10 Most Powerful Supernatural Characters
6. Lucifer
There are not many characters who could stand toe to toe with the literal Devil.
Arguably the most frightening villain in Supernatural back in Season 5, Lucifer is seen as the embodiment of evil and corruption, an Archangel who fell from grace and swore revenge on his father and creator. His presence early on in the show caused natural disasters and filled the characters and the audience with dread, for Lucifer was classy and cunning and more powerful than anything Sam or Dean had fought thus far.
Sadly, when he reappeared in Season 11, he was treated as nothing more than an annoyance - but what did you expect? By that point, the Winchesters had taken on more deadly foes and witnessed far more destruction.
However, we’ll always have that sweet spot back in Season 5, with Lucifer coming across as an understandable and reasonable character, pushing Jared Padalecki to his acting limits and raising the bar on what Supernatural villains should strive to be.
Lucifer’s the father of demons, including the beloved Crowley, and that alone shows how powerful and dangerous this character is.
