The major problem with the Orks is that, reproducing asexually, they very likely have a fairly low level of genetic diversity. Once they get into any universe with a faction that has anything resembling functional SCIENCE!, all it takes is for that universe's version of Monsanto to release RoundUp! For Orks (wipes away all alien fungi!).

Goobacks will win. They will come back in time and take your jobs.

Even if one allows for their rather unlikely method of reproduction (for a sentient species) the Orks -and for that matter most of the 40k universe - are at such a pathetically low technological level to most of the "contenders" mentioned in this thread they aren't really relevant anyway. And of course, the only reason your scenario hasn't occurred in the 40k universe is that universes heavier emphasis on the Fantasy part of its Science Fantasy...

I disagree that Orks would be so easily wiped out or else the Imperium would've done it already (Back when they were still pimpin' and all). Remember, Orkoids reproduce so fast and so prolifically that random mutations are bound to happen. All it takes is for one Ork to have the needed random mutation to survive and your anti-fungal weapon is bungled.

The Robotech Masters - (if we go back to their hayday). They had the power to convert entire planets into weapons. They technically ruled everything at one point.

Sadly like all great empires, it all came crashing down and spawned a bunch of smaller empires that fought and killed everything.


Also, can we include the entirety of the Marvel and or DC universes as a single faction? They all have their own demi-gods / gods and all powerful aliens / super humans. Or would you have to break them down individually?
