| ~ Eve |
Eve was an ancient creature who was imprisoned in Purgatory long ago by God for an unknown purpose. She is the secondary antagonist of season 6 of The CW fantasy TV series Supernatural. Despite having the same name, Eve has nothing to do with God's first woman created in the Garden of Eden.
Eve is also a Leviathan-relative, and as the Mother of All Monsters, she was probably alive since before the creation of Hell. She mentioned knowing God, which probably makes her a celestial being like God, The Darkness, and The Shadow. After her vessel was destroyed by the Winchesters with phoenix ashes, her soul returned to existence in Purgatory.
She was portrayed by Julia Maxwell.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Eve was known as the "Mother of All Monsters", and was extremely ancient and powerful. All types of monster, such as Vampires, Werewolves, Dragons, Shapeshifters, Rugaru, Wendigo, and Kitsunes were created by her. Being older than the eldest races (angels and souls) she could know their weaknesses and neutralize them, such as when Castiel lost his powers when he was near her. She herself created the Alphas, the first, and the most powerful of all monster, who went on to create the majority of their races.
It is unknown of her relation to the Leviathans, yet the Leviathan possessing Edgar described her as a "whore" and unworthy of being related to the Leviathans. The Leviathans hated every other creature, including Eve, but due to certain similarities Eve may be a relation of theirs.
Return to Earth[]
Eve was originally content with humans and her monsters coexisting, believing it is part of the Natural Order for them to kill each other every so often. However, when Crowley began killing her monsters in droves in order to locate Purgatory so he can tap into its soul power, this act angered Eve. She telepathically warned her fellow monster children to prepare for her arrival. As such, monster sightings began to increase due to them propagating their numbers in large amounts. This is also done so their souls go to Purgatory upon death, and not to either Heaven or Hell, which will deny Crowley any souls that may enter Hell. Even monsters that were dormant for so long, they were considered legendary, began to be sighted on Earth; most notably the dragons.
These dragons assume human form and begin abducting young female humans to serve as Eve's vessel for when she arrives. Sam and Dean Winchester locate a legendary dragon killing sword and kill several dragons with it, impeding their plan. However, the dragons regroup and successfully sacrifice a young girl to Eve, who possesses her; allowing Eve to walk Earth.
Eve begins to set her plans into motion. She created several new monsters; one being called a Khan Worm, which she implants into a truck driver who then later murders his family. After the Khan worm left its host, it began claiming more hosts, leaving a trail of dead bodies in its wake that Sam, Dean, Bobby and the rest of the Campbell family follow. They successfully kill the Khan worm, but not before it uses Bobby to kill Rufus, and Dean to kill his own cousin.
Eve later arrives in a bar and begin touching everybody into the bar, infecting them and turning them into a new species of monster she has propagated; the "Jefferson Starships" as they are later called by Dean. At the bar, the Jefferson Starships begin to attack and mail the remaining humans to death, all while Eve sits on the bar and drinks a glass of wine, enjoying the carnage she has caused.
Sam and Dean learn that Eve is weak against the ashes of a Phoenix; a monster she created years ago that somehow became toxic to her. However, the last Phoenix went extinct in the early 19th century. Using a powerful spell, Castiel sends Sam and Dean to 19th century America where the last Phoenix is located; who is posing as an ordinary human. Using the Colt, Dean kills the Phoenix and goes to collects its ashes, but he and Sam are pulled back to the present due to the limitations of the spell. However, the ashes are delivered to them by the estate of Samuel Colt, who had assisted Sam and Dean in killing the Phoenix, and had collected the ashes and kept them for over 160 years until they can be delivered.
Defeat[]
Now armed with the ashes, Sam, Dean and Castiel arrive at the bar where Eve has claimed as her headquarters. They are subdued by the Jefferson Starships posted at the bar, and Eve even strips Castiel of his powers, rendering him powerless. Eve explains that she is simply looking out for her children since Crowley and Castiel began to kill large numbers of them in droves. Dean goads Eve into biting him and ingesting his blood, which she does. However, she begins to spasm and exude black goo before exploding and leaving behind her vessel’s corpse; Dean had ingested the Phoenix’s ashes. His powers returning, Castiel uses them to kill the Jefferson Starships at the bar. Crowley arrives and reveals that he wiped out the remaining Jefferson Starships, permanently ending that species of monster for good. After this, her soul went to Purgatory again.
Eve's eggs
Eve's vessel was later taken by Crowley's demons, who then performed an autopsy of the body, revealing heavy alterations to the host body, which included several hundreds of monster eggs, that she was carrying in her womb.
Legacy[]
Eve lingered on in Season 7 in the series, when Edgar, Dick Roman's right-hand man, discussed mortal combat with their enemies, the vampires. The Alpha Vampire said he was the son of Eve, and which the Leviathan said "Barely. A slut, not worthy of us. I knew Eve, and, frankly, your mummy was a whore." The original vampire was furious and attacked, but the stronger Leviathan beat him down, Sam decapitated the Leviathan and incapacitated him, thus saving the Alpha.
In season 15, after returning to Purgatory to get a Leviathan Blossom in order to lock God away, Dean and Castiel are hunted by Leviathans working for a vengeful Eve. Though Castiel is captured, he is able to escape with the flower and return to Earth with Dean without the two ever encountering Eve again.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
To manifest on Earth, Eve required the use of a vessel, specifically a virgin female. Her true face can be seen through the use of cameras, where it appears quite decrepit and rotted; cameras may have difficulty recording her and the screen may be disrupted by static. Her presence within a host body alters its physiology, causing it to continuously produce monster eggs even after the expulsion of Eve's essence and physical death of the host. Similar to the Leviathan, Eve has black blood, although her blood is less thick and more watery.
- Immortality: Eve was immortal and could not die of disease or old age. She referred to herself as being older than even the angels.
- Invulnerability: Eve was presumed to be immune to most forms of conventional harm and the only documented method for harming her was with the ashes of a phoenix.
- Regeneration: Eve can evidently regenerate from damage sustained on her body. When she took over her vessel and was released from Purgatory, Eve's arms and legs were covered in severe burns, however she later reappeared completely restored.
- Superhuman Strength: Eve possessed a measure of superhuman strength, seen when she ripped off the lock and handles from a door to prevent her future victims from escaping. She was self-assured enough to claim that she would take care of the demon Crowley if she was to find him.
- Superhuman Speed: Eve could evidently move at inhuman speeds. She displayed this by instantly running behind Dean while having been talking to him face to face less than a second before and when she appeared out of nowhere behind a truck driver.
- Heightened Senses: Eve's senses were superhumanly acute, seeing as she managed to realize that Dean and Sam had imbued their shotguns with ammunition laced with phoenix ash by simply smelling the barrels of their weapons.
- Advanced Biokinesis: Eve's signature ability was her production of unique supernatural chemical formulas, with which she could to turn humans into monsters — vampires, ghouls, werewolves, rugarus and the like. She could even create new monster species by means of experimentation. However, she apparently needed to perfect this ability when attempting to produce a new kind of monster, seeing as how a number of her creations died prematurely before she eventually succeeded in building what she deemed "the perfect beast" and she dismissed these failures as "beta tests." Eve seemed to require physical contact (e.g a bite, a kiss, or even a gentle touch) in order to induce such changes in individuals herself.
- Conversion: As a side effect of her conversion, the souls of Eve's victims were altered and when they die their soul goes to neither Heaven nor Hell, but instead is redirected straight to Purgatory.
- Monster Birthing: The womb of Eve's vessel was biologically altered to continuously produce and incubate hundreds, if not thousands, of monster eggs, even after the death of both Eve and the host. Eve could release her creations through her mouth.
- Psychic Connection to Monsters: All of Eve's creations and their own progeny were psychically connected to her, and she could use this link to to send them messages and forcibly compel them to do her bidding, even while imprisoned in Purgatory. She in turn sees through the eyes of all monsters, hears what they hear, and knows what they know; Lenore compared it to being like a video camera for Eve. Even after Eve's demise, monsters are apparently still bonded to her vessel's cerebral cortex, as when Crowley inserted an electric probe into her head, a nearby restrained vampire reacted in agony. Due to being created by Eve directly, her firstborns bear a stronger psychic connection to her.
- Shapeshifting: Eve could instantaneously modulate her form at will. At one point, she modified her vessel's appearance to look and sound exactly like Mary Winchester.
- Flight: Once she took her vessel, she rose out from the depths Purgatory.
- Possession: To once again walk the Earth, Eve required the use a vessel and that vessel apparently had to be a virgin girl. Her presence within a host body also altered its physiology (i.e. black blood and a highly mutated womb).
- Angelic Power Negation: Due to her advanced age and knowledge over an angel's inner mechanisms, Eve was able to block high-ranking angelic beings from accessing their powers by 'unplugging' them as shown when she negated Castiel's abilities through her mere presence.
- Supernatural Concealment: Eve was able to conceal her presence from the watch of Castiel and any other angel. Thus the Winchester brothers and their allies had to rely on the willing testimony of a monster ally to know her whereabouts.
Weaknesses[]
- Phoenix Ash: Lore states that the "ashes of a Phoenix can burn the Mother". The reason for this is because the phoenix are akin to cancer for Eve; the progenitor of the phoenix race was born from her body, but it was toxic to her and she cast it out. This was later proven after Eve unintentionally ingested phoenix ash, and it ultimately killed Eve and, presumably, banished her essence back to Purgatory.
Trivia[]
- According to Andrew Dabb in Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 6, the phoenix is like a cancer. It was born from Eve's body but it's toxic to her. She cast it out, and they are hated by all monsters because they are poisonous to their mother. The phoenix and its descendants have therefore been on the run for thousands of years.
- In Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting, Dr. Visyak wrote that the dragon-killing swords were forged with the blood of Hypolyes, a dragon who willingly sacrificed his life to help Eve, who realized her dragons were so powerful that they could destroy the rest of the monsters.
