Punch-uriel

Castiel punching Uriel through a brick wall.

Super Strength is the ability of one's muscles to exert force beyond what is physically possible for a human. A common power among many paranormal creatures, basic super strength allows the user to casually overpower human opponents, even those who would be otherwise untouchable.

At higher levels, typically among immortals, super strength enables the user to safely lift overbearing weights such as cars with their bare hands, break free of most physical restraints, and cause considerable damage to their immediate surroundings with the force of their blows.

Individual Users

  • Doc Benton - Doc Benton was able to punch through a car window, and lift Dean up like a feather.
  • Eve - Being the mother of all monsters, Eve's strength was far superior to humans and every Earthly supernatural creature. She was cocky enough to claim that she would take care of the demon Crowley if she was to find him. She was more powerful than even seraphs. Humans were no threat to her in terms of bodily force.
  • Jake Talley - Jake was able to lift and turn over military trucks, bench an enormous amount of weight, and could send people flying with his punches.
  • Sam Winchester (inactive) - While demon blood was in his system, Sam gained similar super strength to Jake Talley and could overpower low-level demons and hunters such as Dean.
  • War - War could generate enough force to destroy a bridge, though it is unknown if he used physical effort to do so.
  • Whore of Babylon - Being a creature of Babylon, she exhibits incredible strength when fighting off Sam and Dean. However, angels were stronger than her.
  • Todd (temporarily) - He made a wish at the Wishing Well at Lucky Chin's. He displayed the ability to tip over a vehicle, as well as send Dean flying with a punch as well as restrain and choke him. After the spell of the coin was broken, super strength disappeared.
  • Dean Winchester (inactive) - While imbued with the power of the Mark of Cain, Dean displayed this power as well as immunity to demonic powers and telekinesis, easily overpowering a vampire and lifting Abaddon off her feet while killing her. While powered by the Alternate Michael after agreeing to allow him to possess him but conditioning that he be allowed to remain in control, Dean was strong enough to evenly grapple with the super-charged Lucifer and stagger and harm him.
  • Castiel (powered up by Jack) - While empowering Castiel, he granted him enough levels of superior strength to effortlessly overpower the Prince of Hell Dagon, who had easily beaten Castiel while he was only using his seraphim powers.
  • Lucifer - Upon stealing Jack's grace and becoming super-charged, Lucifer's already tremendous strength increased to phenomenal proportions, allowing him to give a Michael-powered Dean a vicious beating after a brief struggle.

Racial Users

Angelic Beings

  • Archangels - The oldest, strongest and most powerful on the celestial chain, Archangels are among the oldest, strongest and most powerful beings in the whole Universe, and among the oldest, strongest and most powerful beings in all of existence. Archangels are significantly much stronger than virtually all beings, monsters, creatures in the universe. Their tremendous super strength varies among them individually, with Lucifer being able to overpower Gabriel and Alternate Michael being able to overpower both of them. While their strength compared to the Leviathans remains untested, their respective levels of physical might can be compared in conjunction to other beings. The seraph Castiel has demonstrated possessing enough strength to at least hold his own against Leviathans, such as when he was able to momentarily restrain Dick Roman, the strongest Leviathan, and later hold his own against two Leviathans at once, but has displayed nowhere near enough strength to demonstrate similar success with any of the archangels, easily brushed aside by Raphael, Lucifer and Alternate Michael, along with being effortlessly restrained by a Supernatural Handcuff bound Michael, utterly powerless against them in terms of physical strength.
  • Seraphs - Among the most powerful on the celestial chain, Seraphs are significantly stronger than most demons, most angels, monsters, spirits, and humans.
  • Grigori - Among the most powerful on the celestial chain, Grigori are much stronger than humans, spirits, most monsters, most demons, and even other angels. They are strong enough to match and even overpower weakened Seraphs, while they were empowered by souls.
  • Angels - As the most common on the celestial chain, Angels are stronger than most demons, spirits, most monsters and humans.
  • Rit Zien - Despite being only the "medics" of Heaven, Rit Zien possess their vessels with enough strength to effortlessly overpower humans.
  • Cherubs - Even though among the lowest order of angel, Cherubs have enough strength to overpower humans and occupied (angel) vessels while hugging them.
  • Reapers - Reapers have enough strength to overpower humans.
  • Nephilim - The hybrid children of angels and humans, Nephilim are incredibly strong. Jane was easily able to throw around Metatron and Castiel with the two only winning the fight by taking her by surprise. Jack, while empowering Castiel, imbued him with strength that enabled him to restrain the Prince of Hell Dagon one-handed despite Dagon easily beating Castiel moments before.

Demonic Beings

  • Princes of Hell - As four of the first five demons ever created, the Princes of Hell are incredibly strong, being able to overpower humans, monsters, lower demons and even angels as powerful as a Seraphim with ease. Their strength compared to the Leviathans remains unseen, but it is possible the Princes are at the same level if not stronger, as whilst Leviathans have been shown to be able to overpower Seraphim, Castiel could hold his own against two at once, but was no match for Dagon, who beat him to a pulp (it should be noted that Castiel last faced Leviathans before The Fall, and faced Dagon after, and therefore was possibly weaker than before).
