Aw, no Haruhi Suzumiya? I mean, I like her, she can be... hard to watch some times.

Good list though. :)

When I started reading this list, I was like, Q better be No. 1 on this list because no one is more annoying than him. So annoying, but I loved his stupid antics back then. Now, I'd probably cringe, but Q did give me the Borg.

Good list.

I thought Q was awesome, but definitely most annoying to the Enterprise crew.

Desperate Star Trek fans like to cling onto the idea that Trelane was a Q, and I think one of the novels even used the idea.

So many annoying Star Trek characters.. Maybe that's why I never watched it.

Interesting note about Anthony Fremont, when The Twilight Zone got re-booted a coupla years ago, they did a sequel to "It's a Good Life", appropriately titled "It's [i]Still[/i] a Good Life, which brought back both Billy Mumy and Cloris Leachman. Anthony is all grown up and has continued his reign of terror, and he now has a daughter, who may be just as powerful as him, if not moreso.

More annoying possibly are the Ancients, from Stargate, or just the ascended beings in general. Picture a race of highly evolved beings of pure energy who are responsible for creating life in the galaxy as we know it after it's wiped out by a plague. Not just one galaxy, mind you, but at least two. And another faction created their own humans in their home galaxy. Picture the fact that they have omnipotence and power beyond the reckoning of any living creature in the universe.

So, a bad guy decides to ascend, turns out he still likes masquerading as a god and comes back with all of his powers to try and (of course) take over the galaxy after they kick him out of their fan club (but not completely). Guess whose responsible for sticking him there in the first place? The Ancients, in particular one sordidly stupid and annoying Ancient. He wreaks havoc on the galaxy, killing billions and billions of people and even manages to wipe the planet from the first fucking movie. The Ancients meanwhile twiddle their thumbs and do jack shit. Then, when one character on the show with any ounce of intelligence basically exposes their bullshit, they reveal that they refused to kill this guy (and they're the only ones who can) out of some need to punish the original woman who ascended him in the first place. That's right - they were willing to let the galaxy rot for a fucking grudge.

Then they have an even nastier little threat in the form of OTHER ascended beings who try to invade their galaxy. You'd think they'd have learned their lesson and tried to preempt this invasion because IT COULD KILL THEM. Nope. They bullshit around for a while as a religious crusade ravages their galaxy and ultimately ends up killing even more people than the last one - not to mention destroying a giant fleet of good ships. This time at least one of them says "fuck you all, this shit needs to go down" and takes down the bad guys by herself. That's right, It would have taken them *one* person to deal with the problem, and they didn't do shit.

So yeah. These guys are assholes and yet if you ask every Stargate nerd/shipper out there about them, they'll gush over them and try to divine some apologetic bullshit to defend their actions.

I'm so glad you put Anthony on this list. All of these years later, and he's still one of the most truly terrifying things I've ever seen.

heh....Q was awesome in voyager also. Always trying to hook up with Janeway. HAHAHA.

varrier, I stopped watching the show after Atlantis, but don't the characters themselves regularly point out that the Ancients are giant dicks? Isn't that why Daniel said "fuck it" and went back to being human?

I don't know what happens in the last few seasons, but up till Atlantis, I can't imagine anyone defending the actions of the Ancients when everyone was pointing out how stupid they were being.

What about the Dungeon Master from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon from the eighties? He was omnipotent, yet relentlessly annoying with his cryptic, useless advice to the kids stuck in hostile fantasyland.

glad to see Q number on on the list for most of the annoying omnipotent beings come from star trek. though surprised Bat-mite was lower on the list i though he would be in the top three or so. as for Manhattan figured he would be on the list since that is the way Alan wanted him to be. though suprised Uta made the list

We want white-jumpsuit Beyonder!

@kris - yeah, you're right. Pretty much on a regular basis there's some line by one of the characters confronting them and they're like "oh, but we're not allowed to interfere!". Fuck you people, you're allowed to when the people YOU CREATED are dying by the planet-load. No sense of responsibility apparently is retained when you ascend.

It's really sad how bad the fanboyism is about them. They manage to screw everybody over and still people try to retcon/bullshit their way out of the fact that they're irresponsible dicks.

No Darkseid/Metron?

Actually, "It's a Good Life" was a short story written by Jerome Bixby in 1953. I knew that because I read it a decade ago, and this was the first time I heard of the Twillight Episode lol.

Mikes; Don't think Dungeon Master was omnipotent, since he wasn't able to revert Venger back to his human form, nor was he able to defeat Venger's master; He Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken.

Thanks Poe, for not disappointing me!

Q, the universe's biggest douche had me rolling!

@Varrior: The Ancients were just pussies... I wouldn't classify them as annoying though. The Asgard annoyed me a lot though, but I don't know if I'd classify them as omnipotent or just really evolved...

The Asgard aren't anywhere near "omnipotent". They just have transporter technology and the ability to make clone backups of themselves. I wouldn't even call them more evolved than humans.

Even they state matter of factly that their technology went along a different path than humans, because they don't have the physical strength to wield ballistic weapons against the replicators.

I always hated Molecule Man. Definitely should have been on the list. Whiny and p-whipped, but could pretty much do anything, as long as it involved molecules.

This list just goes to prove why I don't like Star Trek. It can't have that good of writing if they constantly create characters like this. Drop the god characters and learn how to write in a creative fashion, Star Trek.

How could this list not have The Beyonder?

Seriously, the dude is a mutant Inhuman with godlike powers and a childlike mind. He assembles a bunch of heroes and villains, as well as chunks of several different planets, to make a planet where the heroes and villains must fight or die. Totally a Star Trek scenario, right? But then, when it's over and everyone gets back to Earth (or wherever), he shows up in human form and Spider-Man has to teach him how to use a toilet... And then it gets weird.

He's the direct cause for a whole bunch of Marvel Universe craziness. Venom, the Thing hanging out on Battleworld for a while, the creation of Titania and Volcana, Molecule Man getting better control of his powers and personality, Dr. Doom getting the powers of a god (briefly), and much more.

The Beyonder should at least be #2 on this list.

I vote also for The Beyonder, Secret Wars II 80s disco hair and all.

Maybe I'm the only one who took this viewpoint growing up on TNG, but I never saw Q as a villian, or a foil for the enterprise crew. Starting with the first appearance of Q (putting humanity on trial) behind his assholish tactics his actions always benefit mankind. He constantly forces Picard to prove that humanity has the capability to be a great species and better themselves, he gave starfleet a warning about the borg long before they could have known about them, and he's always willing to provide Riker with space-whores. I always saw Q as an arrogant being who in his own twisted way was trying to help.

The worst part about Q is that the entire series is sort of hinged around him as the framework. He's in the first episode, and he's in the last, and the two are connected together. I like the fact that occasionally, he'd show up and just start giving everybody what they want, like a drunk Santa Claus, but people would still tell him to fuck off. He's gave sight to Geordie, and Geordie still didn't want it because Q's a dick.

Q sucks. Thank the Prophets that his dumb ass only showed up once in DS9. This is another reason why DS9 is by far the most superior of all the Trek shows. There was no need for Q because the show was so damn well written, acted, directed, and produced that lame ass gimmicky shit like Q actually made the show worse. Voyager needed Q because it sucked so much ass that Q and a Fembot were the only things that could save that pile of shit. Q brought in ST:TNG Fanboys/girls to view the show that otherwise sucked ass and the Fembot brought horny virgin nerds in droves to watch an ass show in the hopes that Fembot would poke out someone's eyes with those torpedo tits.

Q rocks, and 'Q Who' is easily one of the best TNG episodes. That's not to say he wasn't annoying...he was very, very annoying. :)
God from Star Trek V for the win, though.

I disagree with almost every single statement in this list. And, honestly, that made it really, really enjoyable to read. It feels good to work out that nerd-rage.

How about Barack Obama? He's omnipotent--Chris Matthews says so.

For some reason, I expected The Great Gazoo from "The Flintstones" to be #1. :\

"For some reason, I expected The Great Gazoo from "The Flintstones" to be #1. "

...I gotta agree with this one. Gazoo was a hundred times more annoyingly omnipotent than Q.

Gotta agree with Mat. I always saw Q as sort of our "big brother." Likes to screw with us for his amusement, but definitely has our best interests at heart. He did us a tremendous solid with the Borg warning.

Come on, I LOVED Q - if he did nothing else right, he ROYALLY pissed off Picard (Never liked Picard at ALL - the stick up his butt had a stick up it's butt)

why not have two lists one for star trek and another for the two other shows you pulled this list off of

I rather expected to see Melllvar from Futurama on here.

I was sure The Beyonder was going to be in the top 3.
Also, There were a few Looney Tunes (1 with bugs, 1 with Daffy) in which they were being manipulated and screwed with by the illustrator. Technically, illustrators aren't omnipotent but are to cartoon characters.
Finally, I'm not sure if he's omnipotent but the little, gay sprite from the Flinstones, Kazoo or Yazoo? Well, that guy was annoying.

You know who the most annoying Omnipotent being is? MY WIFE. Bitch always thinks she right.
Since I don't want to lose half my shit in a divorce, I have to accept her version of everything.

What, no mention of the Time Lords from "Doctor Who"?

you forgot god. add it asap

Not a bad list, some good ones on there but a few too many Star Trek guys.

Don't forget the Aldenata, from John Ringo's "Legacy of the Aldenata", not only are they basically omnipotent, but they are also do-gooders, thereby making them pretty much the most annoying, as well as the most dangerous.

Q was the best freaking character in entire Star Trek:TNG!

Doesn't Bat Mite sound like some kind of explosive found in Batman's utility belt?
