Q occasionally uses contractions in his vocabulary as part of his chaotic god status.
He is said to be almost omnipotent and he is continually evasive regarding his true motivations. Despite his vast knowledge and experience spanning untold eons (and much to the exasperation of the object(s) of his obsession), he is not above practical jokes for his own personal amusement, for a Machiavellian and manipulative purpose, or to prove a point. He is an extra-dimensional being of unknown origin who possesses immeasurable power over time, space, the laws of physics, and reality itself, being capable of altering it to his whim. The most familiar Q is portrayed by John de Lancie.
Q is a fictional character, as well as the name of a race, in Star Trek appearing in the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Lower Decks series and in related media.
