The Bajoran Prophets are one of Star Trek's most enigmatic species, but now Captain Sisko has revealed one of his crew is smarter than them.
Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek #12!Star Trek has confirmed that one Starfleet hero is smarter than the Bajoran Prophets, and it is not Captain Sisko. The Prophets are one of the Star Trek franchise’s most enigmatic species; a non-linear, non-corporeal race residing in the Bajoran Wormhole. They are powerful beyond belief, but in Star Trek #12, readers learn that one member of the Theseus’ crew possesses an intellect far beyond the Prophets.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In Star Trek #12 – written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Angelu Unzueta – as Captain Sisko fights Kahless on the Klingon homeworld, he has a vision of the crews of the Theseus and Defiant, working to harness the power of the Bajoran Orb of Creation.
His narration offers deep insight into each character – including T'Lir, the Theseus’ science officer, who Sisko calls a “genius with a mind beyond even the Prophets’ comprehension.”T'Lir Is A Breath Of Fresh Air For IDW's Star Trek Proving Sisko’s point, T’Lir is instrumental in unleashing the Orb of Creation’s vast power to defeat Kahless in Star Trek #12, the climax Star Trek's crossover event, "Day of Blood.
There Is Much More To Be Revealed About T'Lir While Trek fans wait to learn exactly who T’Lir is, Sisko drops a surprising revelation about them in Star Trek #12. To be smarter than one of the Bajoran Prophets is a huge deal. The Prophets exist outside of space and time, in a realm called “the Celestial Temple,” another name for the Bajoran wormhole. The Prophets created the immensely powerful Orbs, each representing a facet of existence.
T’Lir has shown themselves to be perhaps the smartest member of the Theseus’ crew, rivaling even Data. T’Lir has shown they grasp concepts and theories on the cutting edge of 24th-century science–and beyond. This no doubt owes to their mysterious, possibly cosmic nature, and leaves fans wondering if T’Lir, in their true form, would be a match for the Prophets or other god-like beings like Q.
