Michael was the first and oldest of the four Archangels created by God, making him the very first angel ever created, as well as one of the oldest and most powerful beings in the universe. During the War In Heaven in the distant past, Michael banished Lucifer from Heaven on God's command, later restricting him to a Cage bound by 66 Seals. He was the Viceroy of Heaven in God's absence and commanded the Heavenly Host before he fell into the Cage with Lucifer. As the highest-ranking Archangel, he issued the commands, which went to the higher-ranking angels to disperse the orders down across the angelic chain.
On Earth, he appeared using John Winchester as a vessel to interact with Dean Winchester. There, Michael informs him that anyone in the Winchester bloodline is capable of being his vessel, even though he mentions that Dean is his one true vessel. He eventually occupies Adam Milligan's body while confronting Lucifer, who was using Sam as a vessel. When he falls into the Cage, Heaven loses stability and it results in a civil war between Raphael and Castiel, among other angels.
An alternate version of Michael exists on an apocalyptic Earth, where he won against Lucifer in the Apocalypse. Following the alternate Michael's death at the hands of the Nephilim Jack, this Michael is the only known archangel left alive in both universes.
Michael was trapped in the Cage with Adam by Sam and was supposedly driven mad during his time with Lucifer. However, when God decided to end the world, he opened every door in Hell, including the door to the Cage, giving Michael the opportunity to leave. Though he initially didn't take the chance, Michael eventually escaped. Now sharing control with Adam, Michael was left disillusioned by his father's betrayals and provided the Winchesters and Castiel with the means to trap God, though he refused to help them any further.
Early life
Michael was one of the four archangels created by God eons ago, before the Darkness's imprisonment. Michael, Lucifer and Gabriel all directly described Michael as being older than Lucifer and therefore the first archangel (one such example was when Michael and Lucifer were addressing each-other), whilst the Darkness and Lucifer in later years made two separate suggestions that Lucifer might have been the first archangel. It's unknown if this makes Michael older than the Leviathans, who are said to have existed "long before" angels. In order to enable Creation to come about, Michael and his three brothers fought alongside their father in a war to imprison the Darkness, who was disruptive to God's efforts. The archangels were responsible for weakening their aunt by attacking her with their combined power, which enabled God to just barely lock her away by creating the Mark of Cain on Lucifer. Michael stated to Dean Winchester that he "practically raised" Lucifer, taking care of him "in a way most people could never understand", and implying that it was very similar to how Dean dutifully obeyed his frequently-absent father while taking care of Sam. Michael also mentioned that he and his family were happy and together, until the dawn of humankind sparked Lucifer's rebellion after the latter refused God's command that the angels bow to and love humanity more than God. As Lucifer's rebelliousness continued due to his jealousy of God's love for humans, he went to Michael asking the latter to stand with him, but Michael refused and, according to Lucifer,"called [him] a freak, a monster." Michael was also responsible for casting Lucifer into Hell on God's orders.
Rule over Heaven
After Lucifer's imprisonment in the Cage and God's later departure from Heaven, the remaining archangels (presumably Michael and Raphael, as Gabriel had gone into hiding during Lucifer's rebellion) took over command of the angels, keeping the majority of their brethren and likely the universe at large in the dark about God's departure. According to Metatron, the archangels initially wailed ceaselessly, wanting their father back, but then they began to scheme, deciding that if they couldn't have their father then they'd take over the universe for themselves. Unable to achieve this with their own power alone, they ordered Naomi to "debrief" Metatron (namely, extracts the secrets God had entrusted to him from his head), but Metatron was a step ahead of them, and fled into hiding on Earth to prevent that from happening Michael believed that the Apocalypse was destined to happen, and that the battle between him and Lucifer was fated to end with him killing Lucifer. He also expected it to lead to God's return and the ushering of Paradise. When demons such as Azazel and Ruby were moving to see the 66 Seals broken so as to free Lucifer from the Cage and begin the Apocalypse, Michael and other high-level angels such as Raphael and Zachariah wanted the Apocalypse to occur so that the written end in which they bring Paradise could come about. To this end, Michael and Lilith were effectively in league, although their endgames differed. Lesser angels such as Castiel and Uriel were not made privy to their superiors' true intentions until it would be too late to stop the Devil's release, so as to avoid a full-scale rebellion. To this end, the "grunt" angels were deployed to make it look as though the Host of Heaven were fighting to prevent the 66 seals being broken. Those angels that did learn of the upper echelons' true plans were brainwashed into cooperating.
Season 2
During some investigations, Sam notices a painting of Michael casting Lucifer down by the Renaissance painter Raphael in the church he and Dean are investigating.
Like most angels, when without a vessel; Michael manifests on Earth as a blinding, pure-white light large enough to encompass a small building, whilst his true voice is perceived as a high-pitched ringing noise. Michael's natural form is so intense that humans perceiving it is not only damaging to their eyes and ears but is also fatal. Vessels strong enough to contain him such as Adam Milligan are the apparent exception, able to look at his natural form safely. Inside a vessel, Michael like several other angels (including his Apocalypse World counterpart) can cause his vessel's eyes to briefly change, gaining a bright-blue colour with dots of white light in the centre - this happens when he's aggravated, or when he's switching control with his vessel.
After returning to Earth from Lucifer's Cage, Michael appears to have adopted the form of his vessel Adam as his preferred appearance, analogous to how Lucifer often used Nick's appearance even while not possessing him. When communicating with Adam while Adam is in control of their shared body, Michael manifests in Adam's perception as a physical duplicate of Adam, rather than taking another shape as Gadreel did when communicating with one of his vessels.
Michael is a rather complicated being, having many sides of his personality. He is a strong but strict leader, having set up a rigid and sturdy hierarchy in Heaven, along with strict rules and harsh punishments; likewise, his rule was described as by Castiel as "corrupt", albeit stable. Despite this, he kept his brethren in the dark on many important matters, including God's leaving, and punished any who displayed disobedience with death.
To his father God, however, Michael is fanatically loyal and blindly follows God's orders without question, as sees himself as a "good son", and that is what matters most to him. He loves his father dearly and, despite having not seen him in thousands of years, never lost his faith or his love for him (one of the many qualities that Michael and his one true vessel Dean Winchester both share). Due to his zealous trust in his father's commands, Michael doesn't believe in free will, not even for himself, believing everything that occurs is how his father planned it. In order to help bring God back, Michael went so far as to work with Lilith to bring on the Apocalypse as believed it to be God's will.. When he met God for the first time in over a millennia, he was happy to meet his father again and stated it was his destiny to serve him after he was thanked for betraying the Winchesters and his own nephew in the process.
According to Lucifer, when he puts his mind to something he'll do it no matter how many have to die. This goes along with his intent to let the Apocalypse proceed to fight his brother as his father commanded and bring paradise. He also shares this trait with his counterpart.
He also professes his love for Lucifer, his younger brother, and admits to Dean that he doesn't want to kill Lucifer any more than Dean would want to kill Sam, but accepts he must do it due to his father's orders and the actions of his younger brother. His love for Lucifer is proven true, as seen before the fight where he acts in a polite and genuinely saddened manner, and when Lucifer proposes they "walk off the chessboard," Michael seriously considers it for a moment before ultimately refusing. Despite loving his younger brother, Michael holds great anger for Lucifer, calling him a "monster" and blaming him for all their problems, pointing out they were once "happy together" but Lucifer ruined everything by "betraying them, betraying all of us" and "making [their] father leave". It remains unknown how good his relationship was with Gabriel and Raphael, although considering Raphael was his second-in-command and proved to be loyal to his cause to kill Lucifer and bring paradise along with still attempting to free him so he and Lucifer could fight even after the Apocalypse was averted, it was obvious they were on good terms but his relationship with Gabriel could be strained considering Gabriel left Heaven and was resentful of Michael's devotion to kill Lucifer, although notably Michael never ordered Gabriel to be hunted down and killed, indicating he was willing to tolerate Gabriel as long as he remained neutral. Nevertheless, Michael expressed genuine sadness when he referred to the deaths of his archangel brothers and did not exclude any of them, even Lucifer or Gabriel, showing despite everything they did, Michael deep down never lost his brotherly love for them. However, Michael retained his feelings of anger and resentment at Lucifer even after his death, as he literately spat on the fact that the Winchesters released Lucifer while he was left on the Cage unable to stop him and when Castiel calls Lucifer the smarter of the two archangels because he at least knew that God can't be trusted, Michael is instantly provoked into attacking his younger brother, having previously kept his composure despite his obvious anger and disbelief over the Winchester's and Castiel's claims. After Lucifer's resurrection, Michael is distrusting of his brother from the moment he sees him, even reacting in disbelief that the Winchesters may trust him. When Lucifer revealed he was actually working with God, and was the new favorite, Michael's anger was shown in full force as he didn't hesitate to attack his brother, and killed him for the second and final time with the Archangel Blade, showing no remorse as he did so.
Michael also seems to think of himself as magnanimous when he promises to leave Dean intact after having him as a vessel and erasing the memories of his parents of Anna's attack in The Song Remains the Same. He was also shown to be a relatively forgiving person, as he forgave Uriel and Zachariah, even after Zachariah's constant failures, along with indicating a willingness to consider showing Castiel mercy despite having insulted him and helped send him to Hell, implying that despite being strict or even cruel with them, he does not enjoy killing his own kind.
However, Michael could be wrathful, particularly with anyone who interferes with his destiny, including Dean at Stull Cemetery (although this could also be a case of restraint as he just tells Dean he isn't part of this and tells him to leave as opposed to killing or forcing him) and again with Lucifer when Lucifer suggests they refuse to fight. He also kills Anna Milton when she tries to interfere with his plan. It is this insistence on fulfilling his story as written that leads him into imprisonment in the Cage, because he pleaded with Sam, who had recently regained control of his body from Lucifer, that "i have to fight my brother", then grabbed hold of Sam's arm as Sam went tumbling down into the Cage, going down with him. After Lilith annoyed him, Michael obliterated the demon when she refused to leave him alone. When faced with Castiel's utter lack of respect over how he led Heaven, Michael displayed his pride by remaining completely unfazed, as if he saw his much younger sibling's insult as proof of his lack of understanding of the necessity and efficiency of his methods.
As the very first angel ever created, Michael was the oldest, strongest, and most powerful angel under God's command, making Michael among the oldest and most powerful supernatural beings to exist in Creation. Being the highest in Heaven's hierarchy, Michael had immense powers. Castiel described him as one of the few beings that were stronger than Lucifer. Castiel even mentioned that in comparison to Raphael, Michael was much more powerful. Even when Castiel was empowered with 40 million souls and being able to effortlessly destroy Raphael, he opted to keep both Lucifer and Michael in the Cage. Only a few beings are known to predate and are capable of overpowering Michael. As an archangel, Michael had many powers. Below are listed all of the powers that Michael has displayed.
•Lower Tier Nigh-Omnipotence - As the oldest Archangel and the first angel in general that God ever created, Michael had a tremendously vast supply of supernatural power, making him the most powerful celestial being that God created. Other angels, even some of the most powerful angels fear Michael's capabilities and powers. Noted to be far superior to the younger Archangels, such as Raphael, with Castiel describing the amount of damage hosting Michael could do to Dean as being beyond that Raphael's vessel sustained, he was even ultimately more powerful than Lucifer, having defeated him during the First Heavenly Civil War and then locked him inside the Cage, with all angels being convinced that Michael would eventually kill Lucifer had they fought, it has also been noted that had Michael fought Lucifer, the impact of their battle would destroy much of Earth. When they later fought, Lucifer opted to avoid Michael's attacks instead of taking him head-on and catching him off-guard before knocking him down to the ground with an energy blast, noting that Michael had become "rusty". He could effortlessly kill and banish lesser angels at whim, as shown by how with a single touch, Michael easily burned Anna, a powerful angel, from the inside out to death and sent Uriel back to Heaven with a snap of his fingers. By placing two fingers on Sam's forehead, Michael brought him back to life while also, at the same time, healed his wounds and sent him back to the future all at once. He was also capable of creating a weapon called the Lance of Michael that could kill demons and angels, including Archangels, as evidenced with Lucifer. In addition, he could effortlessly obliterate Lilith, the first demon, just by flashing his eyes and erase the minds of those watching with just a snap of his fingers and a command to forget. Michael was able to open a twelve-hour rift to Purgatory with yet another finger snap, which not even Raphael could do without a powerful spell. Even when powered by 30-40 million souls, Castiel still felt the need to keep Michael in the cage further showing the immensity of his powers. The only known beings more powerful than Michael are God, Jack, Death, and the Darkness.
•Angelic Possession - Michael required a vessel to act on Earth, and he must have the vessel's permission. His power could only be contained by someone descended from Cain and Abel. Dean Winchester was his true vessel.
•Chronokinesis - Michael, as an Archangel, had advanced chronokinetic powers, being able to easily travel back in time to the past to stop Anna from killing Sam and Dean and back as well as return Sam and Dean to the present with just a single finger tap.
•Biokinesis - Michael said he was going to leave John in better condition than he found him.
•Healing - Michael could easily heal others of any injury, wound and disease. Michael healed the young John Winchester from the extensive injuries he sustained after having been punched through a window by Anna. He also "fixed" Sam from the injuries he obtained from having a pipe launched through his stomach. He even went as far as to say that he could simply undo the massive damage Dean would have sustained had he became his vessel.
Harming, Misleading and Trapping
•Enochian sigils - Even Michael couldn't locate someone if they were warded by Enochian sigils. •Holy Fire - Holy fire couldn't kill Michael, but it could damage his vessel momentarily. Holy fire caused Michael quite a great deal of pain. Following his escape from Hell, the Winchesters and Castiel were able to trap Michael in a ring of holy fire for long enough to put the Supernatural Handcuffs on him. It is unknown how long the holy fire could've held him without Michael being otherwise restrained. •Lucifer's Cage - This cell can hold any angel, including Michael, without any internal means of escape. •Supernatural Handcuffs - Having been upgraded by Bobby Singer to hold Michael's Apocalypse World counterpart, the cuffs were capable of restraining Michael. Despite this, he retained some of his Super Strength even in the cuffs, easily overpowering the weaker Castiel and he was able to make the bunker shake when distressed. In addition, Michael, with just a snap of his fingers, opened a rift to Purgatory while the cuffs were still on. However, Michael could not remove the cuffs on his own and had to ask Dean to take them off. •Ma'lak Box - Capable of trapping even the most powerful archangel for eternity.
•Michael and Castiel - Michael's relationship with his rebellious brother Castiel.
•Michael and Dean Winchester - Michael's relationship with his true vessel, Dean Winchester.
•Michael and God - Michael's relationship with his father, God.
•Michael and Lucifer - Michael's relationship with his younger brother Lucifer.
