Crowley also beat a demon on the head with a crowbar, whose head was in a bag that had a painting of a devil's trap. He also effortlessly and brutally beat Meg, a middle-level demon.

||
| + | *'''Possession''' - Like all demons, Crowley requires a human host, living or deceased, to manifest himself on Earth. He has been known to possess five people besides Castiel: his usual vessel, Linda Tran, Sam, Andre Devlin, and Marnie. He was also able to possess a rat. |
||
| + | *'''Teleportation''' - Even before becoming King of Hell, Crowley could teleport himself and others over great distances with ease.

He can change his clothes in seconds, as shown when he teleports from a massage to Dean. |

| + | *'''Apporting''' - He once caused an angel blade to teleport into his hand and teleported Delta and Kevin Tran to another location by snapping his fingers. |
||
| + | *'''Telekinesis '''- As a demon, Crowley can move objects with his mind. He is shown to be very efficient at this and has telekinetically pinned, thrown, and trapped humans. He was able to destroy a street light by pointing at it. He also broke a girl's neck without touching her and lifted the future prophet Krista to a considerable height before using molecular combustion to bloodily obliterate her. Furthermore, he was able to throw Deputy Jenna Nickerson against a ceiling with enough force to kill her. Crowley has shown he can use this ability to control the physical movements of humans, such as when he forced a group of four men to shoot each other in Saudia Arabia with mere hand gestures. Crowley was able to use this ability on two separate occasions to knock Lucifer to the floor, once while the latter was in a weak vessel, and again in the Apocalypse World when Lucifer was caught off-guard.

Contrary to Azazel's claims in All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 2, Crowley may also have the power to resurrect the dead without a deal due to being King of Hell, as he claimed in Family Matters that he was the one who brought Samuel and Sam back to life; although his supposed resurrection of Sam was proven untrue, it was implied in The Man Who Would Be King that he did indeed bring Samuel back. He also resurrected Lucifer's old vessel, Nick, in order to have him act as the archangel's vessel once more. |

In Clip Show he cast a spell to kill Sarah Blake with a hex bag hidden in a hotel room's cordless phone and previously caused Tommy Collins' head to explode using a spell.

Trivia
- Crowley is similar to Lindsey McDonald from Angel and Cole Turner from Charmed, as the on and off villain of a monster of the week series.
- Crowley may have died in a ditch surrounded by his own vomit. In The Things We Left Behind, it's stated that [1] always said he'd die like that and when asked about how he did actually die, Crowley quickly changes the subject.
- In a deleted scene for Family Feud available on the season 12 box set, Gavin tells Rowena that Crowley ultimately drank himself to death when he was human.
- Crowley is the longest surviving and most recurring antagonist in the series, with his appearances rivaling that of Azazel's, Ruby's, and even Meg's
- Crowley is a third main character to be permanently killed off, following Ruby and Bela Talbot, who were main characters for Season 3.
- Crowley was among the multiple main antagonists of Season 6, the others being Raphael, Eve, and Castiel. He is also the main antagonist of Season 8. He served as an antagonist in Season 11 episode "Our Little World", after which he became an ally.
- Crowley's name, as well as his initial characterization as a snarky British demons trying to derail the Apocalypse, is similar to one of the main characters of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (called Anthony Crowley, who is coincidentally also a demon).
- Mark Sheppard, who portrays Crowley in Supernatural, suggested in an interview that Crowley may not even be a demon, although this was disproved in the eighth season when Crowley's red demonic cloud form and red eyes (when he possessed Linda Tran) were finally shown on-screen. And in season 10 his eyes were shown again via his original vessel.
- Crowley is the longest running antagonist for five seasons (two of which he is the main antagonist). However, he is notably the "weakest" main antagonist, as despite being the King of Hell, he is still a crossroads demon. Though, despite this, Crowley seems to not be easily killed and has obtained multiple means of killing angels, such as numerous angel blades and even angel bullets for guns, which arguably puts him on par with a regular angel now.
- Crowley is the most recurring demon in Supernatural, stealing the distinction from Ruby.
- Unusually, his true form's color is a dark red cloud rather than black like other demons, as shown in What's Up, Tiger Mommy?, Road Trip, Blade Runners, Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire, Hell's Angel, We Happy Few and All Along the Watchtower. This matches his eyes as his eyes are red due to being a King of the Crossroads previously. However, other demons with different eye colors do not match their true form, as shown with Azazel and Lilith.
- Crowley has assigned nicknames for Sam and Dean (which often reference Sam's height). For Sam, these include Giraffe, Gigantor, Jolly Green and (most commonly) Moose. He has also given Dean the nickname: Squirrel, and the name "Not Moose" in his contact list on his phone. Their respective "Squirrel" and "Moose" nicknames are a reference to Rocky and Bullwinkle, who are called "Moose and Squirrel" by their antagonists. In the episode Inside Man Dean combats this by replying "Boris. Where's Natasha?" referring to Rocky and Bullwinkle's nemesis: Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatele.
- He is the third character to be the main antagonist for two seasons, the first being Azazel and the second being Lilith; however, he is the first one to have a break seventh season between those two seasons in which he is not the main threat and to survive even after the second season that he was the primary villain.
- He is the second demon whose past as a human has been revealed the first being Ruby.
- In Weekend at Bobby's, he reveals that his favorite alcoholic drink is Craig scotch, aged at least thirty years.
- It is implied that Crowley and the angel Naomi had a sexual relationship in Mesopotamia.
- This pairing is the second known angel and demon relationships besides Castiel and Meg.
- He is also hinted to have been in a relationship with Billie.
- Crowley also claims he owns "the real Mona Lisa" and to some extent Alaska.
- When Crowley calls the brothers, the number 666 flashes on the phone's screen. 666 is usually a number associated with the Devil. He also uses a devil emoticon while texting Sam.
- Crowley's ringtone is Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-lot.
- Crowley has been shown to be very good with obscure or difficult languages: he is fluent in Enochian and knows Elamite Cuneiform.
- Crowley, along with Azazel (who possessed Tessa), is the only known demon to possess someone at the same time as an angel.
- Crowley has stated that the host he uses most frequently is a "moderately successful" literary agent from New York.
- Crowley seems to have an affinity for Adolf Hitler and/or the Nazi Party. In Abandon All Hope... he is seen watching Nazi silent films in his mansion and in the Man Who Would Be King a Hitler-esque portrait of Crowley in a Nazi uniform with a Devil's Trident in place on his wrist band in place of a swastika was visible in Crowley's new and improved Hell. He also showed Amara Hitler speeches to "educate" her.
- Crowley has so far possessed six individuals: A "moderately successful" literary agent from New York (his most common vessel, Linda Tran, Sam, Andre Devlin, Marnie and Castiel. However, he only possessed Linda to get the demon tablet and Kevin, possessed Sam to warn him about Gadreel, possessed Andre only to get information, possessed Marnie to get in contact with his minions so they could secure his first vessel and break Rowena's immobilization spell on it, and possessed Castiel to try and bring him to expel Lucifer from his vessel.
- Crowley, self-admittedly evil, states he has no virtues, but this is not strictly true. He has exhibited Ambition (striving to ascend to becoming the King of Hell, Diligence (delegating a lot of duties to his underlings and taking up tasks himself frequently), Honesty (while he enjoys loopholes, he demands that all demons honor their deals and maintain "consumer confidence" as well as integrity), Loyalty (he is not prone to betraying those with whom he makes alliances, something he calls out Castiel for doing) and Responsibility (commanding Hell's forces and fighting for the interests of all demons at heart as well as his own). However, Crowley has not truly exhibited patience.
- His name may be a reference to Aleister Crowley, an English Occultist, creator and self-proclaimed prophet of the religion Thelema who was born in 1875. He was denounced in the popular press as "the wickedest man in the world" and sometimes labelled a Satanist.
- His name also links to the crow, the bird of death, though this is unlikely connected to his character name and merely an amusing observation.
- When Gavin learned that his father had become a demon, Crowley quipped, "A lot can change in 291 years, "King of the Damned" implying that he had died as a human that many years ago. Assuming that the episode "King of the Damned" in which this information was revealed took place around the same time as its air-date (May 6, 2014), that would mean that Crowley died around the year 1723 and at around the age of 62, as he was born in 1661.
- Crowley displayed a possible fondness for Kevin Tran: when informed of his death, Crowley told Dean he warned Kevin it would happen if he didn't leave.
- While it is not known if his vessel was ever alive or was dead the entire time, after the events of "Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire", his vessel is dead for sure as Castiel stabbed it with an angel blade after Crowley vacated it. Despite this, Crowley was still able to return to his vessel, so it may have been dead the entire time.
- Like Meg and Abaddon, Crowley displays a fondness for a particular vessel, always returning to his usual form even after vacating the body for various reasons. Even after he was forced to flee his body in "Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire", Crowley had his demons remove the spell immobilizing his form rather than find a new vessel.
- When talking to Lucifer face-to-face, Crowley defined himself as "a mere acolyte, carrying Lucifer's torch", possibly indicating that Crowley holds some admiration for Lucifer's disturbed ideology and ways. However, this suspect gesture of humbleness may be just a product of Crowley's fear of the Devil, which makes pretty much sense, given that Crowley displayed to fear even the much weaker (than Lucifer) demon Cain very much.
- From his birth in 1661 to his death as a demon in 2017, Crowley was 356 years old.
- Mark Sheppard has expressed displeasure in his character's death scene in Season 12. Many fans have also expressed anger at the unfair treatment towards a long-lasting character and actor. Since leaving, Sheppard has ruled out ever wanting to return to the show.
- Along with playing Crowley, Mark Sheppard also played the demon Arnon in the show Charmed.
- Season 12 is the only season Crowley has appeared in where he does not have a villainous role in at least one episode.
