The Borg
Great play on some age-old human fears. The power of the hive mind, the loss of individuality, loss of self in the group, loss of one's own mind. The borg seem more frightening when they're ignoring …

Prod Nero

Captain Jean Luc Picard
Overly bureaucratic and deskbound, he was at least able to grow a bit bolder after a time-hopping encounter with Kirk.
