Q2 as a Human (2366)
Q2 was a member of the Q Continuum responsible for misplacing the entire Deltived asteroid belt. He was later responsible for stripping Q of his powers and banishing him to mortality as a Human in 2366.
Q2 continued to follow Human-Q's progress aboard the USS Enterprise-D. Q2 later appeared and re-instated Human-Q's powers when the latter Q committed a selfless act to save the Enterprise from the attacking Calamarain. (TNG: "Deja Q")
- Q2 was played by popular actor Corbin Bernsen. Q2 was never referred to as such except in the script; Bernsen also referred to himself as such in the Star Trek 25th Anniversary Special. In the episode, both he and John de Lancie's character addressed each other as "Q".
Apocrypha
Q2 is also featured in the non-canon novels of Greg Cox (the Q Continuum trilogy) and John de Lancie (I,Q). Q2 participated, along with Quinn and the female Q whom Q eventually mated with, in the war against "0" in the Continuum trilogy. He also played a vital role in I,Q as a supposed ally of Q's in his struggle to stop the end of the universe.
