Who is considered the most powerful species in the Star Trek Universe?



Who is considered to be the most powerful species in the Star Trek Universe? We know the Borg are powerful but they can be beaten by species 8472, but species 8472 can be beaten by the Federation (Not really a species more of a group of species) and then the Federation can be beaten by the Borg, it is a vicious circle but what about other species in the galaxy could any of them be more powerful? Some people might say 'Q' but is 'Q' really a species or a mystical force?


I was going to edit this question to exclude 'Q' from it, but there are some species that even 'Q' is scared of for example Guinan's species. In the episode 'Q Who' 'Q' tells Picard that she is a danger to the crew, but 'Q' is scared and becomes agitated by Guinans presence. This is backed up by wiki under plot



Guinan confronts Q who becomes agitated and is forced to reveal the reason why he is on the Enterprise'



So is 'Q' really the most powerful species or is Guinan's species more powerful?



Answer






  1. Q are a race of aliens.



    Super-race able to change matter to energy and to suspend time, existing in a continuum of the limitless dimensions of the galaxy.





  2. The side effects of their civil war caused supernovas in our reality.





  3. They can convert matter to energy and vice-versa at will.




So, yes. It seems like they are the most powerful.

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

tolkiens legendarium - Did Gandalf wear his Ring of Power throughout the trilogy?

After Gandalf discovered that Sauron was back and sent Frodo on his quest to Rivendell, did he continue to wear Narya (one of the Three Rings)? It seems like a huge risk to continue to wear it after the Nazgûl (Ringwraiths) started to try and reclaim the One Ring; if they managed to get the ring to Sauron, couldn't he be corrupted by his power? Whatever powers Narya bestows upon him couldn't possibly be worth the huge risk, could it? Answer When Sauron forged the one ring and put it on his finger, the other ring bearers were immediately aware of him and his intentions and removed their own rings. There is no reason why they couldn't merely do so again. As soon as Sauron set the One Ring upon his finger they were aware of him; and they knew him, and preceived that he would be master of them, and of all they wrought. Then in anger and fear they took off their rings. "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," Silmarillion
