Man, I love a good villain. Seriously, there is nothing better in my book. But of all the villains Supernatural has given us over the years, Abaddon is my favorite female villain. Here are some reasons to love and appreciate Abaddon.
She’s seriously wicked. All she wants is to cause terror and destruction and she does so with a smile.
She’s a Knight of Hell. That mean’s she’s one of the oldest demons on the planet and was trained by Lucifer himself.
She infiltrated the American Men of Letters and waited for her opportunity to strike before she went after them. She succeeded in essentially destroying the entire chapter and leaving it inactive for decades.
While Crowley was fine with allowing demons to hedge their bets, she sure as hell wasn’t. She killed demons who refused to follow her or tried to switch sides.
She forced Cain to kill his wife. That’s just cruel. (And obviously, that’s a bad thing.)
She could only be killed by the first blade if the wielder of the blade had the Mark of Cain.
She killed Henry Winchester. (Again, not a good thing but she’s a villain so that’s what she’s supposed to do.)
She actually has a bit of a sense of humor. She stole the outfit off someone she killed because she liked the “the Devil made me do it” shirt. That’s a little funny.
She found a somewhat efficient way of capturing souls in jars to make demons without waiting from demon deals to come due.
Her attempted manipulate Crowley with his son, Gavin, kinda worked. She read him pretty well.
She can’t be exorcized.
She can also insert part of her demon form into a person and read their memories.
She can manipulate fire, move her own dismembered body parts, and cause electronics to malfunction.
Holy fire can injure her but no kill her.
More than anything, Abaddon was a fun villain. She was a real threat who couldn’t be reasoned with or killed easily. All she wanted was death and destruction just for the fun of it and that is always enjoyable to see. She was wicked, cruel, and delightfully malicious.
