He can do the Vulcan Nerve Pinch Only a handful of non-Vulcans have ever mastered this ancient and mystical technique, and Picard is one of them.

He has a maneuver named after him Picard is such a masterful tactician that he invented his own battle maneuver that allows a ship to appear to be in two places at once.

He knows there are only four lights You can torture Picard but you'll never break him, because he's more awesome than you even (especially?) while completely naked.

He'll take on three Nausicaans Not only is Picard capable of kicking some alien ass, he time travels back to the past to do it again, even though it means that he gets stabbed through the heart. Twice.

He's Robin Hood He steals from the rich and gives to the poor (or whatever) and gets the babe in the end. Also, he looks pretty spiffy in a pair of tights.

He de-assimilated himself Getting turned into a Borg couldn't stop Captain Picard. He gave all those cyborg implants the beatdown just in time to save Earth.

He can speak Tamarian Stuck on a planet with an alien who only speaks in metaphors, Picard manages to get it all figured out in time to save his own life, stab a crazy beast thing, and recite the Epic of Gilgamesh.

He can play the Ressikan flute Captain Picard has lived an entire second life among a long-dead alien race. Nobody's sure whether the experience was real or not, but he sure can jam on that flute.

Ladies love him Maybe it's because he's captain, maybe it's because he's bald, and maybe it's because he seems to know Shakespeare backwards and forwards, but there's no denying it: from Vash to Lwaxana Troi, Captain Picard has it goin' on.

He saved humanity It's hard to get more awesome than saving our entire species from never existing. Of course, it was his fault that humanity was at risk in the first place, but ultimately that only magnifies the awesome.
