Adam Milligan

Adam Milligan (born September 29, 1990) is the son of Kate Milligan and John Winchester, and younger half-brother to Dean and Sam Winchester. He also served as the vessel of Michael when Dean refused to accept him. After Sam successfully seals Michael, Lucifer, Adam and himself in Lucifer's Cage, Sam's body is eventually rescued by Castiel and later his soul by Death, but Adam was left behind with Michael and Lucifer.

Biography
Adam calls John's cell phone in order to lure him into a trap, but the call reaches Adam's half-brothers Dean and Sam instead, as John died two years earlier. Dean and Sam discover the trick, killed the two ghouls, avenging Adam's death. They then burn the body of the brother they had never known. Despite Sam's pleas of attempting to ask Castiel to revive him, Dean insists on by saying he was their brother and died like a hunter, so he deserved the funeral of one.

Whilst enjoying eternity in his own private Heaven (making out on his prom night) Adam is approached by Angels who offer him the opportunity to live again and help the Archangel Michael defeat Lucifer by becoming Michael's vessel. Adam accepts after being promised his mother's return, though he is warned about his half-brothers before he is resurrected under Zachariah's supervision. He awakes beneath the ground where his funeral pyre was held and crawls to the surface to find Castiel and Remi waiting for him, the angels originally meant to greet him lying dead nearby because of him. Castiel teleports an unconscious Adam to Bobby Singer's house, much to the amazement of Sam and Dean.

Adam regains consciousness when Castiel engraves Enochian runes on his ribs to keep the angels from locating him. Adam formally meets his half-brothers and informs the Winchesters of the angels warning him about them and tells them of his deal with the angels and his intention to say "yes" to Michael as he'd get to see his mother again. Though they are confused as to how Adam can qualify as a vessel for Michael, Castiel deduces that because Adam is of the Winchester bloodline, he is eligible to contain Michael's essence, despite the prophecy that foretells Dean as the one and only candidate. However, Dean doesn't want him to share that fate and slips away.

Sam later catches Adam trying to sneak out and speaks with him. In the talk, Adam is again distant with his brother even stating he'd have settled for anything to have a father like John which leaves Sam at a loss. Adam is then put in Bobby's care while Sam searches for Dean. Meanwhile, Adam dreams of the park his mother used to take him to when he was little and is greeted by Zachariah, who insists that the Winchesters are not to be trusted and that if he cooperates with the angels he will get to see his mother again. Adam is initially doubtful, seeming to have started trusting his brothers somewhat, but agrees at the promise of seeing his mother. Adam gives Zachariah his location and the angels promptly snatch him out from under Bobby's nose along with Remi who sensed the angels coming.

They take him and Remi to the Green Room where they had imprisoned Dean and Zachariah reveals that he has been lying to Adam all along. According to him, Adam's sole purpose was to lure Dean into a position where he would have to say yes to Michael, which proves successful when the Winchesters arrive to rescue their brother and Remi, surprising Adam, as he didn't think they'd really come. While Remi and Adam were trapped in the room, they bonded. Adam assumed that Dean and Remi was a couple. As Dean runs over to Adam and Remi making sure they were fine and Dean cups Remi's cheek and Adam chuckles "Just friends" looking at Dean and Remi. Zachariah appears and tortures Adam and the sneaking Sam until Dean agrees to become the vessel, but this is a ruse as Dean provokes Zachariah into letting his guard down and uses the chance to stab him with an Angel Blade, killing him instantly.

Dean helps Adam up and tells him to move as he gets Sam up to escape the room just as Michael descends but the door slams shut behind them, trapping Adam in the room with Michael's true form. Dean smashes the door open to find the room gone, along with Adam and Michael.

Adam's body, faces off against Lucifer in Kansas. When Lucifer tries to convince Michael to join him and rebel against Heaven, Michael refuses and prepares to fight his brother until Dean loudly enters the cemetery in the Impala. Upon seeing Michael in Adam, Dean says "Adam, if you are in there somewhere, I am so sorry," but Michael replies by saying "Adam isn't home right now but if he was he would rather talk to your girlfriend..." This causes Dean to tell Michael he's coming after him next.

Before either archangel can act, Castiel uses a molotov cocktail of Holy Fire on Michael (and indirectly, Adam), banishing him from the cemetery for a time. Lucifer then destroys Castiel for this act. As Sam regains control of his body and is about to jump into Lucifer's Cage, Michael tries to stop him and both end up falling in. Despite Sam's release from the Cage, Adam is still trapped with Michael.

Physical Appearance
Adam is tall and wears layers of clothes. He stands at about 6'0 to 6'1, with dark blonde hair and strands of lighter blonde. Adam has short hair, like Dean. Unlike his siblings, his eyes are blue.

Personality
Adam is a lot like Dean. He is very sarcastic, sometimes rude, and laid-back most of the time. He even uses some of Dean's sayings such as "rat's ass" and "unbelievable" and "son of a bitch". He could be a "ladies' man" like Dean, however his attention to remembering his prom date's name suggests he may be more sentimental like Sam. Based on the fact that he graduated honors in high school and was taking biology and studying pre-med at a university, like Sam, he may also be very intelligent as well.

He is shown to hold resentment towards his father John for never properly being there for him, yet he voices that he would have liked more of a relationship with him, to Sam. He was slow to warm up to his half-siblings, even stating neither of them were his family. However, he did seem to take their words about the angels into account when talking to Zachariah before realizing they were right. He was also surprised that they cared so much for him and that they'd actually tried to save him from Zachariah, calling him family despite his treatment towards them.

Angelic
Possessed by Michael


 * Lower Tier Nigh-Omnipotence - As the oldest Archangel and the first angel in general that God ever created, Michael has a tremendously vast supply of supernatural power, making him the most powerful celestial being that God created. Other angels, even some of the most powerful angels fear Michael's capabilities and powers.[4] Noted to be far superior to the younger Archangels, such as Raphael, with Castiel describing the amount of damage hosting Michael could do to Dean as being beyond that Raphael's vessel sustained, he is even ultimately more powerful than Lucifer, having defeated him during the First Heavenly Civil War and then locked him inside the Cage, with all angels being convinced that Michael would eventually kill Lucifer had they fought, it has also been noted that had Michael fought Lucifer, the impact of their battle would destroy much of Earth. When they later fought, Lucifer opted to avoid Michael's attacks instead of taking him head-on and catching him off-guard before knocking him down to the ground with an energy blast, noting that Michael had become "rusty". He can effortlessly kill and banish lesser angels at whim, as shown by how with a single touch, Michael easily burned Anna, a powerful angel, from the inside out to death and sent Uriel back to Heaven with a snap of his fingers. By placing two fingers on Sam's forehead, Michael brought him back to life while also, at the same time, heal his wounds and sent him back to the future all at once. He was also capable of creating a weapon called the Lance of Michael that can kill demons and angels, including Archangels, as evidenced with Lucifer. In addition, he could effortlessly obliterate Lilith, the first demon, just by flashing his eyes and erase the minds of those watching with just a snap of his fingers and a command to forget. Michael was able to open a twelve-hour rift to Purgatory with yet another finger snap, which not even Raphael could do without a powerful spell. Even when powered by 30-40 million souls, Castiel still felt the need to keep Michael in the cage further showing the immensity of his powers. The only known beings more powerful than Michael are God, Jack, Death, and the Darkness.
 * Angelic Possession - Michael requires a vessel to act on Earth, and he must have the vessel's permission. His power can only be contained by someone descended from Cain and Abel.[16] Dean Winchester is his true vessel.
 * Chronokinesis - Michael, as an Archangel, has advanced chronokinetic powers, being able to easily travel back in time to the past to stop Anna from killing Sam and Dean and back as well as return Sam and Dean to the present with just a single finger tap.[16]
 * Healing - Michael can easily heal others of any injury, wound and disease. Michael healed the young John Winchester from the extensive injuries he sustained after having been punched through a window by Anna. He also "fixed" Sam from the injuries he obtained from having a pipe launched through his stomach. He even went as far as to say that he could simply undo the massive damage Dean would have sustained had he became his vessel.
 * Clairsentience - Michael could easily detect Lilith upon seeing her.
 * Holy White Light - Michael can easily generate an overwhelming white light that is capable of obliterating other beings while leaving others he chose unaffected, as by simply flashing his eyes, he obliterated Lilith into a pile of ashes while the rest of the diner remained unaffected.[11]
 * Precognition - Michael can see into the future, but not the full picture.
 * Pyrokinesis - Michael can manipulate and generate earthly, and even spiritual fire. He uses this ability on disobedient angels, such as he did when he set Anna ablaze, painfully killing her, instead of snapping his fingers like Lucifer.[16]
 * Regeneration - If his vessel becomes damaged in any way, he is able to heal it instantly and completely. For instance, his vessel Adam was set ablaze by Holy Fire, but upon his return minutes later, he didn't have a scratch either on his skin or even his clothing.
 * Resurrection - Michael can resurrect humans with ease. He rose Sam from the dead after Anna killed him with a pipe through the stomach.
 * Supernatural Perception - Michael can sense and see things even if they're naturally invisible.
 * Super Stamina - As an Archangel, Michael's stamina is incalculable and, even when in a vessel, needs nothing to maintain strength, to strive or operate, as he is self-sufficient.
 * Super Strength - Being the oldest, strongest, and most powerful Archangel, the physical strength that Michael endows his vessel with is immense. Due to his status and power as the oldest angel, Michael is the strongest angel and the only one whose physical strength surpasses Lucifer's own, as the demon who was possessing Bobby at the time called Michael the "toughest son of a bitch they got." Even while restrained by Supernatural Handcuffs, he retained a tremendous amount of superhuman strength that allowed him to effortlessly overpower the fallen Seraphim Castiel, able to easily slam Castiel to a table with enough force to stun him and then effortlessly lift him overhead and restrain him firmly, with Castiel being unable to break out and having to resort to showing Michael the truth.
 * Telekinesis - Michael is a powerful telekinetic, able to move and control objects with his mind effortlessly; he was even able to move objects in areas where he hadn't fully arrived in. He demonstrated this when he closed and locked the door to the beautiful room when Adam tried to escape it.
 * Telepathy - Michael is able to read the thoughts of humans. When Castiel prayed to him, he was able to (off-screen) contact his brother to tell him where to meet him.
 * Empathy - Michael is able to read the emotions of humans.
 * Mental Manipulation - Michael can erase, restore, alter and fabricate the memories and perception of a human. He was able to erase John and Mary's memories of Anna Milton's attempt to kill them and with just a snap of his fingers, erased an entire diner's memories of him obliterating Lilith.
 * Sedation - Just like an average angel, Michael can sedate humans by touching their forehead.
 * Teleportation - Michael can travel from one place to another instantly, without occupying the space in between. He can also take people with him, in the blink of an eye. Although he can travel virtually anywhere in existence, he is unable to leave Lucifer's Cage once the door is closed, as it was designed to hold an Archangel. Like with Lucifer and Gabriel, Michael retains the power to teleport even after the Fall, as he was able to traverse the world at such high speeds that although Donatello could sense him, he was unable to give an accurate location and effortlessly teleported to Castiel's location. This is because Michael retains his wings unlike other angels.
 * Apporting - Michael could send angels back to Heaven with a simple snap of his fingers, as he did with the angel Uriel.
 * Terrakinesis - Michael is able to cause powerful earthquakes by thought or presence alone. When descending to a bar on Earth to speak to Zachariah, the bar began to quiver in a manner comparable to a full-fledged earthquake.[4] In his distress, Michael later causes the Men of Letters bunker to shake.[11]
 * Thermokinesis - He made the door knob to the beautiful room extremely hot to prevent Dean from being able to open it and save Adam.[4]
 * Weather Manipulation - Michael's control over the weather exceeds even his own brothers. Upon arriving on Earth to John Winchester, he caused sudden severe winds.
 * Portal Creation - With just a snap of his fingers, even while restrained by Supernatural Handcuffs, Michael was able to open a twelve-hour rift to Purgatory.[11]
 * Energy Blasts - Like his Apocalypse World counterpart, Michael is capable of throwing blasts of energy at his opponents.[12]
 * Nigh-Omniscience - Like his brothers, Michael has a deep understanding of many things, due to him being older than the universe itself, and as the oldest, his knowledge exceeded all his brothers. Michael was immediately aware of Anna's plan to put an end to the Apocalypse despite her having traveled to a different time in the past and picked the right moment to throw if off the rails. Even while locked in the Cage, he was aware that it was the Winchesters who released Lucifer and that his Archangel brothers have died but didn't know God has returned. He also knew about junk food being bad for humans, scolding Adam for eating burger, and could easily detect Castiel's prayer. Michael even knew of the spell that was used to trap the Darkness and surmised that with God weak from the Equalizer, he could be trapped with that spell.
 * Immortality - As the eldest archangel, Michael has an infinitely long lifespan. He is the first angel and has existed before the universe itself, making him well over 13.8 billion years old. The excessive passing of time does not degrade his vessel, like with all celestial beings. His vessel is unaffected by diseases and toxins. He does not tire, and does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain his vessel.
 * Invulnerability - Michael cannot be killed by any conventional weapon. Even Holy Fire was only able to banish him for a short time.[17] As an archangel, the only known weapons that can kill him are the Archangel Blades and his own Lance of Michael. He also withstood a blast from Lucifer without any injuries, only being temporarily knocked down, though admitted to being winded as he hadn't fought in such battles for millenia.
 * Immunity - Michael was resilient to Holy Fire, although he still found it agonizing, damaging and being able to banish him; but unlike other angels, it couldn't kill him.[17] Michael, just like Gabriel and Lucifer, proved immune to the spell Metatron used to cause the Fall, retaining his wings, and even proved to be able to retain a considerable amount of power when restrained with the Supernatural Handcuffs, as he was still easily stronger than Castiel even with the handcuffs on and was able to make the ground shake and open a rift to Purgatory.[11] Despite being weaker than his Apocalypse World counterpart, Michael's resistance to the handcuffs appears to be stronger as Alternate Michael was unable to use any of his powers in the handcuffs aside from mentally commanding his monsters

Harming, Misleading and Trapping

 * Enochian sigils - Even Michael cannot locate someone if they are warded by Enochian sigils.
 * Holy Fire - Holy fire can't kill Michael, but it can damage his vessel momentarily. Holy fire causes Michael quite a great deal of pain.[17] Following his escape from Hell, the Winchesters and Castiel were able to trap Michael in a ring of holy fire for long enough to put the Supernatural Handcuffs on him. It is unknown how long the holy fire could've held him without Michael being otherwise restrained.[11]
 * Lucifer's Cage - This cell can hold any angel, including Michael, without any internal means of escape.
 * Supernatural Handcuffs - Having been upgraded by Bobby Singer to hold Michael's Apocalypse World counterpart, the cuffs were capable of restraining Michael. Despite this, he retained some of his Super Strength even in the cuffs, easily overpowering the weaker Castiel and he was able to make the bunker shake when distressed. In addition, Michael, with just a snap of his fingers, opened a rift to Purgatory while the cuffs were still on. However, Michael could not remove the cuffs on his own and had to ask Dean to take them off.[11]
 * Ma'lak Box - Capable of trapping even the most powerful archangel for eternity.[34]

Beings

 * Primordial Entities - Primordial entities such as God, Death and the Darkness can effortlessly kill Michael. When angered by Michael's earlier betrayal of him, God effortlessly obliterated the archangel.[12]
 * Archangels - Michael can be harmed by his closest siblings. While he is much stronger than either Gabriel or Raphael, Lucifer was shown to be able to hurt him when he knocked him to the ground by one energy blast.[12]

Weapons

 * Archangel Blades - The only weapon capable of killing an archangel. The blade is only effective when wielded by another archangel.

John Winchester
John's attempts to act fatherly around Adam even trying to raise him normally, by teaching him pool and poker, taking him to ball games on his birthday, buying him his first beer at age 15, and teaching him how to drive The Impala, Adam never regarded John as his father and saw only his mother as family. Also, John never told Adam about his other children who likewise were unaware that John fathered another son.

Etymology

 * Adam - This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Akkadian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew אֲדָמָה ('adamah) "earth").
 * Milligan - The Milligan surname is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Patronymic Ó Maolagáin, or "descendant of Maolagán," which is composed of the element "maol," meaning "bald’."
