OmnipotentAn omnipotent prankster who belongs to the Q Continuum, a race of godlike aliens who live outside our plane of existence. Simultaneously the main 'villain' and [[Trickster Mentor]] of the series.
 
Q's pranks seems chaotic on their surface, but have a subtle purpose: namely, to humble the Federation, which in his view has [[We Have Become Complacent|grown too complacent]]. Q demonstrates this by warping the ''Enterprise'' light-years across the galaxy and dropping them in Borg space.
 
Q, who makes it his business to meddle in mortal affairs, seems to enjoy annoying Picard in particular. For his part, Picard is unsure whether Q has humanity's best interests at heart, or is simply a bored kid who tortures insects.
