->''"The father has wings, the mother is a primate, and this child has a human soul mixed with angelic grace"''

The {{Nephilim}} are the offspring of humans and angels who possessed human vessels at the time of the conception. They inherit both their angelic parent's grace and human parent's soul. Merely conceiving a Nephilim has been one of oldest restrictions in the celestial law and is considered an ultimate act of transgression any angel can do, because angels are not supposed to have emotions, let alone urges of procreation. They are thus considered an abomination for most angels and hunters, so for this reason, any Nephilim that are conceived are disposed of immediately, alongside their angelic parent, the moment they are discovered.

Jane is a waitress at a restaurant in Ojai, California. She is also the only {{Nephilim}} on Earth. It is not explained how she came to exist, and which of her parents is an angel. She has some supernatural powers greater than an ordinary angel.

[[folder: Nephilim in Supernatural]]
!Nephilim in Series/{{Supernatural}}

->''"The father has wings, the mother is a primate, and this child has a human soul mixed with angelic grace"''

The {{Nephilim}} are the offspring of humans and angels who possessed human vessels at the time of the conception. They inherit both their angelic parent's grace and human parent's soul. Merely conceiving a Nephilim has been one of oldest restrictions in the celestial law and is considered an ultimate act of transgression any angel can do, because angels are not supposed to have emotions, let alone urges of procreation. They are thus considered an abomination for most angels and hunters, so for this reason, any Nephilim that are conceived are disposed of immediately, alongside their angelic parent, the moment they are discovered.

* AuraVision: They are able to recognize angelic halos and thus identify angels easily. By contrast, most angels can't identify a Nephilim's heritage and must be told manually, possibly because they are indistinguishable from humans if not displaying their power.
* DeathByChildbirth: The mothers of Nephilim always die after giving birth to them.
* EyeLightsOut: Their glowing eyes fade and return to human eyes when they are killed, instead of the typical angel ThroatLight.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Though compared to angels, their eyes are much dimmer, to indicate that they're not fully divine. Their colors also vary; Jane's eyes are silver, while [[spoiler: Jack's are gold.]]
* HybridPower: They are physically stronger than lower-ranking angels and even a higher-ranked one, as shown when Jane is able to toss around Metatron and Castiel by herself. Justified in that angels are able to draw great power from the souls of their vessels, while Nephilim are born ''with'' souls; they basically have a permanent source of supercharge.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: They are considered abominations by the angels (especially Metatron), as angels producing offspring with humans is forbidden.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-human and half-angel.
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Possibly the case as while it's not explicitly said most characters treat Nephilim as having a mortal mother and an angelic father (as with the case of [[spoiler: Lucifer's son]]).
* KryptoniteFactor: Able to be killed by an angel blade. [[spoiler: Children of archangels, however, have no such weakness.]]
* MalignedMixedMarriage: Creating a Nephilim will result in its and its angelic parent's immediate death sentences, as per the celestial law.
* MysticalPregnancy: Nephilim only have to spend 5 months in their mothers' wombs before being delivered to this world.
* SemiDivine: Nephilim are beings who inherit a human soul and an angelic grace. They have powers greater than an angel and at the same time are capable of blending in with humans, as they age normally.
* SuperStrength: Able to hold their own against two angels and stronger then a seraph (though the seraph in question, Castiel, was still recovering from being near fatally wounded and weaker than normal).

[[spoiler: While possessing the current President of the United States, Lucifer impregnates his secret lover, Kelly Kline, with a Nephilim. Kelly chooses to keep the baby, whom she names Jack, until its birth, despite every indication that Jack will grow to be a menace due to having an archangel father.]]

However, in the ''Supernatural'' universe, Antichrists are the children of demons (as shown by Jesse Turner from season 5). Jack is simply "Lucifer's son".]]
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: Even before he is born, most angels are in fear of what he would have become if he does get born, as a Nephilim's power is measured by how strong their angelic parent is, and Jack is fathered by Lucifer.]]

* ChildrenAreInnocent: [[spoiler: Sam hesitates in capturing Jack to kill him, since he's only a baby (appearance aside).]]
* DemonicPossession: Does this to [[spoiler:an angel]], no less.
* FetusTerrible: [[spoiler: Most angels are in no way tired of stressing the fact that he is an abomination and they will do anything to dispose of him before he is born into this world. He is shown to be capable of possessing angels though, so this may have some truth.]]
* GooGooGodlike: Showed signs of his incredible power from even before he was born, managing to completely destroy [[spoiler:a Prince of Hell]] from the womb, and he will only get StrongerWithAge - to the point that it is said that he [[spoiler:will eventually surpass ''Lucifer''.]]
* HealingHands: [[spoiler: Resurrects Kelly when she attempts a BathSuicide. Kelly says this is proof that he is not the abomination he is made out to be, while Dagon dismisses it as just wanting to protect his receptacle.]]
* InTheBlood: The question of whether he will turn out evil like his villainous parent is a major plot point in Season 12. Bitter, jaded Dean thinks so and the [[WouldHurtAChild only reason]] Dean doesn't kill him is that [[spoiler:so far nothing is powerful enough to kill Jack]]. However, Sam remains as hopeful and determined as ever that Jack, as a thinking, breathing person, can be the BigGood Jack's ''other'' parent had believed he would be.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Manages to stun the Winchesters with one.
* ManChild: [[spoiler: Despite being physically an adult, he is technically still a child, something that Sam notices quickly when he tries to search for his parents after birth.]]
* NoSell: [[spoiler: Can't be killed by angel blades.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler: Both his mother and adoptive father are dead. His biological father is still alive, but he's in another dimension. Also, considering who he is, it's better that he stays out of Jack's reach.]]
* PlayingWithFire: Uses this power to immolate [[spoiler:Dagon.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: Just before he is born, he creates an alternate universe where Azazel never resurrected John after he killed him in "In The Beginning", and thus, Dean and Sam were never born and the Apocalypse went unabated.]]
* SlasherSmile: Flashes this to Sam when the latter first discovers him.
* SpecialPersonNormalName: Jack, the [[spoiler:half-Archangel]] Nephilim.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Sports these when [[spoiler:possessing Castiel]], and then when he's [[spoiler:finally born.]]
