Answer
Hi John -

A)  Apollo - given his ability to make giant hands, I think he probably could.

B)  Armus - Hmmmm, I didn't see him do any real impressive physical feats but, if he could manipulate the energy that powered the motor that closed the doors, he might be able to.

C)  Borg Cube - Probably so, the Enterprise managed to wedge the door open using the vessel's shields so I'd bet a Cube could do the same.

D)  Bioship - I think they might be able to do that.

E)  Douwd - I wouldn't have any trouble believing he could do that.

F)  Entity - I would think so, any being that can eat a planet shouldn't have too much trouble with that.

G)  Kes - given her ability to manipulate molecules, I think she probably could.

H)  Nomad - Hmmm, that might be a bit much for him initially but I'd bet he could figure it out eventually.

I)  Beast - Nope, I think that would be too much for it.

J)  Warbird - Most likely they (Romulans) could figure it out.

K)  Great Link -  With all those Changelings working together, I think they could manage it.

L)  Tin Man - I bet he could do it pretty easily.

M)  Organian - I think it would be pretty easy for them.

N)  Metron - I don't see why not.

O)  Kelvans - given a little time to come up with a solution, I think they could.

P)  Krenim - I wouldn't be surprised.

Q)  Prophet - If they could construct and maintain a stable wormhole over thousands of light years I think they could open the door on the Dyson Sphere.

R)  Calamarain - I think given time they could do that.

You know they probably would!

Quinn and powerless Quinn probably wouldn't as the Bluegill enhanced Quinn saw humans as something to be conquered.

Given enough time to saw through the thing I think a person could saw Data's head off.

Laas seemed to have more tactical intelligence than the Entity and experience with his abilities so I'd go with him.

Since Kes could affect Laas's molecules, he'd have to be pretty fast to get the drop on her.

Laas would probably be able to take out Mitchell who was still learning the extent of his abilities.

The doc is pretty hard to harm so I'd put my money on him.


Thanks!
