In Judeo - Christian theology , angel are godlike servants of God who live in Heaven . This is true of angels in pop refinement as well … but sometimes they ’re also dicks . For some understanding , TV show , movies , comic , and more are obsess with the idea of these heavenly beingness embody humanity at its worst . How many angels can be jerk on the head of a pin ? Well , here are at least a dozen .
Zera, Spawn
There are a few Angels in Todd McFarlane ’s Spawn comic , and most of them seem to be cleavage - bare cleaning woman . What countersink Zera apart from Angels like Angela and Tiffany is the fact that — despite being an angel — she ’s completely insane and a homicidal maniac . God keeps her imprisoned , jog her out the few times he postulate someone kill , which is of course a whole reasonable thing for an almighty being to do . Her bloodlust is so great it can actually turn into what is fundamentally a holy yeti that breathes fire .
Bartleby, Dogma
Kevin Smith ’s moving picture Dogma has its fan and its detractors , but one matter everyone agrees on is that it ’s about two fallen holy man , Bartleby and Loki , who get exiled to Earth for getting intoxicated and raising hell ( metaphorically verbalize ) . Bartleby ( Ben Affleck ) and Loki ( Matt Damon ) concoct a plan to get back into heaven by being in a Modern church as its re - dedicated , which is a variety of Catholic “ Get out of gaol / Earth free ” card . But if they ’re admitted back to heaven after God banished them , that make God incorrect , and the creation fundamentally imploded . Once he expose this modest flaw in their plan , Loki immediately quits , but an wild Bartleby decides to see it through , which is a full jerky move . Also he kills a bunch of multitude .
Gabriel, Legion and Dominion
Not that I really want god-fearing Christians to condemn every single pic that take a non - traditional flavor at Judeo - Christianity , but I have to inquire where the hoi polloi who freaked out about Dogma were when Legion was made . This is a moving picture where a pregnant waitress play by Adrianne Palicki is going to have a kid who save human beings . The problem is that God himself does n’t want humanity saved — he ’s kind of gruesome of us — and thus he mail his Angels , lead by Gabriel , to murder an unborn child . Not cool , heaven ! In the bizarre TV sequel territorial dominion , place 25 years after the moving picture in a semi - post - apocalypse , Gabriel is still trying to kill all man , although at least God has the decency to have die missing .
Angels of the Tenth Realm, Marvel Comics
These guys are uncanny . They ’re angels — they have wing , and they hold out in a place send for “ Hevan”—but somehow they ’re part of Marvel ’s Scandinavian mythology . They live in the previously unknown Tenth Realm , which was lock off by Odin because … well , because the holy man were all assholes , really . They ’re selfish , they ’re conceited , and they ’re vindictive as blaze ( no pun ) , and they ’re very pro - baby murder , as you’re able to see above . If you ’re wondering whether Angela , the former Spawn fiber of late bring into the Marvel universe , is one of these angels , she indeed cerebrate she was … but it turns out she was Thor ’s sister . Sure !
Gabriel, Constantine
If you want a jerk angel in your tarradiddle , Gabriel is plainly the angel to pick . This Gabriel , play by Tilda Swinton in the 2005 Keanu Reeves film , seems enigmatic but is still a Brobdingnagian arse . The androgynous angel ’s plan is to help Satan ’s Logos Mannon take over Earth so that man , uh … have a chance to die for a proficient reason and get into heaven ? It does n’t seem especially well thought out . Even if Gabriel ’s motive are virgin — and they almost sure enough are not — he / she still savagely murdered Constantine ’s buddy Chas when Constantine tried to hold on blaze from literally being on Earth . Yes , Chas was play by Shia LaBoeuf , but it was before the Transformers movies and his weirdness , so at the time it was kind of a disgrace .
Manny, Constantine
We still lament the flawed but charming Constantine TV series , primarily because when the show ’s first season ended , we pick up that Manny — the angel supposedly sent to watch over Constantine and ( sort of ) help him in his struggle against the Rising iniquity — was in reality turn for the Rising Darkness the whole time . We do n’t know why ; we do n’t even know if Manny was actually an angel that had Heaven fooled , a demon in disguise , a fallen angel , or what . All we know is that he put Constantine through some serious brokenheartedness and was lie to his face the intact sentence .
Zadkiel, Marvel Comics
Much like Zera in Spawn , Zadkiel is God ’s personal backer warrior who is shockingly efficient at killing thing and does n’t deal much ( or at all ) about humanity . Unlike Zera , Zadkiel thinks he can do a better job than God at govern the population ( also , Zadkiel gets a much less revealing outfit than Zera ) . Using a couple of Ghost Riders as unwitting pawn , Zadkiel actually did manage to take over heaven … for a while .
Kaworu, Evangelion
The Angels of Evangelion are generally bizarre monster roll from elephantine android to weird sphere that actually only subsist in their shadow . It ’s hard to typify them as jerks , just like its hard to see the demon Godzilla fight as jerks . But Kaworu , who appears and work just like a human , does n’t have this problem . He arrive in Tokyo-3 , gets into NERV ’s Evangelion programme , and befriend the psychologically damaged protagonist Shinji , knowing that he ’s lead to shit him later . Yes , it appears that Kaworu really cares for Shinji , particularly when he essentially permit Shinji to catch him with his EVA Unit , but this still pressure Shinji into a berth where he has to brutally murder his best ( only ? ) friend . The fact that the acquaintance let him makes the situation bad , so it ’s definitely a jerked meat matter to do . Killing Kaworu is the last straw that sends Shinji spiral into insanity and , depending on which version of Evangelion you ’re see , destroying the world .
Gabriel, The Prophecy
Another Gabriel ? You bet ! This one is played by Christopher Walken , so you know he ’s up to no goodness . In this 1995 movie , there ’s an Angel Civil War , and Gabriel wants to overthrow the current regime and take over , which even Lucifer knows is a bad mind since heaven will basically become a second inferno ( which is unfit for business concern ) . The fact that Gabriel demand a “ dark soulfulness ” of a Korean state of war vet who institutionalize war crimes does not seem to bother him . Also , we find out in the 2nd Prophecy picture , in which Walken ’s Gabriel tries again to win the Angel Civil War that he started , that 1 ) no soulfulness has been allowed to record heaven since Gabriel revolted , which sucks for all the dead mass , and 2 ) the whole reason Gabriel is fundamentally tearing all of theological system apart is because God stopped talking to him and he feels bad .
Pyrial, The Prophecy 3: The Ascent
So this villain of the third Prophecy movie is yet another saint who want to take over heaven . He ’s known as “ The Angel of Genocide , ” which I recollect pretty much says everything you need to screw about him . Again , I finger a literal Angel Falls of racial extermination is importantly more sacrilegious than anything that happened in Dogma .
Amenadiel, Lucifer
In the world of DC Comics ( and the world of Vertigo , which sort of overlaps with it ) , Lucifer is a pretty shudder dude . Sure , he give up his caper as king of hell and that caused a bit of a pickle , but it all crop out and he ’s run a pianoforte couch in Los Angeles . But the holy person Amenadiel has never forgive Lucifer for betray God , and he keeps looking for ways to make the devil pay — which never , ever work out . Lucifer is too chic , and Amenadiel is too slow , and every prison term the angel blows it , he get raging and stupider , to the point where he actually occupy L.A. with an angelic host . the great unwashed died . Suffice it to say Amenadiel is all about his ego , and not about fighting evil .
Basically Every Single Angel on Supernatural
I honestly do n’t mean this to be a pun , but holy shit . There is no serial with a more obvious anti - angel agenda than The CW ’s long - running Supernatural . The dainty Angel Falls of the bunch of Castiel , who help oneself the protagonists Sam and Dean push the forces of evil , but is still wholly cool with basically torturing a child to get information when necessary . The 2d least horrible angel is Gabriel ( him again ) who not only spent C masquerading as Loki , but trapped Sam in a pocket universe where he was ram to witness the death of his brother 100 time . That ’s the second nice !
The rest do n’t even seek to be nice , and its clear they almost always call back of humans as humans think of cockroach — incredibly beneath them and wholly gross . They kill humans without compunction ( one especially awing angel , Zachariah , even gives Dean fatal stomach cancer and remove Sam ’s lungs for a few minutes just to make a full stop — you may see it in the video above ) . In fact , in the series ’ first half , most of the angel basically require Satan to escape from Hell so the Book of Revelation can happen , partially to get it over with , but mainly because they ’re world-weary — despite the fact that half of humanity would almost certainly die . Another backer , Metatron , managed to pour down a set of innocent multitude in his ( quite successful ! ) bid to take over heaven , as well as a bunch of angels . Metatron also turn Angel into suicide hero sandwich , which is totally goddamned insane . Angel suicide bombers . Do not ever pray in Supernatural .
