About This Quiz

Over the decades, the Star Trek franchise has provided us with some unforgettable characters, from James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock to Commander Saru and Captain Philippa Georgiou.

Riker, Dr. Phlox, Captain Benjamin Sisko, Specialist Ash Tyler, Odo, The Doctor and more. 

But can you name ALL the mesmerizing male characters of the Star Trek franchise? That's what this quiz is designed to figure out.
