History
Origin
Gods are the ruling divine beings of a religion. The major deity featured in Supernatural is that of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) who is referred to as God.
Gods are the deities which are represented in Supernatural in which their origins are separate from other Gods depending on the particular type of deity. Due to the as of yet unknown nature of the God of, it is difficult to make exact comparisons of their role and overall abilities.
Kali describes her disgust for Westerners by accusing them of butchery and right to leadership in their own God's name. She also states that she and the other Gods were on Earth before God, or that their religions were practiced before his. Odin stated that the "real" Apocalypse will start when Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr rises up and Odin himself will be consumed by a big wolf. Although he was killed by Lucifer.
While Gods are often thought of as immortal, in Supernatural even the Gods can be killed.
- Sam and Dean kill the Pagan Gods disguised as Madge and Edward Carrigan, Sam kills the Leshii and Dean kills Zao Shen and Veritas
- Lucifer kills Baldur, Ganesh and Odin
- Death declares that one day he will kill God
Throughout the Supernatural series, there have been many Gods encountered in the Supernatural Universe include:
- The Vanir (Pagan)
- Trickster/Loki (Pagan)
- Madge and Edward Carrigan (Pagan)

- Odin (Norse)
- Baldur (Norse)
- Mercury (Greek)
- Zao Shen (Chinese)

Powers and Abilities
Their powers and abilities vary greatly depending on the type of deity.
Demi-Gods or Tricksters can create virtually anything out of thin air. The only known way to harm or kill one is to stab them with a wooden stake which has been dipped in blood of one of their own victims.
Gods like Baldur, Ganesh, Odin and Zao Shen seem to all possess powers and abilities that are quite similar to each others, like: Superhuman Strength and are all able to assume human form.
However Gods like Kali, Mercury and Leshii all possess unique powers that most other Gods don't possess (Kali, Fire Generation), (Mercury, Superhuman Speed) (Leshii, Shapeshifting).
