It seems to be a recurring theme in all versions of Star Trek, but mostly in the shows that were done while Gene Roddenberry was alive: A quasi-god shows up, seeming to be all powerful and undefeatable, and the crew of the Enterprise has to somehow triumph over this character.
Some examples are Gary Mitchell and Nomad from Star Trek (and Gary Mitchell is on the short list of possible antagonists for the next movie), Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the Prophets from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Just how many beings are there out there with almost god-like powers in the Trek universe who seem to like to play with other intelligent life forms like humans?
