!!!Portrayed by: Christian Keyes, [[spoiler:Creator/JensenAckles]], Felisha Terrell, [[spoiler:Ruth Connell]]

* EvilCounterpart: To the main reality's Michael, who was a WellIntentionedExtremist and a WellDoneSonGuy, rather than an genocidal BloodKnight.

* EvilVersusOblivion: [[spoiler: As AxCrazy as he is, it's revealed that, in a sick and twisted way, he wants and believes that he's purging all realities of sin, and DOESN'T want the destruction of all creation. At least not until he's found and killed his Father, God.]]

* {{Sadist}}: He's a lot crueller than our Michael, who [[TheStoic took no joy]] in bringing about the Apocalypse. He notably tells Dean he's taking his time killing him because he's enjoying it, and that the moment when the soul finally leaves the body on death is "beautiful".

* VillainHasAPoint: He tells Castiel that after seeing inside Dean's head he believes God didn't care about his world or any of the others he created, seeing them as failed drafts to be abandoned once they failed to achieve perfection. Castiel dismisses him - [[spoiler:but it turns out at the end of the season he essentially had it right, and that God has only ever cared about the story of the Winchesters all along.]]

** When our Michael finally returns, Castiel shows him his memories in an effort to convince him that [[spoiler:God is actually evil - and it's his memories of this Michael's actions (and realisation he wasn't even the only Michael) that finally cause him to turn on his Father.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of Season 14, having killed Lucifer in the Season 13 finale and taken Dean as his vessel. Michael plans on enhancing the monsters with his Grace and use them to cause destruction to the world to spite God. Even after his death, all the bad things that happen afterwards including Jack losing his soul, going hostile, and attracting God's attention which would lead to His true nature being revealed, are directly because of Michael's actions]].

* BigBadEnsemble: Is one of the two main villains of Season 13, along with Lucifer. Between the two he is the greater threat due to his plan to invade the main Universe and his sheer power. However, since he spends most of his time in the Apocalypse World it's up to Lucifer [[TheHeavy to carry most of the season.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of season 14, having killed Lucifer in the Season 13 finale and taken Dean as his vessel. Michael plans on enhancing the monsters with his Grace and use them to cause destruction to the world to spite God. Even after his death, all the bad things that happen afterwards including Jack losing his soul, going hostile, and attracting God's attention which would lead to His true nature being revealed, are directly because of Michael's actions]].

* DiscOneFinalBoss: Most of season 14 deals with the Winchesters' attempts to both stop his plans and later [[spoiler:contain him within Dean]], with everyone expressing great dread of what happens when he gets out. [[spoiler:Then Jack kills him when he does, and in the final episode of the season the final villain, and the BigBad of Season 15, turns out to be God himself.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: Is one of the two main villains of Season 13, along with Lucifer. Between the
two he is the greater threat due to his plan to invade the main Universe and his sheer power. However, since he spends most of his time in the Apocalypse World it's up to Lucifer [[TheHeavy to carry most of the season.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of season 14, having killed Lucifer in the Season 13 finale and taken Dean as his vessel. Subverted in that he's killed a few episodes before the season's end to set up the true BigBad - God himself.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: Is one of the three main antagonists of Season 13, along with Asmodeus and Lucifer. Between the three he is the greatest threat due to his plan to invade the main Universe and his sheer power. However, since he spends most of his time in the Apocalypse World it's up to Asmodeus and Lucifer [[TheHeavy to carry most of the season.]]

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The original Michael is this compared to him. While he's still evil, he at least was still driven by genuine devotion to a divine plan that was set in motion by God and regretted having to kill his own brother. This version of Michael actually gloats about his past victory over Lucifer, and decided to bring about hell on Earth rather than paradise.

* KilledOffForReal: Season 15's "Galaxy Brain" has [[spoiler:OmnicidalManiac Chuck destroy all realities aside from the main one - including, resumably, this one]].

* DisappearedDad: A big part of why he's so much worse than the Michael we saw in season 5. Like him, this Michael dutifully saw out his part in the Apocalypse and killed his brother Lucifer in hopes that God would finally return. But he didn't, even when the angels turned Earth into a wasteland and hunted humans almost to extinction, leading Michael to conclude ([[spoiler:rightly]]) that God had abandoned their universe entirely. After possessing Dean he believes that each alternate universe is a failed draft of God's that didn't pan out for whatever reason, and that he's going to destroy each one until he catches up to his Father - and then he'll find out if God can die...

* BadassGrandpa: Leads a colony of humans, and is pretty old.

* BadBoss: Has absolutely no qualms with threatening the lives of his soldiers if he thinks it will get them to work more productively. For example, our Michael gave his Zachariah multiple chances to succeed in his plans, to the point where even Zachariah himself was surprised at [[YouHaveFailedMe not being immolated for failure]]. AU Michael, by contrast, loses patience with Zachariah's MindRape tactics on Jack incredibly quickly and warns him not to fail again.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of season 14, having killed Lucifer in the Season 13 finale and taken Dean as his vessel.]]

* VillainousLegacy:

* VillainousLegacy: His MotiveRant to Castiel and Sam when he's their prisoner resonates, and when God returns he's visibly thrown when Sam asks him if any of it was true. [[spoiler:Once God seems a little too eager for Dean to kill Jack, this leads Sam to put the pieces together and realise that God is the GreaterScopeVillain who's been making their lives a misery from the start]].

* InvincibleVillain: The most powerful archangel ever seen in the series - Lucifer even says he's stronger than our Michael - he's nigh-unstoppable, especially once he [[spoiler:takes Dean as his perfect vessel]]. It eventually takes Jack tapping into his full power - and burning away his soul in the process - to kill him.]]

* BadassInANiceSuit: [[spoiler:When possessing Dean in the final moments of Season 13]].

* BigBad: Is the sole remaining threat to the heroes as of "Exodus", with [[spoiler: Asmodeus]] having been fried to death, and Lucifer being more of a VillainProtagonist for his storyline. [[spoiler:He becomes the main villain in Season 14, having killed Lucifer in the Season 13 finale and taken Dean as his vessel.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: Is one of the three main antagonists of Season 13 along with Asmodeus and Lucifer. Between the three he is the greatest threat due to his plan to invade the main Universe and his sheer power. However, since he spends most of his time trapped in Apocalypse World it's up to Asmodeus and Lucifer [[TheHeavy to carry most of the season.]]
* BloodKnight: Has a sick, sadistic smile on his face when killing [[spoiler: Gabriel]].

* CainAndAbel: Not only did he tear apart his version of Lucifer in a battle in the skies, but he later [[spoiler:kills his other brother Gabriel.]]

* DiscOneFinalBoss: Most of season 14 deals with the Winchesters' attempts to both stop his plans and later [[spoiler:contain him within Dean]], with everyone expressing great dread of what happens when he gets out. [[spoiler:Then Jack easily kills him when he does, and Nick becomes a scheming SerialKiller. Jack kills Nick, loses control of his powers and is manipulated by Duma into lashing out in anger and resentment, but in the final episode of the season, the final villain, and the BigBad of Season 15, turns out to be God himself.]]
* TheDreaded: Naturally, as the strongest angel in the universe, everyone has had their own OhCrap moment when they meet him. The only people seen so far who could match him are Jack ([[ThePowerOfHate when he is really pissed off]]) and Lucifer (after he absorbs Jack's power), after all. Everyone else is beneath him. Case in point: when Anael (a low-ranking angel) realizes who he is, she ''immediately'' makes a run for it.

** He may have turned his reality's Earth into a hellhole where humans are hunted to near-extinction, but [[spoiler: he doesn't desire the end of ''everything'' like Lucifer (fuelled by Jack's grace and sheer spite of his father's creations) does, consequently allying his power with Dean to kill the Devil. May count as PragmaticVillainy given that he immediately reneges on his deal with Dean and comes out of it with his main rival dead and with the perfect vessel to further his goals. It's later revealed that he was just lying; Michael himself plans on wreaking havoc across the multiverse before he can finally kill God and replace him.]]

* EvilVersusOblivion: [[spoiler: As AxCrazy as he is, it's revealed that, in a sick and twisted way, he wants and believes that he's purging all realities of sin, and DOESN'T want the destruction of all creation.]]

* InvincibleVillain: As befitting of the strongest archangel in the series Michael constantly manages to curb stomp every enemy he encounters - even Lucifer is no match for him, with Michael having killed ''both'' versions of the Devil he's encountered. The only person who could conceivably stand a chance against him is Jack once his powers are strong enough. [[spoiler:By the end of Season 13, he has gained his perfect vessel in Dean and Jack's grace has been siphoned away by Lucifer. [[FromBadToWorse It only gets worse in Season 14]]. While the heroes hold hope that they can fight him with two weapons that can hurt him (Kaia's spear and the British Men of Letters' hyperbolic pulse generator), Michael destroys ''them'' as well, before revealing the BatmanGambit he did so he can possess Dean permanently. Events finally turn when the team manage to trap him inside Dean's mind, but it eventually takes Jack tapping into his full power - and burning away his soul in the process - to kill him once he does escape Dean.]]

* CassandraTruth: He tells Castiel that after seeing inside Dean's head he believes God didn't care about his world or any of the others he created, seeing them as failed drafts to be abandoned once they failed to achieve perfection. Castiel dismisses him - [[spoiler:but it turns out at the end of the season he essentially had it right, and that God has only ever cared about the story of the Winchesters all along.]]

Events finally turn when the team manage to trap him inside Dean's mind, but it's stated that if Dean doesn't find an alternative way, Michael will eventually break free.]]

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: As of "Nihilism", [[spoiler:he's trapped inside a locked room buried in Dean Winchester's mind, although it's indicated that it's only a matter of time until he'll break free.]]
* StrawNihilist: Michael states that he fought and killed his version of Lucifer in the hopes that God would return. When he didn't, Michael concluded that God didn't care about any of the worlds he had created, and resolved to destroy everything until he could get revenge on God by killing him.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: In "Nihilism", Michael reveals the reason why he is so bent on destroying worlds: he is frustrated believing that God never cares about the worlds he created, so he would destroy them out of spite before ultimately killing the Big Guy, becoming "more God than God".
