In fact, Dean sacrifices himself on multiple occasions to save the people he loves. While it’s fun to see other alternate forms of Dean Winchester, it’s nothing like the fun-loving Hunter audiences got to know over the course of Supernaturals 15 seasons.

First Aired: Season 5, Episode 4 “The End”

French error judgment
First aired: Season 6, Episode 15 “The French Mistake”
“The French Error” is a fan favorite Supernatural Episode that sees Sam and Dean get transported to an alternate reality after an attack by one of Raphael’s angelic henchmen. When they arrive in this reality, Sam and Dean realize that they are actors “Jensen Ackles” and “Jared Padalecki” and star in a show called Supernatural. This episode is incredibly meta and pokes fun at many of the behind-the-scenes players of Supernatural As well as actors like Ackles, Padalecki and Misha Collins, who portrays Castiel.
“The French Error” does not portray a new version of Dean Winchester, but it sees the Dean Winchester that the audience knows in a reality where he must pretend to be an actor pretending to be Dean Winchester. Seeing the issues that Sam and Dean run into in a reality without magic is hilarious, especially when the Angel Assassin realizes that he is powerless in that reality as well. Although, unfortunately, the fictional version of Misha Collins was killed off, it makes for hilarious television and is a Great example of how Supernatural Consistently one-upped myself when it came to trying new things.

Demon Dean
First aired: Season 9, Episode 23 “Do You Believe in Miracles?”
throughout Supernatural Season 9 Dean struggles with the Mark of Cain and his instincts call him to kill. At the end of the season, Dean is killed in a battle with the wayward angel Metatron but is revived by the demon Crowley (Mark Shepperd) using the First Blade. Because Dean had the mark of Cain he was revived as a demon. While Supernatural Season 9 ended on the image of Dean’s black eyes, it would be until season 10 that audiences got to know what was actually happening to Dean.
Dean as a Demon is much like regular Dean but without a moral compass, and much darker. While Dean always has an evil streak in him, Demon Dean has no qualms about going straight to that dark place. Dean is only saved once he takes on Sam and is captured with holy water and handcuffs carved with a devil’s trap symbol. Once back in the bunker, Sam tries to heal Dean, though he eventually breaks free and tries to kill his younger brother. Sam is only saved when Castiel arrives and overpowers Demon Dean.

Scoobinatural thin
First aired: Season 13, Episode 16 “Scoobinnatural”
“Scoobinnatural” was an extremely fun episode simply because it saw Dean, Sam, and Castiel get sacked in an episode of Scooby-doo and interact with Mystery Inc. Letters. Seeing the characters that audiences know and love in animated form is pretty hilarious, and even though the audience didn’t get to see a new version of Dean, he was in an alternate reality where he looked different. Dean clearly loved it Scooby-doo As a child and knew exactly how the episode they were supposed to go; However, when they were actually murdered, it was his, Sam’s and Castiel’s time to shine.
Dean trying to attract Daphne’s attention throughout the episode is pretty hilariousEspecially when you consider that Daphne is not a real person. However, it was Sam and Dean’s compassion about not letting the Scooby gang know that ghosts and monsters are real that made this episode a success. Den, primarily, was determined not to destroy the paths of the characters. While Dean got help from Castiel’s angelic healing power, it was funny to see Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby freaking out about real monsters for a moment.

HunterCorp Dean
First aired: Season 15, Episode 13 “Destiny’s Child”
in Supernatural Season 15, it is revealed that Chuck, as God has multiple different universes where he experimented with his “actors” Sam and Dean. In one of the alternatives Supernatural Universes, Sam and Dean are incompetent hunters who work for their father John and drive a Fiat. It’s an interesting look to see how people like Sam and Dean would be if the world knew that monsters were real, but also if John Winchester was a good father.
Although audiences don’t see much of the HunterCorp versions of Sam and Dean, it was an interesting addition to the series Supernaturals final season. To see Sam and Dean being more proper and actively looking down on the other versions of themselves is funny, but also because it shows how crazy the lifestyles of both characters are. Dean seems dismayed that his alternate version doesn’t like beer. Over the 15 seasons of SupernaturalNot all of the alternate Deans may be remembered by audiences, but they are all important to inform his character growth.
