User blog comment:A.J AL/Where does Death fit in?/@comment-34326521-20160527075523/@comment-89.135.17.49-20160527102811

But Death said specifically, the neither he, nor God remembers who is the older of the two. That implies that he wasn't God's creation... and the fact he claimed, that he will reap God also implies this. He was said to be eternal, yet Dean killed him in the previous season final.

Of course he could be the antithesis of life and creation, but why does he have powers rivaling archangels and God? (You know, eclipse thing among others.) In fact God could be the only one in his league, since he claimed to be able to take out Castiel in his overpowered-godlike state... and he was pretty much above Micheal and Lucifer in terms of power back then. (Not even Lucifer could kill Gabriel the same way, although I don't want to start arguing about that.)

...and where the Hell did Death learn anything about darkness, or the war to imprison her?
