( and he said, ye world shall not end by yeself. )REVISIONSArchangel Power Umbrella Gabriel is an archangel - of a higher hierarchy then the principality Aziraphale. That said, thanks to dimension-hopping and his own complete disconnect from human nature he's had his powers nerfed. Being an Archangel in the Good Omens Universe means he has the following abilities:
Wings: Gabriel is a celestial being who can manifest wings. Rather then the traditional 2 he manifests 4 but he - and the other higher ranking angels consider exposing themselves in such a fashion
rude. He can't fly with them, they're mostly for show because he prefers to travel either by his own personal speed or lightning. He's a pigeon sans flight. Having
rarely left heaven (super rarely) he hasn't had the need to try nor would he. He wants to go down to earth he can do so by lightning. It just doesn't change his physical form.
He also won't eat or drink or sleep - and in fact will actively
resist those things. Food is for human beings, it's gross, it leads to gross bodily functions and honestly it's for
them. All he needs is grace.
IN MOMThanks to being here, he can't respawn and he'd die if shot or killed or poisoned or any of those things. Ordinarily he'd be immortal, here he'd die.
Miracles most angels can make things and do minor reality alterations. Aziraphale fixes Anathema's bike for instance. Miracles are supposed to benefit mankind but Gabriel
doesn't care. Consequently his abilities are - well.
Rusty. So rusty in fact they've atrophied. Yep. It's like a muscle and one he can no longer use.
Healing/Bringing People back to life While he
could do it in his world, this power has been completely nerfed and the last time he used it was probably before human history. Another atrophied muscle/ruined muscle thanks to dimension-hopping.
Heavenly Management/Bad Spider-Sense: What Gabriel lacks in miracle skills he makes up for in his "management sense". That's not what he calls it, but it's a danger sense that stems from her grace coupled with a sense of when things are off or wrong. It's a spider-sense, triggered by alterations or when things are dangerous. Being that he's a martial being, he'd then defend her creation -
But because he is
disconnected from her grace in his world, his ability will only work
correctly 50% of the time. (This will get a permission post.) Imagine Spider-Man swinging into a building expecting danger only to find - no one there and people staring at him like he's an idiot. The other half of the time there's danger and he'd use-
Super Speed Gabriel is the angel of messengers and charged with delivering her words to human beings, to angels, to everyone. He's
incredibly fast, as fast as lightning. Biblically, he's the angel of storms and wind. In Good Omens he travels via lightning and presumably can run as fast
as lightning. Not that he would do so unless it was
really important or he was
really pissed off and needed to get somewhere quickly.
Electrical Shock Jon Hamm as Barry Allen and as Pikachu? More likely then you think. Gabriel's lightning powers back home would be the kind of thing he could use to smite people (You should have seen what he and Micheal did to Sodom and Gomorrah.) Here however it's an electrical charge - an electric shock like a taser. This he is going to be
pissed to lose.
Essentially he loses what makes him a basic angel (miracles and healing), damages what makes him an archangel (heaven sense and connection to her), and keeps what makes him her soldier - his super speed and electrical shocks - and even then they're not that powerful.
Weaknesses: His weaknesses remain the same. He has no concept of the human condition. He has the awareness of a 10-14 year old of what it means to be a human. As an Angel, he's - essentially a company man. Part brainwashed soldier part smug arrogant son of a powerful person. He
knows he's beloved and that makes him arrogant and stupid.
