12	An AlternateUniverse first accessed in "[[Recap/SupernaturalS12E23AllAlongTheWatchtower All Along the Watchtower]]" (S12, E23) due to the birth of the Nephilim Jack creating a rift between two worlds. The Apocalypse World is an alternate reality in which Mary Campbell refused the deal that Azazel offered to her and thus John Winchester was never brought back to life. Without John's resurrection, Dean and Sam Winchester were never born, thus preventing Lucifer and Michael from gaining their proper vessels. [[InSpiteOfANail The Apocalypse still occurred anyway]], although in this reality, {{Heaven}} was victorious and Lucifer was smote by Michael. Instead of returning to Heaven, the angels turned their attention to humanity and began a seven-year purge. Now the remaining humans are in an ongoing and seemingly futile war with their saviors-turned-oppressors.
13
14	!Tropes:
15	* AfterTheEnd: While the main ''Supernatural'' universe is not exactly peachy, it seems relatively okay compared to the burned-out ruins that make up the Apocalypse World wherein angels are regularly murdering humans, demons have become more bestial in nature, and the few surviving humans are in a [[HopelessWar desperate war]] just to survive.
16	* AlternateHistory: Due to Mary Winchester refusing the deal given to her by Azazel, a number of changes ended up happening to this world in comparison to the main one. For instance:
17	** John was never resurrected after Azazel killed him in 1973, which means that Sam and Dean were never born and became hunters. Since they were never born, there was no way for the Apocalypse to be aborted and humanity is on the verge of complete destruction.
18	** Mary was still alive until 2007, while her main counterpart was killed in 1983 as payment for the aforementioned John's resurrection. She is dead now, but because of a completely different reason.
19	** Bobby was never killed by Dick Roman since the Leviathans were never unleashed in this world, and he is the leader of the LaResistance of the Apocalypse World. He also had a son named Daniel, unlike the main universe where he refused to have one.
20	** Charlie was never killed by the Styne family and is one of the leaders of the LaResistance of the Apocalypse World.
21	** Kevin lost everyone he cared about and was coerced into helping Michael in order to see his mother again.
22	** Zachariah wasn't killed by Dean; he's still serving as Michael's lieutenant and chief interrogator.
23	** Similarly, Balthazar wasn't killed by Castiel since the angel civil war never occurred. He is serving as a general in Michael's army.
24	** Castiel is an unhinged TortureTechnician in Michael's army.
25	* DeadAlternateCounterpart:
26	** Michael has killed his version of Lucifer. No mention of what happened to Raphael or Gabriel, however. [[spoiler: By "Let the Good Times Roll", both Lucifers are officially dead.]]
27	** This universe's counterpart of Mary was killed by Azazel in 2007 and stays dead. This raises the possibility of the alternate Azazel being alive somewhere (interestingly, the main Azazel was also killed in 2007).
28	** Linda Tran is offhandedly mentioned to be dead. Her main counterpart is still alive (although [[PutOnABus we haven't see her since Season 9]]).
29	** This is {{inverted\|Trope}} for some characters. Balthazar, Bobby, Charlie, Kevin, and Zachariah are still alive when the Winchesters first visit the Apocalypse World, whereas their main counterparts are already long dead. Balthazar, Kevin, and Zachariah kick the bucket throughout Season 13, but Bobby and Charlie are still around and kicking.
30	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The Apocalypse World is rendered in a lot of grey and muted colors in order to show how much of a [[CrapsackWorld screwed-up place]] it is even when compared to the main universe.
31	* DyingRace: There are only a few humans left and their numbers are steadily declining. Demons and monsters seem to share the same fate.
32	* ExpendableAlternateUniverse: Defied; the Winchesters do everything within their power to save as many people as possible from this dimension, relocating an entire settlement of them to the Prime Universe.
33	* InSpiteOfANail: Despite neither Dean or Sam being born in this reality, Lucifer was still able to escape the Cage and the Apocalypse still occurred (understandable, as our Michael wanted Lucifer freed so he could kill him and kickstart the Apocalypse). The only problem is it never actually ended.
34	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: There's a type of demon in this reality called Tempter Demons and deviate from the main universe demons with the presence of the stereotypical horns.
35	* SlaveRace: Michael reveals in "Nihilism" that in this universe, Death was "locked away", with reapers subsequently becoming slaves of angels.

48
49	The ruler of Heaven and, by extension, the Apocalypse World. This version of Michael is a bloodthirsty tyrant who decided to wipe out humanity after destroying his world's Lucifer. Despite having control over the Apocalypse World, Michael has greater ambitions in mind and seeks to conquer other worlds, a process made much easier by the arrival of the main universe's Lucifer.
50	----
51	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Proves to be this to ''Lucifer'', handily defeating both his main universe and Apocalypse World counterparts easily. In fact, according to Lucifer, he might even be stronger then the [[TheAce main universe's Michael]]. [[spoiler:Proves it in the finale, when his power allows Dean to kill the Nephilim-powered Lucifer once and for all.]]
52	* BadassInANiceSuit: [[spoiler:His standard garb when possessing Dean]].
53	* BadassLongcoat: Is never seen without one [[spoiler:in either of his vessels.]]
54	* 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 AU Zachariah's MindRape tactics on Jack incredibly quickly and warns him not to fail again.
55	* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:By the end of Season 13 not only does Michael manage to enter the main universe, his goal for the entire season, he now has his "sword" (aka Dean's body) as his perfect vessel which makes his defeat seem almost impossible now.]]
56	* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:As revealed in "The Spear", Michael willingly left Dean in "Gods and Monsters" because he was having difficulty controlling him, as Dean fought with all his might to break free. However, Michael was able to create a crack, which grows larger as he struggles with PTSD, so that when he possesses Dean again, the latter would be sufficiently weakened to the point that he will not be able to fight back.]]
57	* 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 a direct result of Michael's actions]].
58	* 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.]] [[spoiler: In the season finale though, Michael is forced into a EnemyMine with the Winchesters when Lucifer proves too dangerous for even him to deal with]].
59	* BloodKnight: Has a sick, sadistic smile on his face when killing [[spoiler: Gabriel]], and later expounds to Dean how much he's enjoying drawing out beating him to death.
60	* BodySurf: During Season 14, he inhabits the bodies of [[spoiler:Dean Winchester, an unnamed woman, and Rowena [=MacLeod=].]]
61	* 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.]] [[spoiler:With Dean as his vessel, he eventually kills our Lucifer as well]].
62	* CurbStompBattle: Effortlessly thrashes main universe Lucifer, and only leaves him alive [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou due to needing the power of another archangel to break into other universes.]] [[spoiler:Wrecks Lucifer again near the end of Season 13, and easily kills Gabriel in the same episode]].
63	* DeadpanSnarker: Suits his delivery very well.
64	--->'''Anael:''' You're not...you're not Dean Winchester... [[OhCrap oh, God]].
65	--->'''Michael:''' People keep calling me that.
66	* DealWithTheDevil:
67	** Literally (though unlike most examples of the trope he's both more powerful and far more evil than our Lucifer) - [[spoiler:Lucifer knows the spell that accesses the main universe, so he cuts a deal to give Michael the spell in return for his son Jack.]]
68	** [[spoiler: Ironically, Michael himself becomes the Devil when Dean offers to temporarily let himself become his vessel in exchange for using his powers to fight Lucifer and save the universe from his wrath. He ends up reneging on the temporary part and possesses Dean permanently after they manage to kill the Devil.]]
69	** As part of his plan to create a perfect world in Season 14, Michael offers many beings, including humans, angels, and monsters, the things they crave most. However, if he sees any kind of hypocrisy (in case of humans) or weakness (in case of angels, which amounts to [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway possessing humane qualities]]) in them, he won't grant them. And considering what we've seen about him so far, having your wish granted probably is not a good outcome, either.
70	* DespairEventHorizon: It's implied he basically crossed it either when God never returned after Michael killed his world's Lucifer, or when he read Dean's memories and came to the conclusion that all the parallel universes were nothing more than "failed drafts" to God.
71	* 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 ([[spoiler:something God later confirms in "Galaxy Brain"]]) 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...
72	* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: He is killed by Jack several episodes before the season 14 finale.]]
73	* 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). 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.
74	* EnemyMine: Loathes the Winchesters, but is well aware [[spoiler:Lucifer powered up on Jack's grace is a nightmare waiting to happen. Consequently, he's willing to cut a deal - taking Dean as his vessel in order to stop his alternate brother.]]
75	* EvenEvilHasStandards:
76	** 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 didn't want Lucifer stealing his thunder; Michael himself plans on wreaking havoc across the multiverse before he can finally kill God and replace him.]]
77	** "Stranger in a Strange Land" reveals that he doesn't have a high opinion of hypocrites, as he rejects a man's wish for peace and love, despite the fact that he cheated on his wife and left his friends to die in a war zone.
78	* EvilDoppelganger: The main reality's Michael was no hero (generally he was an AntiVillain), but Castiel rightfully notes that this version of Michael is much, ''much'' more evil and dangerous.
79	* EvilerThanThou: ZigZagged. At first, he's the Eviler one to the main reality's Lucifer, being powerful enough to NoSell and overpower him almost instantly and being acknowledged by Luci himself as actually being eviler. Later, [[spoiler:the order is switched around when Lucifer absorbs Jack's Grace and threatens to [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 dismantle the entire universe]]]].
80	* EvilPlan: Michael wants to create a superpowered monster army. To do this, he infuses monsters with angel grace. [[spoiler:"The Spear" reveals that he also plans to turn the entire population of Kansas City into monsters.]]
81	* EvilUncle: To Jack, the son of an alternate version of his brother Lucifer. Michael tortures and torments his nephew in attempt to harness his powers, though [[spoiler:he at least spares Jack and Sam and leaves in peace after killing Lucifer, with Jack powerless against Michael. On the other hand, sparing Jack and Sam was likely to keep his new vessel Dean from retaliating]].
82	* 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. That changes after he views Dean's memories]].
83	* EvilVersusEvil: Played with. [[spoiler: He fights Lucifer multiple times throughout season 13 and wins every time. For the first two he's the more ObviouslyEvil of the two once it becomes apparent he's the reason the Apocalypse World is the way it is. Their last battle, on the other hand, sees Lucifer as the bigger threat once he steals Jack's grace. It's a bit of a subversion though, as Dean is in control at that point.]]
84	* GenderBender:
85	** After leaving [[spoiler:Dean]] in "Gods and Monsters", Michael possesses a woman from Kansas City, though everyone still invariably calls him a "he". [[spoiler:He goes back to possessing Dean in "The Spear".]]
86	** His latest vessel as of "Ouroboros" is [[spoiler:Rowena]], though it does not last long.
87	* HeroKiller: Kills [[spoiler:Gabriel as the team escapes from the Apocalypse World.]]
88	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Michael desires to purge all worlds of sin, but has become a BloodKnight who destroyed his own world.
89	* 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]]. [[spoiler:It eventually takes Jack tapping into his full power - and burning away his soul in the process - to kill him.]]
90	* KickTheDog:
91	** Sends Zachariah to kill the escaped Jack and Mary, and flatly tells him to kill Mary first to make Jack suffer.
92	** He makes [[spoiler:Kevin Tran turn himself into an angel bomb to kill as many resistance members as he can]] knowing that it wouldn't harm Jack but wanting to show him that, even if he won, he would still lose.
93	* KnightOfCerebus: Asmodeus and Lucifer had occasional moments of levity throughout Season 13, but you ''know'' that things are gonna get bad when he shows up.
94	* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The original Michael is this compared to him. While he's still evil, he at least was still driven by genuine devotion to his Father's divine plan and regretted having to kill his own brother. This version of Michael, on the other hand, lost his faith when God failed to reappear after Lucifer's death, and, driven by nihilism and spite, brought about desolation on Earth and nearly hunted the human race to extinction.
95	* MultiversalConqueror: Michael had plans to invade another Universe and take it over long before Lucifer showed up. He just needed his brother's Grace in order to set it in motion. He later reveals this to be part of his long-term plan to desecrate enough universes until God will stop his AllPowerfulBystander act and confront him.
96	* ANaziByAnyOtherName: While it's unlikely it was intentional, his genocidal regime against the humans of his world is disturbingly reminiscent of the Holocaust. He's not even satisfied with purging his own world, desiring to invade other worlds and wipe out mankind from all universes.
97	* TheNthDoctor: This Michael's vessel is not John (who is long dead) or Adam (who is never born). [[spoiler:But he's aware of Dean's status as our Michael's true vessel, and cuts a deal with Dean to possess him in order to stop a powered-up Lucifer.]]
98	* OmnicidalManiac: Reading Dean's memories of encounters with Chuck make Michael become this -- he states his evil actions at first began as trying to be a better God than his Father, but now he just intends to burn down every parallel universe until he catches up to Chuck, and then he'll [[{{Patricide}} kill him]].
99	* TheOmniscient: Not totally, in keeping with the series' rules for God and angels, but he's somehow aware of a lot of knowledge about our universe that's never communicated to him onscreen, such as Dean being the perfect vessel for our Michael, or Anael's rebel-against-Heaven status.
100	* {{Pride}}: When a Muslim man whose wish he asks misidentifies him as Gabriel (understandable, since [[ShownTheirWork Gabriel is far more important than Michael in Islam]]), he corrects this by stating that he is "the better one".
101	* RageAgainstTheHeavens: In "Nihilism", Michael reveals the reason why he is so bent on destroying worlds: he believes 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".
102	* RankScalesWithAsskicking: As is standard for archangels. Notably, he's the only character in the Apocalypse World shown to be able to effortlessly ragdoll Jack, who is easily more powerful than any normal angel. [[spoiler: In the season 13 finale, after he acquires his perfect vessel (aka Dean), he also ends up killing main universe Lucifer, at that time an Archangel-Nephilim hybrid, though this takes considerably more effort than his previous fights.]]
103	* {{Sadist}}: He's a lot crueller than the main 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".
104	* ScaryBlackMan: The vessel he uses through the majority of season 13 is an African American man and he is far more vicious and evil then his main Universe counterpart. [[spoiler: He discards the vessel in the season finale in favor of Dean.]]
105	* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: As of "Nihilism", [[spoiler:he's trapped inside a locked room buried in Dean Winchester's mind. He eventually does escape, and possesses Rowena before his demise at Jack's hands.]]
106	* 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 ([[spoiler:correctly, as it turned out]]) 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.
107	* TearsOfBlood: After [[spoiler:Jack thoroughly wrecks him with his powers at the end of Season 13.]]
108	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: Personally responsible for the deaths of two Lucifers: one from the main universe, and the other from the Apocalypse World.]]
109	* TimeAbyss: He takes a rather nihilistic view on life because of his age, impressing Jack that he's already seen so many species and civilizations thrive before disappearing just as quickly that wiping out humanity won't mean a thing.
110	* TomTheDarkLord: A weird case. The Archangel Michael being a genocidal conqueror only sounds like this trope because so many people in real life have been named after him. All the Hebrew-origin names ending in "El" are associated with God, although in the original myths the angels are purely benevolent.
111	* TortureTechnician: Michael has his own personal Iron Maiden in the Church that he calls his base which he hangs his favourite prisoners on and allows them to be impaled by spikes over and over again.
112	* 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. [[spoiler: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.]]
113	* VillainousLegacy: Surprisingly positive ones.
114	** 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]].
115	** When the main universe's 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.]]
116	* WeCanRuleTogether: He intends for Jack to ultimately join his cause, even if it will take centuries.
117	* WorldsStrongestMan: Much like his main universe counterpart Michael is Heaven's greatest warrior and the strongest being in his own universe thanks to the absence of God. [[spoiler: The finale of Season 13 shows that, with his perfect vessel, Michael is not strong enough to defeat a Nephilim powered Lucifer but is able to kill him with an archangel-blade, thus leaving himself as the strongest being in both universes (again with the absence of God and Amara.]]

125
126	The alternate counterpart of [[Characters/SupernaturalProphets Kevin Tran]]. Like the other Kevin, he is a prophet, and unlike him, he is dutifully following the tasks it entails as an agent of God, working to open the Rift for Michael.
127	----
128	* AllMenArePerverts: Ostensibly promised "hot women" by Michael in return for working under him. [[spoiler: The truth is harsher than that.]]
129	* ApologeticAttacker: Kevin apologises to [[spoiler:Jack and the rest of the members of the Resistance in tears before he sets of the bomb that kills all but Jack and Mary.]]
130	* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Considers Michael as good and Lucifer bad, because that's what the good book says.
131	* LesCollaborateurs: The Resistance see him as a turncloack, but it's clear that Michael has forced and brainwashed him into servitude.
132	* LiteralMinded: When Michael calls him a "[[PitifulWorms worm]]", Kevin responds that he's a vertebrate.
133	* IveComeTooFar: Kevin eventually realises that he has done truly awful things by siding with Michael but he has done to much to relent now [[spoiler:even if that means blowing himself up to kill as many Resistance members as possible.]]
134	* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: He wants to meet with his dead mother, even if he has to kill several resistance members for it.]]
135	* SuicideAttack: [[spoiler: Michael orders him to set a trap to kill the leaders of the Resistance, particularly Bobby, using an explosive suicide spell. When Bobby doesn't show up, he settles on killing everyone in the room for him except for Jack and Mary.]]
136	* TokenHuman: The only human working for Heaven.
137	* TrappedInVillainy: Kevin is shown to be in remorse for the terrible things he's done for Heaven but decides he has to do them [[spoiler:so he can be reunited with his mother in Heaven.]]

142	!!!Portrayed by: Chad Rook

144	!!!Rank in Heaven: Lieutenant to Michael
145	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zachariah_apocalypse_world.png]]
146
147	The alternate counterpart of [[Characters/SupernaturalAngels Zachariah]]. As with his counterpart, he works under Michael.
148	----
149	* {{Flight}}: Unlike most angels whose "flight" is more akin to teleportation, he can be seen traversing the sky by taking a form similar to a comet.
150	* ManipulativeBastard: Much like his main Universe counterpart Zachariah is fond of manipulating his targets to reveal information such as first showing Jack a vision of Sam and Dean burning alive and being unable to save them then switching things up by making Castiel appear and trying to convince him to turn on humanity.
151	* MindRape: He attempts to court Jack into joining the Host of Heaven by showing him horrific visions. It fails.
152	* TheNthDoctor: Chad Rook replaces Kurt Fuller in this version of Zachariah. In-story, Zachariah's other vessel (a middle-aged businessman) is presumably dead. And given how angel hosts follow bloodlines, they're probably related.

156	[[folder:Castiel]]
157	!!!Portrayed by: Creator/MishaCollins
158	!!!First appearance: [[Recap/SupernaturalS13E22Exodus "Exodus" (S13, Ep22)]]
159	!!!Rank in Heaven: Torturer
160	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_2987e3b686d0f49574503305e727b5f7_a3ff82fc_500.jpg]]
161
162	The alternate counterpart of [[Characters/SupernaturalCastiel Castiel]]. This universe's Castiel does not befriend the Winchester brothers (who are never born) and as a result does not join Team Free Will. He works as a personal torturer for Heaven.
163	----
164	* HeelFaceTurn: Averted. The Apocalypse World shows what happens if Castiel never meets the Winchesters. He keeps the whole angel-supremacy-over-human attitude and becomes a sadistic TortureTechnician.
165	* KillingYourAlternateSelf: [[spoiler: Gets killed by main universe Castiel.]]
166	* MindRape: Uses this to force information out of Charlie.
167	* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Inexplicably has a German accent, which combined with what he does is a very blatant evocation to the Nazis.
168	* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Is annoyed that the other Castiel is allying himself with humans over angels.
169	* RedRightHand: One of his vessel's eyes is clouded over.
170	* TortureTechnician: His current job. This references the mainstream Castiel's dark side, who is noted to be a more experienced torturer than someone like ''Crowley''.
171	* UnexplainedAccent: He has a German accent probably to make him Nazi-like but there is no InUniverse reason given as to why he would have it. No other character's counterpart has a different accent.

177	[[folder:Bobby Singer]]
178	!!!Portrayed by: Creator/JimBeaver
179	!!!First appearance: [[Recap/SupernaturalS12E23AllAlongTheWatchtower "All Along the Watchtower" (S12, Ep23)]]
180	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bobby_singer_apocalypse_world.png]]
181
182	A former hunter and the alternate counterpart of [[Characters/SupernaturalHunters Bobby Singer]]. Here he leads a colony of humanity's survivors, with the intent of fighting off angels.
183	----
184	* BigGood: As Bobby lampshades to Mary he is pretty much all Apocalypse World has to stand against Michael and his angels.
185	* CoolOldGuy: Like his main counterpart.
186	* DarkAndTroubledPast: His wife died of unnatural causes, then he lost his remaining family when Daniel was killed by angels during an assignment.
187	* DeathSeeker: In "Nightmare Logic", Bobby states that after the death of Daniel, literally the only thing that keeps him moving was his responsibility to protect what's humans left. And even he was starting to lose hope until just before he met the Winchesters.
188	* EarlyBirdCameo: First appears at the end of Season 12, when the rift to the alternate reality first opens, and where he saves Castiel from a demon. He also serves as MrExposition in order to let Sam, Dean, Cas, and the audience know how exactly this alternate universe became absolute hell.
189	* FantasticRacism: Is livid upon learning that Jack is a Nephilim, and wants him gone. Thankfully, he comes around once Jack defends their colony from Zachariah's attacks.
190	* AFatherToHisMen: Calls his colony a "family" at the end of "Exodus", and welcomes the Winchesters into it. He also mentions that they will go back for the other survivors once they get the chance.
191	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Hates angels, but comes around to Jack and is fond of the boys.
192	* TheLeader: Of his colony.
193	* LikeASonToMe: Not as much as his main counterpart, but eventually comes to view Sam and Dean in this way after they save his colony and provide them with refuge in the main reality.
194	* MrExposition: Serves as this to flesh out the backstory of the alternate reality, which is one where Mary Campbell [[ForWantOfANail never]] [[Recap/SupernaturalS04E03InTheBeginning made a deal with Azazel]] to bring John Winchester back to life.
195	* MyGreatestFailure: As revealed in "Nightmare Logic", he still blames himself for letting his son, Daniel, get captured and subsequently executed by angels.
196	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Unlike his main universe counterpart, the Alternate Bobby had a son who was captured and brutally killed by angels during a mission.
197	* ReplacementGoldfish: Replaces the main reality's Bobby for Sam and Dean with the main Bobby long dead and now in Heaven. Sam and Dean have no trouble accepting him as the new Bobby and the new Bobby soon becomes close to them, despite no alternate Sam and Dean Winchester having existed in his universe. The implications are pointed out in [[https://idontneedasymbol.tumblr.com/post/174132830616/imagine-if-heaven-falls-and-all-the-spirits this fan post]].
198	* ShipTease: With Mary. "Nightmare Logic" is close to shedding the teasing part; by the episode's ending, both decide to move to Donna's cabin to recuperate together.
199	* StakingTheLovedOne: Despite the real deal being dead, Bobby still hesitates to kill the AxCrazy Djinn-manifestation of Daniel.

221	* ReplacementGoldfish: As with Bobby, the Winchesters regard the alternate Charlie as a replacement for the closest figure they had of a sister pretty quickly. "Optimism", however, reveals that Charlie does not like being compared with her alternate self all the time, one of the reasons why she tries to find a new life of her own.
