I could accept that she was just normal, apart from her business with the Q. They consider her nearly an equal?

I dont think they ever said she was an equal. Maybe she is just hard to manipulate and that annoys Q.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Impossible, really. He is omnipotent. He can do everything.

In the Q Who episode she raised her hands as if she had a credible defence against Q, and Q viewed her as a real threat, returning the gesture.

It was said they aren't by another Q.

The Q are far from omnipotent. Powerfull? Yes. Omnipotent? Hardly.

hm. Guinan interests me as a character simply because we know so little about her. You're right about the credible defence against Q, so who knows.
