Michael is the most powerful archangel, and possibly other than God himself, he may be the second most powerful being in the universe. He along with Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael is one of the four angels who has seen God personally. He is God's Lieutenant and commander of the heavenly host , he is the one who personally banished Lucifer out of Heaven during the last war and possibly the only one that can defeat him again. Michael's vessel was said to be Dean, but Dean refused to allow Michael to posses him. Dean's refusal angered Zachariah. One could assume that Michael is getting very impatient; Dean has yet to say "yes" to Michael. Without Michael or God, Lucifer will rule the world as he see's fit.

Dean from 2014 told his other self that he wished that he said yes to Michael. Dean from 2014 also mentioned that the angels decided to leave and that they gave up, leaving Castiel powerless and he became mortal.

Known powers

Currently this is unknown, but it could be assumed that he is the strongest angel under God's command. his powers almost definitely exceed those of Lucifer, ergo he will be virtually omnipotent (all powerful) and omniscient (all knowing). he is often seen as the second most powerful being in creation, second only to God. Michael's true form would almost definitely kill any human. As an archangel Michael possess holy white light. His holy white light would probably kill anything that got in his way.
