Yes, it was more in response to the idea that coming back from the dead is some inherent advantage. If Neelix can do it, anyone can. (Well, if Seven's around anyway)
I desperately need to learn how to use emojis or something to make clear that I'm not being serious with things.

In fact can we all just default to not taking anything I post that is fewer than about 3 paragraphs being taken as bullshit/jokes?
 
TNG Transfigurations. John Doe kills him during his escape attempt, but then realizing what he's done, uses his powers to resurrect Worf.

Worf got stabbed to death by those animal soldiers and Q-Riker brought him back, or was he actually dead?

He also died on two or three Enterprises in AGT, but those timelines were reset. He died in Parallels on the Borg universe Enterprise, but he wasn't revived.

Worf cannot be defeated, it must be noted. He can only be killed.
 
I honestly think it would be a tie for all candidates because of how skilled they were in their positions.
 
I pick Odo. But Tasha has a chance to make it to the end, particularly if Worf bites it early (see “Yesterday’s Enterprise” where Tasha was around a few years later while Worf was nowhere to be seen). Which might be possible, just to give the impression that Chekov and Reed (and La’an, Nhan, & Shaxs, though not listed), have a chance as well. We are talking TNG Worf after all, not DS9 Worf.
 
Humanoid Odo was definitely not a fighter.

And anyway, whether it's humanoid or Changeling Odo, his skill set was being an investigator. And he blew away all other Security Chiefs in that regard, with the exception of Tuvok. (And I think Odo still edged him out a but.)
 
When you can turn yourself into a chair or a painting, it's easy to spy on evildoers. Since Tuvok can only look like Tuvok, it's a bit harder for him.
 
I'm not talking about Odo's shifting abilities, which do come in quite handy. I'm talking about his straight up investigative work... "NECESSARY EVIL", "IMPROBABLE CAUSE", and "FOR THE UNIFORM" to name a few examples.
 
Ooooo, there's a match for you. Odo vs. Armus.
Possibility 1: Armus is able to depolarize Odo's neuroelectrical system, destroying him.
Possibility 2: Odo keeps oozing out of Armus's grip, causing him to go mad with frustration.
Possibility 3: Odo and Armus combine to become an evil super-Changeling, who then takes over the Dominion and makes it MORE evil.
 
Or ropes and tie them. Or blades and impale them. Or a cage and imprison them. Or a blanket and suffocate them. In unarmed combat, Odo is like a "Win" button.

When has Odo ever done anything this useful, though?
He had the potential to be a "win" button, if only he was more competent in that regard.
Fantastic detective. Awful changeling.
 
"THE SIEGE" - turns into a tripwire to trip Bajoran military going after Sisko, O'Brien, and Li Nalas.

"THE MAQUIS, PART II" - turns arm into basically a long rope to grab the Maquis guy on the ladder.

"HEART OF STONE" - turns into a giant tent to protect 'Kira' from falling rocks.

You don't need to be a Changeling in order to be a good spymaster. Tuvok proved that. I think Malcolm Reed would have made a really good spymaster himself, if Archer had not kept making it difficult for him to fulfill that potential.

Surely Yesterday's Enterprise Worf was chilling with the Klingons somewhere? I'd assume due to the timeline change that the Khitomer Massacre doesn't happen and so he never goes to live with humans.

Your point that TNG Worf was a punching bag is still fair though
