Films: Legion (2010)

Alias: Various, notably Gabriel

Type: Mystical

Location: Civilized Area/Desert

Height/Weight: That of average humans.

Affiliation: Neutral

Summary: Once again, a being from the Heavens throws a hissy fit and decides that humanity has had its chance. And this time, there are no demons necessary. As it turns out, angels can be just as conniving and murderous as the ones dwelling below.

History: Archangel Gabriel has decided that mankind must be destroyed. He’s rallied almost all angels in Heaven to his cause, and they proceed to possess people to become an army of unstoppable ghouls. But one angel, Michael, doesn’t believe in all of this nonsense, and decides to find the one hope the human race has. That is, a random pregnant woman at a diner who will give birth to humanity's savior. Naturally, Gabriel and his minions cannot have this.

Notable Kills: Nothing special.

Final Fate: After most of the possessed are killed by an explosion, Gabriel seemingly manages to kill Michael...only for him to come back from Heaven to tell him that this was all a test from God, and Gabriel failed hard. Naturally, Gabe feels a bit bad about this, and leaves. After Michael departs, so too does the chosen one and her baby.

Powers/Abilities: The possessed can contort and move around in amazingly agile and uncomfortable ways. Gabriel wields a chainsaw-mace.

Weakness: Anything conventional for the possessed. Angels need other angels to bring them down.

Scariness Factor: 3.5-There is admittingly nothing scary about a crazy grannie screeching and bouncing off the walls. That's just ridiculous. Some of the possessed have similar problems, and the CGI certainly doesn't help. Still, the way some of them twist their bodies isn't fun to look at. As for Gabriel, he's a selfish pretty boy with metal wings that doomed humanity for reasons not unlike Lucifer. So there's that.

Trivia: -Gabriel was played by Kevin Durand, a former comedian whose film career mostly consisted of bloated box office bombs like this one, with the occasional success here and there.

-Syfy produced a sequel series to this in 2014 called "Dominion", which takes place more than two decades after the events of the film. It was canned after only two seasons one year later.
