Just because Raphael didn't show any feats doesn't mean he's weaker. Lucifer never demonstrated reality warping like Gabriele, but he said to Gabe that he learned all his tricks from him(lucifer). It's an established fact that he and Raph are older than Gabriele. Remember, Raphael blacked out the entire eastern seaboard when he arrived. That says alot.
