They are basically a trophy. A dangerous one. One that could potentially be used. I'm willing to bet that if John decided to break into wherever Paul keeps the Spear of Destiny and take it to be used in some sort of ritual that would permanently consume it, Paul would be very upset.

The wings belong to John by right of conquest. He fought and bled for them. He is responsible for them. Just using them without his consent or a significant compensation is not a proper thing to do. At all.
I'd argue that the Spear is a different kettle of fish entirely, and can't be compared to Gabriel's Wings.
also I'd be willing to bet that the new lord of order and chaos will be just fine with OL sticking it to Hell using his patented Planned Chaos Methodology, maybe a little annoyed he wasn't asked first but the outcome is something that he'd call a win so it's ok.
 
My interpretation is that one of them did, the other thought so but was deluding themselves. It was like "We're not torturing you for fun, we're torturing you to make you better people." Although the 'clients' did not appear to appreciate this improvement.
IIRC, DC Hell is governed by the Unspoken Principle, that you are free to leave whenever you choose.
 
I'm sure the ritual will succeed or fail interestingly, but Blaze would be screwed here is something both Vertigo and NE would agree on.

Angelic power makes humans go boom.

The Spectre uses dead humans as hosts because living hosts will spontaneously combust.

And in Books of Magic, an occultist geneticist tried to make a good virus that worked by writing the name of the angel Enoch in the code of human DNA.

The result was an angel flu that ends with spontaneous human combustion.

Now don't ask me why angelic power burns people out when infernal and divine power are just fine for human consumption.

Perhaps its cosmic copyright protection?
 
Ehh? So He'll isn't Christian then? Or have those missionaries got rockets? Or are Christians aliens? Does that make the angels/devils distinct from other gods/elementals?
Assuming that the First was telling the truth, Hell grew up around him after he was cast out for saying that free will was a terrible idea. That would make it far older than Christianity.
Actually, you changed the "an" to "a", but still need to change "involved" to "involving".
Thank you, corrected.

Would justify why EVERYONE wanted the key then. Having not read Hellblazer though, who did he say that to? The Source?

Oh no doubt, I felt sorry for Enoch, but she was all "Tim, you will become an angel, the fact that the angel flu will wipe out the human race is just an unfortunate sacrifice for the greater good."

So Tim made her human, so the angel flu would stop trying to make people into angels.

In Great Britain there's a cute blonde gal probably homeless going 'I used to be an angel" like Christopher Walken in the Prophecy.
 
Aren't wings John's property? John who could surely use them for something important. How would OL compensate him? Hell, how would Paul even get them - I am fairly sure he's not going to burglarize John's workshop for this. Plus, Paul doesn't have a reliable supply of angel feathers to make into ammunition.
And... Are you making Blaze into Preacher!Genesis?
Nono, doing this gives us an infinite supply of feathers, because after we attach them to Blaze they grow back!
"OW, quit it." "Sorry. Need ammo." "Godda--" "--CAREFUL!" "... bless your heart."

"Recognised, Orange Lantern, B Zero Six, Angelica Blaze, A Four Three."

I grin at my friends, my arms spread wide as I walk across the Mountain's training area to embrace them. "Guess who's baaaaaack?!"
Wait, Oh El was chatting with Art and Wally that morning. Then he shows up at the mountain with a strange, beautiful, woman?

Oh this could go so wrong
 
Didn't see that coming. And are we sure John wouldn't object?
Don't know, but whoever took over the "Gabriel" role as God's Messenger might.

It stands to reason that Heaven can't let a scandal like Gab's go unpunished, but in order to save face, it's likely that they would have someone to take his place to hear/address all the spells and prayers that would normally call upon the old Gabriel.

Can't let the mortal "children" see that one of the archangels became such a ruined mess!

I'm kind of curious what will happen if word of OL's habit of altering Demonic natures to more beneficial ones will reach Raven and how she'll react.

Let's keep the racism down a notch.

In a setting where the supernatural is tangible, Angels are people too. You get your pleasant and unpleasant bunch no matter what species you belong to.

Putting them ALL in one box because of how the cynics who wrote Hellblazer and Lucifer portrayed them, and focusing on the negative aspects of what religion says about them, just seems a little narrow-minded to me.
