I am Q:

1. Fictional
2. Male
3. American
4. Not known primarily through movies, though I appeared in one
5. Known primarily through one or more television programs
6. Not from an adventure series
7. First appeared after 1964
8. Last name starts with Q
9. Not from a children’s show, though children may be a significant part of my viewing demographic

You can have that DQ back if you want, bordelond, as EH’s second question was substantially similar.
