    Even though Doctor has special powers and great knowledge about technology and universe, Q is still an omnipotent immortal.

    Hmm... never heard of 'Doctor Who'.
    The Doctor maybe?

    Still probably Q.

    Doctor Who is a British Science Fiction TV series that has just celebrated its 50th Anniversary. It is about an alien that looks completely human that travels through time and space with human companions. When the main character or the Doctor dies, then he goes through a regeneration that makes him look completely different and acts completely different so obviously the actor playing him quits or is fired for whatever reason and a new actor plays him. Most of the series are before the '90s while the newest one started in 2005 with a Christmas special last week.

    Q. Q pwns.

    If it were a contest of awesomness alone, the 4th, 9th, and 10th Doctors would win. Otherwise, Q all the way.

    *whoooosh

    That's the sound of the point going over your head

    I haven't watched doctor who but I can assume that the doctor's name isn't "doctor who"

    I could have also just looked like an TRIBBLE, but I'll take that gamble
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    As Dahm pointed out, the character's name is just "The Doctor". They even emphasize this repeatedly in the show if you'd been paying attention ("Doctor who?" "Just 'the Doctor'.")

    The Doctor can time travel and technobabble devices with his screwdriver. Q can adjust universal constants to his liking. Advantage: Q.

    Quite clearly Q would win. he is omnipotent and only has to snap his fingers at any point.

    unless the match was actually taking place in Dr Who, then the doctor would talk very fast, run around for a bit, press a button on his sonic screwdriver than he has never pressed before, will never press again and Q would magically disappear in some deus ex machina shenanigans never to be explained.

    Exactly. Q would pwn the Doctor, in any realistic contest. If it were an awesomeness contest--certain Doctors would win. Others (*cough* 11th Doctor *cough*) would get turned into sea slugs.

    Depends. How much time does the Doctor have to plan?

    Oh, wait, that's Batman. :rolleyes:


    Sadly, it'd be Q without reservation. Even if the Doctor pulled a stunt like he did in the 50th, and notified his first incarnation to begin planning to stop Q, by the time he reached his 13th incarnation, he'd still be toast.

    Now if it was a battle of wits, and Q limited himself to that, the Doctor might have a chance...of coming in second. Sorry, still Q.

    I know next to nothing about Dr.Who other than it's a long running show.

    However, I will +1 for Q's special way of doing things with a sense of humor.

    Against one Doctor he'd probably win, but against all 13 together in 1 place, I doubt it.

    The opinion that Q would win is idiotic, and here's why:

    When you're omnipotent, the only interesting thing in the universe are other minds in which you can find stimulation and entertainment and challenge. Killing them gains you nothing. Being alone to manipulate dead matter like stars and barren planets with your omnipotent godlike power will get boring after a few hours. Other minds are the universe's wild-card that makes existence interesting for a being like Q.

    Q doesn't just snap other living beings out of existence in a fit of petty rage when they defeat him in the intellectual arena. Picard bested Q all the damn time. Q never killed Picard because then who would he gloat to? Defeating an opponent via your own raw power when they have no power like your own is an act of primitive pettiness that Q despised early humanity for.

    The Doctor would always, always outwit Q and beat him in the intellectual arena and Q would always come back for more. Q would secretly love it.

    Actually, if he were armed with 'the moment', the Doctor might stand a chance. Although, such a scenario would beg the question of whether using a weapon would count as a 'victory'.

    I will also note that, as powerful as the Q are, we have seen evidece that they can be stripped of their power, imprisoned and even killed by their own kind. It is therefore fair to assume that a being of equal or greater power would be capable of the same.

    None of that matters. Q doesn't destroy intelligent beings to "win". There's nothing to be won that way.

    Nobody here gets Q.

    This, actually, makes perfect sense. This entire comment +10 thousand.

    It would be a stalemate, since Q doesn't indulge in shows of force nor does the Doctor so it would be a battle of wits, either they would end up on the same side or they would would both walk away from the encounter convinced they had both won, Q and the Doctor have one thing in common, they are both consummate con-artists.

    And where did I say that the Doctor's name was Doctor Who? I specifically said "Doctor Who is a British Science Fiction TV series." Also, the Doctor's name is not the Doctor, but it is never mentioned in the series and is some huge secret that would cause immense problems if his name is known. After all, the Doctor was a pretty old man when he first took the TARDIS out. So he has a history that no one knows about when he was younger and it is extremely doubtful that he would have been stuck on Gallifrey considering his adventurous side. My response was to a valid question since not everyone knows about the Doctor Who series.
