For a franchise so preoccupied with science, Star Trek loves bringing in the occasional god-like being to shake things up.
The first to do so, named Trelane, plagued Captain Kirk's crew in an episode from 1967 titled "The Squire of Gothos". Upon meeting our faves, the cosmic trickster treated them like his playthings, using his omnipotent power to do as he pleased. That is, until his equally powerful parents showed up to chastise Trelane and ask him to stop bothering the nice space explorers.
