Q (Star Trek)

The Q are a race of omnipotent, omniscient, god-like beings from a parallel dimension called the Q Continuum that exist in the fictional Star Trek universe. They are largely indifferent to the affairs of the non-Q beings living in normal space, with a few exceptions. The most notable of these is Q as played by John de Lancie, a mischevious Q who periodically harasses the crew of the starships Enterprise and Voyager.

Other members of the Continuum featured on the series are Q's wife Q, their son Q, and Q's friend Q. Fans have also speculated that Trelane from the original series episode The Squire of Gothos was also a Q.
