History Characters / SupernaturalNephilim

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Downplayed. He's already a nephilim, but that does make him half-human and mortal. [[spoiler:By the series end, he absorbs God's powers, becoming the new Lord. He decides to be more hands-off than his grandfather was.]]

* TheDreaded: 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.

* PowerIncontinence: Jack is the nephilim offspring of Lucifer who is an archangel and one of the most powerful beings in existence. Since all nephilim have HybridPower and eventually become more powerful than their angelic sire, Jack at his full potential will be pretty much TheOmnipotent. However since he is only a year old, though matured to adulthood, he combines both DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength with HowDoIShootWeb to often terrifying PersonOfMassDestruction levels.

* TheWoobie: Jack’s initial innocence, immense kindness and polite demeanor have been beloved by the fandom since his debut, and as such the trials and tribulations he experiences are met with the same cry of “poor baby who doesn’t deserve that.” This characterization is highly popular but often removes the more negative or complex aspects of his character and story arcs. Despite him being shown to exhibit extreme anger, hatred—and even cruelty—he is still often regarded as an innocent and infantile ray of sunshine.
* WoobieDestroyerofWorlds: Because Jack is so caring for others, especially those he considers family or friends, he has a tendency to be extremely overprotective and defensive of them. This overprotectiveness often leads to bouts of impulsive violence against a perceived threat—such as a Gas’n’Sip employee he believed responsible for murdering a friend and the alternate Archangel Michael, whom he not only tortured briefly with enough internal pressure to cause bleeding in Michael’s ears, eyes and nose for “hurting his friends, hurting his family” but also later killed and absorbed the grace of.

* FriendToAllChildren: A bit of a given as he is mentally a toddler in adult form.

* ManChild: Despite being physically a young adult, he is technically still a child, something that Sam notices quickly when he tries to search for his parents after birth.

* NoSocialSkills: Despite having the physical appearance of a teenager, Jack is chronologically a newborn. This means he doesn't understand slang or pop culture references and responds very literally to questions. He often mimics the behavior of those around him, sometimes to comical effect.

* YoungerThanHeLooks: See BornAsAnAdult above. By Season 14, he is barely a year old.

* OedipusComplex: He despises his father Lucifer, given that he is literally the Devil, while loving his compassionate human mother Kelly Kline.

* HasTwoMommies: The Winchester brothers, Sam especially, are Jack's de facto parental figures, aside from his chosen father Castiel.

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 abominations for most angels and hunters, so for this reason, any Nephilim that are conceived are disposed of immediately, alongside their angelic parents, the moment they are discovered.

* TheWoobie: She did nothing wrong except have angelic/human heritage, and her reaction to the Angels showing up indicates that the [[spoiler: successful attempt on her life]] may not have been the first one.

* 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 Jack).

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: After [[spoiler: he lost his grace]], Jack constantly blames himself, thinking that not being able to find Dean or fight Alternate Michael make him a useless member of Team Free Will.

* NotSoDifferent: From Sam. When Jack feels that he doesn't deserve to live because he thinks he's an evil monster, Sam doesn't believe that. The reason? Sam tell Jack that he knows what it's like to be scared of what he is, remembering that he once drank demon blood to gain demonic power.
** Just like Sam, [[spoiler:he loses his soul. Or, at least, a huge part of it.]]

* AntiAntiChrist: Played with. He is firmly on the side of good, but he actually gets along well with Lucifer, despite people's (including the fanbase) expectations, [[spoiler: at least initially]].

* 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.

* EnergyAbsorption: [[spoiler: After exploding in The Empty he becomes a “power vacuum” allowing him to absorb all types of power even God’s.]]

* GodIsGood: [[spoiler:After becoming the new God Jack tells Sam and Dean that people wont have to worship or sacrifice to him they just need to know that he will always be with them. He also sets about undoing some of the injustices of the world so that humans can have a true afterlife.]]

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: He leaves almost immediately after becoming the new God and tells them he'll never directly interact with them again.]]

* TheChosenOne: While Jack was still in the womb his mother Kelly Kline believed that he would do great good for the world after he saved her life from a suicide attempt. Later on Castiel came to believe the same thing after seeing a vision of a better world with Jack in it and thus decided to protect him. [[spoiler:By the end of the series this was firmly cermented when Jack stole Chuck's powers and became a new, better God then the cruel, capricious previous one.]]

* But Now I Must Go: [[spoiler: He leaves almost immediately after becoming the new God and tells them he'll never directly interact with them again.]]

!!!Portrayed by Alexander Calvert

* MessianicArchetype: [[spoiler:He's arguably the closest thing the series has to the [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} real deal]]. However, instead of being God's son, he's His grandson through {{Satan}} himself no less. Before he is even born, his mother Kelly, and later Castiel, say that he will do good things and change the world for the better. Due to his status as the Devil's son, he is often persecuted by those around him, most notably Dean, and the survivors of Apocalypse World because of his angelic heritage. Fortunately, he begins to turn people's view of him by consistently proving himself to be a genuinely good person. He dies and resurrected (twice actually) and upon stealing Chuck's powers and becoming the new God, Jack shows himself to be better God than Chuck could ever hope to be by undoing all of the wrong things Chuck has done, and even remaking Heaven from a place where people are restricted into their personal paradise, reliving their memories for eternity, into a place where the souls can reunite with their loved ones.]]

* RedeemingReplacement: [[spoiler:By the end of the series Jack has absorbed Chuck's powers and become the new God. Unlike Chuck, who was a ControlFreak who manipulated all of creation for his own amazement, Jack is a genuinely good person and decides to leave Earth for good so that humanity can thrive. He also makes sure to revamp Heaven, turning it into an actual paradise, and gets Bobby out of Heaven's dungeon so he can enjoy it.]]

* ThereIsAnother: Jane was said to be the last Nephilim, prior to Jack being introduced.
** {{Justified}}, Since Jack was only born after Jane's death.

* EasilyImpressed: Being less than a year old in Season 13, everything Jack encounters is new and fascinating. He likes the clothes he got from lost and found, loves the stale chocolate out of the vending machine, thinks the rundown motel the brothers stay in is really nice, and loves watching old cartoons on an old box set television. * EnergyAbsorption: [[spoiler: After exploding in The Empty he becomes a “power vacuum” allowing him to absorb all types of power even God’s.]]
