User blog:FTWinchester/Power Scale Musings

Remember when there were a lot of disputes about the Power Scale in Supernatural? Conflicting canon sources, or the lack thereof often led to such disputes. However, like I mentioned before, the power scale may not at all be linear. So, not to start another war, but only to illustrate how complex a power scale could get, I made a graph about the different creatures of Supernatural and how they fare against each other.

This is only a work in progress and only roughly covers everything, but as I said, my main point is to illustrate how difficult it is to plot each creature or being's strength.



So here's how it works:
 * The Maroon line or the horizontal axis shows the physical capabilities including, but are not limited to:
 * speed
 * strength
 * regeneration
 * heightened senses
 * As a creature moves to the right, the more powerful it is in terms of physical strength
 * The Tan line or the vertical axis represents magical capabilities including, but are not limited to:
 * psychic powers
 * elemental powers
 * reality warping
 * warding
 * negation of powers
 * spell casting and binding
 * As a creature moves upward, the more powerful it is in terms of magical strength
 * A creature whose name is enlarged or stretched means its power varies depending on the individual, or depending on its opponent
 * Outliers are not yet included. Creatures or beings of unknown or disputed powers are dealt accordingly (Lilith vs. Azazel - grouped together as high-tier demons instead of individually against each other), (Archangels and Leviathans - no canon proof, albeit Archangels are superior in terms of magical abilities, physical abilities are depicted as tied by default), (God, whose status against Death is controversial, is not included), (Godstiel/Soulstiel is depicted to be overlapping with the Archangels as it is disputed if he is more powerful than Lucifer or Michael).
 * Winchesters are obviously above everything else here, that’s common knowledge.
