Archangels are the most powerful and high-ranking angels in the celestial hierarchy in Supernatural. Castiel describes them as "Heaven's most terrifying weapon".
Out of all the angels of heaven, only four of them (according to Anna Milton) have seen God's face. It is implied that these four are four archangels:
An archangel (Raphael) protects Chuck Shurley the prophet - it appears only as a thunderous sound and a blinding white light.
Castiel described archangels as being far more powerful than a Trickster, which makes them extremely powerful and very dangerous.
Archangels have incredible powers compared to other creatures. Raphael when he returned to heaven created a massive ball of pure white, holy energy that destroyed all the demons in the vicinity and destroyed the gas station. Gabriel showed the powers to create practically anything, even pocket universes! He can create time loops while singling out Sam as the only one aware of it and alter reality. Lucifer and Michael can reputedly destroy the entire earth if they chose to.
- Archangels can incinerate a lesser angel just by touching them, as seen when Michael destroys Anna.
- Archangels are far more powerful than Tricksters, at least according to Cass.
- Archangels seem to negatively affect the entire area around them when they land.
When Castiel and Dean captured Raphael, Dean jokingly asked, "Is that the best you can do? Black out a house?" to which Raphael replied, "And all of the Eastern Seaboard!"
When Lucifer enters the world from Hell he brings massive earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, diseases (including swine flu) and probably more. When Lucifer appears in 5.04 The End a storm erupts and when he teleports behind Dean there is the sound of thunder.
