Jounin Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Both seem to be able to control matter, space and time. Who would win if these two titans went toe to toe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenhank Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 It seems as though the Prophets are far more limited in their abilities. Although this could be a misconception based on their actions, which are influenced by something other than a lack of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Q obviously. The Prophets got locked up in their own wormhole, could be destroyed by that temporal radiation stuff and had to get Sisko to finish off the Pah'Wraith for them. The Q have only ever been shown to be vulnerable to each other - or in that episode of Voyager, people in the Q continuum armed with Q weapons.

bones2097 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 has to be Q's cause the prophets seem to content in their wormhole..... as above ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Sisko never punched the Prophets though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jounin Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Im kinda surprised that no one is backing the prophets on this. They did destroy an entire Dominion Armada, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ah, yes, but this armada was going right through their home... I'd imagine that this would be the point where they are strongest... If the Q can get their act together and work as a 'team', I highly doubt they can be defeated by anything at all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juhan Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 With The Sisko as their leader, the Prophets could rule the world! Q's bicker too much. BTW i'm still in Season 6 DS9, so I didn't know Q ever met anyone on DS9! He never appeared in that series before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annika Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 so I didn't know Q ever met anyone on DS9! He never appeared in that series before. Yes he did. He was already there in season 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juhan Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 My bad then.. its probably coz thats the only time they(he) appeared. Bad memory for these kinda things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The only thing that stops Q (the one we know and love) from wiping out the Dominion/Borg/Your maw at a whim is the fact the Q contiuum would bitch slap him again. The power is there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhug666 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 the reason that people like the Q so much is that the Q are funny, the prophets don't have a sense of humor and while Q's pranks are strange they are funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 who knows. the prophets seem to have a lack of understanding with regards to humanoid issues and they also seem to have a rudimentary concept of time. the Q have a massive understanding of seemingly everything but that does not mean they have more raw power. indeed the prophets with theur rudimentary understanding of whats outside their environment may have enough power to wipe the floor with the entire continuum but have no need to demonstrate it. i voted Q cos based on the evidence seen so far they seem to have it all covered.

Tenebrae Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I don't know - the Q seem pretty dumbfounded by human nature. Hooray for more pointless egotism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Q, by a a football fields length. While the Prophets possess similar powers, possibly, they can also as said before be killed and locked within their own domain (the Celestial Temple). A Q can only be wounded or killed, by another Q. While occasionally a few dip into the lives of people in the various quadrants most Q remain content with just leaving other species alone. Q easily win aganist Prophets.

ml241 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah, no question- Q. The Q can remake the universe with just a thought- the only reason they don't, I think, is that the task bores them. They prefer to have fun with the universe. The Prophets, on the other hand, have rarely shown any power at all. If they decided to go to war, the Q would eliminate them in less than an instant. What could the prophets do to stop them- possess a Q, and mate to make a savior? Their methods, as seen with Sisko's mother, are clumsy and inefficient.

All it took was one Cardassian possed by a single Pah-wraith to disable all but one Orb, which effectively closed the Celestial Temple trapping the Prophets. The Q would not allow themselves to have some kind of backdoor Achilles-heel type way of trapping them/removing them from the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml241 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hmm. I think the single difference here is what each race was put into the show to do: Q was always intended to be above the characters, because he was put there to judge humanity. The prophets, on the other hand, are put in with a very clear purpose in the story, a connection to the Bajorans. When they're serving that purpose, it's only a matter of time until the writers stick in some character who can attack them to get at the main characters. So if we had compared the Q to the prophets based only on the first episode of DS9, before the writers started looking for stories, the competition would be very close. Likewise, if a Q had a connection to the cast, say, by being friends with one of the characters from the beginning of TNG, then I bet we would have found out about some Achilles' Heel by now because it's hard to tell stories about a character who can't be hurt.
