Q (Species)

The Q are a race of godlike omnipotent beings that appear in the Star Trek franchise. Existing outside of the material universe, they inhabited a plane of reality known as the Q Continuum. The Q race has supposedly always existed, even before the creation of the universe as humans understand it, though apparently they were not always omnipotent and evolved to their current state over a period of eons.

The Q possess vast powers that other life-forms could only imagine commanding. They seem to wield limitless control over space, matter, time and energy, exhibiting such fantastic abilities as teleportation, time travel, shape-shifting and fabricating matter - including living things - out of nothing. With their immense powers, the Q consider themselves to be the highest form of life in existence. However, this has caused most of the Q to develop an apathetic attitude towards other forms of life and even the universe as a whole.
