10 Most Overrated Star Trek Villains

10. Kazon

Based on LA gangs, the Kazon offered a tangible and immediate threat to the crew of Voyager from their first day in the Delta Quadrant.

Supposedly right there with the worst of the worst, the Kazon sects popped up over the course of the first two seasons to attempt to steal technology that Janeway refused to share. They started out with the fairly impressive Predator Class ship in Caretaker and the threat of more to come yet the Kazon-Ogla never followed it up, leaving the way clear for Culluh and the Kazon-Nistrim in prime place.

Their only significant victory? The capture of USS Voyager in Basics. Yes, they only ever achieved something resembling their goal once and then only for a short time. Effectively they were overcome by a hologram and a murderer later assisted by a flyboy pilot and the less than aggressive Talaxians.

That road to defeat does tell you a lot about the Kazon. Even the Borg, in perhaps one of the franchise's most cutting in-jokes, deemed the Kazon to have no redeeming features. Although set up in a similar fashion to the Ferengi in TNG's first season, the Kazon were never resculpted for another use and were forgotten once Voyager passed their territory.
