I'll go with the Covenant.


I hope you're not serious. Even the precursors are mid-tier at best.

How are they mid-tier? They were capable of trans-galactic travel, accelerating the evolution of sentient life, and they created the Flood. Plus, they are described as being much taller than Hunters.

...That's pretty much scraping mid tier.

Time Lords on the other hand...

no its legit, i used coordinates, set weapon timers the works.

Any alien species that has attacked Earth in fiction and lost, is not strong at all.

Outside of godlike beings (Timelords, Stargate Ancients, Q, Chaos Gods, etc) I'd give it to the Borg, Necrons, or Tyranids.

The Borg's ability to assimilate almost any species or technology makes them a huge threat. Even if a species is more powerful than the Borg, all they have to do is assimilate a few of their ships, weapons, and people, and they can enhance the technology far beyond its original capability, while becoming virtually immune to their enemy's weapons.

The Necrons that have been seen are just a scouting force, and they can wipe out whole Imperial Guard regiments or Space Marine Chapters. Anything the Imperium, Eldar, Orks, or Tau could throw at them wouldn't stand a chance against their full forces.

The Tyranids make the Flood look like a freaking tapeworm infection. They've consumed whole galaxies and number in the untold quadrillions. The Imperium suffered massive losses to only a small percentage of their forces. Nothing (except the Necrons) could withstand a full assault by the Tyranids.

Idk why people make such a big deal about love. Just -blam!- everything you see, until you find the one you want to -blam!- for the rest of your life.

Just want to point out to those who keep saying Time Lords.

Everyone knows the Time lord and the Daleks went to War (The Time Wars) And yet Daleks appear everywhere and yet only one Time Lord continues to exist. I think that is definitive evidence that while Time Lords are powerful, they can never be the most powerful, since they essentially lost the war against the Daleks.

The aliens from Signs.

They have three easily accessed and commonplace weaknesses.

First off, water is deadly to them. In other words a good 90% of our planet, including the atmosphere, is poisonous and acidic to them, as well as roughly 80% of our bodies.

Second, blunt objects. One guy just took a baseball bat a clobbered one of them. Any child with any kind of blunt object is an unstoppable badass to those things.

Or, if for whatever reason you don't have blunt object or water (how you run out of water is beyond me), they're stopped, halted, completely stonewalled by doors. Just put a flimsy piece of wood between you and the alien and you may as well be in a sealed atomic bunker.

They suck.

The Daleks have gone extinct.

In fact, they've gone extinct so many times it's pretty much become a running joke. They keep coming back because they're the Doctor's most famous foe.

LOL. They travel across the galaxy, and are defeated by pieces of wood and water.

Bring some damn ray guns and space suits! At least the War of the Worlds Martians had the Death Ray Walkers.

Yes, the Daleks are quite incompetent, But they aren't extinct. There is at least that invasion force currently trapped between realities, so extinct is not the right word here.

But that is still semantics when they destroyed Gallifrey and essentially killed all but one Time Lord. The Daleks, while "extinct" (And yet also returning quite frequently, which would mean they aren't extinct. Possibly close, but not extinct), still defeated the Time Lords.

The TL's were timelocked IIRC.

But I still to this day have no idea how the Daleks keep coming back. They've essentially just become an asspull plot device to the creators of the show. Even though their planet and species was basically obliterated.

They were doomed to fail from the start. They invaded a planet where over 70% of it is -blam!- ing water! How dumb can they be.

The Reapers or The Flood.


Not even close.

I'd have to say that there is a vast amount out there that would steam-roll one another for fun and then come upon the worst. However, I don't know which is the worst.

Q

This isn't even a contest.

I'd be hard-pressed to counter that except to mention any universe-creating deity.

Any omnipotent/omnipresent/omniscient entity(s) are pretty much in to a class that aren't worth bothering over specifics.

We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other.

The fact that the idiotic Mass Effect fanboys on this forum still think that the Reapers are remotely powerful compared to even the low tier entities of the Halo lore baffles me.

Nothing about them is menacing.

signatures are for fa- wait

Anyone who says Reapers is flat out wrong


Our cycle could have easily curved stomped the Reapers if we used the right tactics conventionally or not.
