Raphael was present in 4.22 Lucifer Rising, although he wasn't using a Vessel which rendered him invisible to the human eye.
- Because Raphael is an archangel, he is far more powerful than Tricksters.
- Raphael's angelic spirit can cause an entire City to experience a black-out.
- Raphael can emit Holy Energy from his body. Raphael first demonstrates this power in 5.03 Free To Be You And Me. Raphael decides to come to Earth in order to deal with a skirmish demon related problem. He leveled an entire gas station by emitting an angelic ball of pure white energy. This holy energy emerge from the exterior of Raphael's vessel (the human he is possessing) which caused a blast wave that completely obliterated all the demons at the gas-station.
- Raphael's telekinetic power far surpasses the telekinetic power of all lower-level angels. With a mere thought, Raphael can shatter windows, doors, and objects - This was proven in 5.03 Free To Be You And Me. And in 4.22 Lucifer Rising he destroyed Castiel by making him explode into many pieces, according to Chuck who witnessed Castiel's destruction. He can cause small tremors. He does this with such magnitude that the ground beneath him shakes.
Raphael The Archangel
Raphael is an archangel. He the younger brother of Michael and Lucifer, and the older brother of Gabriel. Donnie Finnerman is the Vessel for Raphael. Raphael was the archangel who killed Castiel at the end of Season 4.5.03 Free To Be You And Me. It is uncertain as to whether Raphael was the archangel who was also protecting the Prophet Chuck Shurley, but he found and destroyed Castiel while in Chuck's presence. Raphael stated that he could bring Dean to Michael.
- Castiel believed that Raphael knew the location of God.
- Rapahel was first referenced in Season Two. Father Reynolds while administering Last Rites to Father Gregory's spirit: "I call upon the archangel Raphael, master of the air, to make open the way. Let the fire of the Holy Spirit now descend, that this being might be awakened to the world beyond." 2.13 Houses of the Holy
5.03 Free To Be You And Me
Raphael possesses his Vessel, Donnie Finnerman, during a skirmish with demons at a gas station called Pump 'n Go in Maine.
The Vessel, Donnie Finnerman, was left in a catatonic state after he returned to Heaven. However, Castiel is able to summon Raphael using an Enochian invocation, to interrogate him as to where God is, while trapping him behind a wall of holy flame (made by igniting some Holy Oil that Castiel obtained from Jerusalem).
Raphael tells Dean and Castiel that God is dead, and that the heavenly hosts are tired of waiting and want to bring forth paradise on Earth. Castiel did not believe Raphael and questioned who was it then who resurrected him after he was destroyed by Raphael. Raphael asked Castiel has he considered that it could be Lucifer. After all, Lucifer needed all the rebellious angels that he could get his hands on. Raphael tells Dean that he has more of an imagination than Zachariah - This implies that Raphael is a more experienced interrogator/torturer.
Castiel and Dean then leaves Raphael, but was warned not to leave him in that state. Raphael threatened to hunt down Castiel, to which he replied "Maybe one day. But today, you're my little bitch!".
