User blog comment:ImperiexSeed/Gabriel vs Raphael?/@comment-1509826-20120407211112

I thought it, Raphael then Gabriel, I mean I know Gabriel showed the more power, but the way I see it, Gabriel has spent untold thousands of years on earth, pretending to be a trickster, using his powers, zapping things into non existance, having fun ect.

While raphael has spent all this time, sitting at his desk, propaply signing the major documents and dirrecting the development, as the man under management, as such the only time he would have used his powers, is when he had to "Fire" a employ, which wouldn't have required that much effort.

As such I think its more likely that Raphael is more powerful, its just he has not had so much time or need to practise his abbilities, so he isn't as sure at using them as Gabriel is. After all, in the supernatural universe, the older you are, the stronger you are, the oldest, God and Death are the most powerful, the youngest, man are the weakest.

Granted there are the occasional exception, but that is generally how it works.
