Q
Q was a highly powerful and sometimes flamboyant fictional character from a race of immortal, godlike beings also known as the Q in the Star Trek Universe.
Q typically appears as a Humanoid male (though he can take on other forms if he wishes), almost always dressed in uniform of a captain, usually a Starfleet captain.
He has been described as “obnoxious,” “interfering,” and a “pest”. However, underneath his acerbic attitude, there seemed to be a hidden agenda to Q’s visits that seemed to have the best interests of Humanity at their core.
Q was played by actor John De Lancie.
