Do you think there was a race even more powerful than the Q?
- Thread starter The Rock
- Start date
In the novel Q and A there were.
Star Trek Novel Hierarchy:
1. Them, above all in existence (Q&A)
2. The P Continuum, can command the Q (Spock vs. Q)
3. The Q Continuum
4. The M Continuum, almost equal in power to the Q (I, Q)
5. Most of the silly little non-corporeals, like the Douwd, Organians, Thasians, and a few others, in various degrees.

~943. Humans

You missed the Omega Continuum, in balance and thus on par with the Q at no.3 (VOY: The Eternal Tide)
The IRS.
We said more powerful, not scarier.
The writers.
They are more powerful. No one can escape them, and all will bow down to them.
Yeah, but the IRS has a tiny penis. The Q have no such weakness.
God.
And no, I don't mean that disembodied head from ST V. I actually mean God Himself.
(In one Trek novel - can't remember which one - Q actually does claim to have met God, and relates the tale with such a completely straight face that even Picard gets chills.)

Probably, but they don't give a crap what happens in the mortal universe so we never hear of them.
A race more powerful than the Q would be the R.
Which one? Or is Q stating that there is only one true God?
The Q aren't omnipotent, though.
Mastery of time and space, life and death, redefine universal constants on a whim. What was it that they could not do?
I don't know, but we do have this Quinn quote (Voyager, Deathwish):
I see no reason to believe Quinn was lying at that moment - to what possible purpose would he? I would rather take Quinn's statements at face value than 'our' Q's.
Also, there is that episode in which that female Q cannot return to the Continuum under her own power but needs Voyager to do so- that at least suggests that their powers can be blocked by something else than a conscious decision of another (group of) Q.
