And Gabriel's name means God is my strength, which really doesn't reflect/depict his actual strength.

Even still, Gabriel delivered so many important messages from God. He even foretold The Christ's birth, which is a real honor.

I feel as though it he could accomplish what Gabriel did, he would've used it. I can see why he didn't when beating up Cas, cause he wanted to take his time, he wanted his little brother to suffer.
