of his long-deceased wife.
 * Anger-Induced Empowerment - A unique trait to Lucifer. When angered, Lucifer's strength and abilities become temporarily stronger. This was shown when he was very weakened from his depleted grace, he was able to break free from very powerful binding and power negating spells that were previously keeping him restrained on two separate occasions.

Grace-Enhanced Abilities
"Lucifer as you know was already unimaginably powerful, and had the power to do almost anything he desired. After consuming the nephilim's grace, Lucifer's limitlessly juiced up... He's limitlessly super-charged... His power is beyond infinite. His powers are endless and limitless. He's beyond omnipotent, he's now more powerful than God himself. He is powerful enough to literally destroy God [...] Hell, he could completely destroy the entire universe instantly if he put his mind to it. He's unstoppable, far too powerful to be defeated or stopped. He's now omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. Not even God himself can stop him. This is the end of everything."

- Alternate Michael to Dean

"I'm not just very powerful now. I am power. I'm infinite power"

- Lucifer to Dean Winchester

"I'm going to end all life in all of existence and utterly destroy the entire universe, and remake it all in my image. Literally everything God created, i will unravel, obliterate and remake however i want, far better than God ever dreamt of. I'm thinking fire-breathing dragons, sassy-talking robots, sexy mermaids, golden cities, centaurs, hippogriffs, infinite candy lands with rainbows, golden castles, wish granting genies, and flying unicorns. I might give humanity another chance, but i'm going to eradicate them then remake them, and make it where they all worship me, because iv'e earned that. Every single living being, creature, angel, demon, reaper, monster, ghost, the so-called Pagan Gods, the gooey little leviathans, and every other creature in existence i'm going to completely annihilate and erase. Every single planet, star, galaxy, alternate universe, dimension, and entirely everything else in all of existence i will utterly obliterate and erase... and i am going to erase heaven, hell, purgatory, and the Empty from existence, and also remake them in my image. I am going to have so much fun annihilating and erasing literally everything and everyone, then recreating anything i want. It might take me just a little while to annihilate, erase, and remake the entire universe and the entire multiverse. I'm thinking 7, 10 days tops, and nothing, no one will be able to stop me. I'll be a far better God than God ever was. The last thing i intend to do is kill God and that bitch auntie Amara."

- Lucifer to Sam WinchesterLet the Good Times Roll


 * Omnipotence - Lucifer was already unimaginably powerful, had near-infinite power, and could do almost anything he desired. But after stealing his son's grace, Lucifer became immeasurably more powerful to the point of nearly killing Dean and Alternate Michael without much effort. At this point, he could do anything he desires and was said to be able to completely destroy and remake the entire universe and multiverse in a matter of a few days. He noted he is now absolutely omnipotent.
 * Omniscience - Lucifer was already nigh-omniscient, and had near-infinite knowledge, understanding and awareness of nearly everything in the entire universe, he could instantly detect events transpiring everywhere in existence, and knew almost everything, but after stealing his sons grace, he became absolutely omniscient, and knew everything. He noted that he now all-seeing, all-hearing, and all-knowing.
 * Omnipresence - Lucifer was already nigh-omnipresence, and could be almost everywhere in the whole universe at once if he desired. But after stealing his sons grace, he became absolutely omnipresent, and was able to be everywhere in all of existence at the same time.
 * Enhanced Smiting - At the climax of their fight, Lucifer attempted to smite both Dean and Alternate Michael, though he was killed before he could finish it.
 * Enhanced Invulnerability - After becoming super-charged, Lucifer's invulnerability has increased greatly, to the point that Dean's Michael-powered blows, while capable of making him stagger, could not inflict any harm whereas previously Michael's blows in a lesser vessel could easily hurt him in the past.
 * Enhanced Super Strength - When empowered by his son's grace, his strength was increased to them point where he managed to easily overpower and pummel Dean who was possessed and empowered by Alternate Michael's full might.
 * Enhanced Reality Warping - Also with his son's grace, Lucifer's capability to alter the fabric of reality became greatly enhanced, as he said he was able to annihilate and recreate the entire universe in a matter of days.
 * Enhanced Conjuration - Lucifer said he'd create beings far better than God could.

Weaknesses
Even though Lucifer is tremendously powerful and nearly impossible to kill, and despite being the second oldest archangel in creation, he has weaknesses of his own.

Harming, Misleading and Trapping

 * Lucifer's Cage - This cell can hold Lucifer, without any internal means of escape, as it was designed to bind Lucifer's power. Lucifer has also shown immense fear of the Cage, with Alternate Michael discovering that it is his greatest fear, and Lucifer himself stating that it was 'awful'.
 * Extremely Powerful Magic - Though Lucifer is immune to almost all forms of magic and spells, he could be briefly restrained, banished, paralyzed and deteriorated by spells.
 * Very Weak Vessels - As Lucifer said, a vessel besides Sam limits his powers. In a weak vessel like Vince Vincente, Lucifer's endurance, immunity, strength and powers are greatly reduced, to the point that Crowley was able to telekinetically fling him across the room, Castiel was able to hold on his own against him, and Sam could counter his telekinetic pull for a considerable amount of time with just his raw strength.
 * Low Grace - Like any other angel, Lucifer can be reduced, but unlike other angels he can't have his grace removed, which would render him almost mortal. Removal of most of his grace leaves him significantly weakened. After the alternate Michael removed a good deal of his grace, simply flashing his eyes red briefly left Lucifer exhausted and he could not counter Asmodeus. When enraged, Lucifer's powers are stronger allowing him to use his telekinesis and break the warding around his and Castiel's cells. However, fighting multiple demons immediately afterwards with Castiel's help was enough to exhaust him. He is now more vulnerable to angel blades as a result as well. After being very weakened in this manner, Lucifer began displaying more human characteristics such as requiring food, oxygen, water, rest, sleep, and feeling emotions and the cold. In his extreme weakened state, Lucifer was shown to be vulnerable to the Prince of Hell Asmodeus, as well as the Seraph Castiel, who was able to harm him with an angel blade.
 * Archangels - Lucifer can be harmed by his closest siblings. While he is immeasurably more powerful than Gabriel and Raphael, they are still capable of harming him, as shown by how Gabriel telekinetically threw him away. Michael, being older, is strong enough to overpower and kill him. Alternate Michael, known for being an even stronger Archangel than the main Michael, was able to easily defeat and restrain him. Later on, a single energy blast from this Michael was sufficient to render him unable to fight and cause him to bleed. Even while super-charged, Lucifer was still affected by physical blows from Dean harnessing the Alternate Michael's full power. During his battle with the Main Universe Michael, Lucifer opted to avoid Michael's attacks by teleporting away instead of taking it head-on and catching him off-guard before knocking him down to the ground with an energy blast. However, Michael was ultimately able to kill Lucifer, albeit with the help of an archangel blade and the element of surprise.

Beings

 * Higher Primordial Entities - God and Amara are the only beings in all of existence that can kill Lucifer. God was described as being capable of defeating Lucifer with little effort that the Earth wouldn't have to be destroyed in process and could easily negate Lucifer's powers without him even noticing. Amara could easily defeat Lucifer and severely torture him as well as exorcise him with ease.

Weapons

 * Archangel Blades - An archangel's blade is the only weapon in all of existence that can kill Lucifer, however, it must be wielded and used by an archangel, otherwise it would be useless and ineffective. Even when supercharged with his son's grace and with the power to unravel, destroy and remake the entire universe, Lucifer still remained vulnerable to an archangel blade as he remained an archangel, albeit supercharged. While powered by the Apocalypse World Michael whom he was acting as a vessel to, Dean was able to use an archangel blade to kill Lucifer. Later, Michael was able to kill his resurrected brother using an archangel blade.
