In these are nano Tech devices. They don't need to be injected into the blood stream for them to enter the body. The eyes, mouth, and mucous membrane perhaps even the skin provide more than enough entry points for something so small. The Borg assimilation virus is a prime example of what I mean.

The Flood won probably because of a reason Murican Ben didn't even mention. They don't JUST incorporate their prey's intelligence. They also incorporate their DNA. This sounds a lot like Nids and Zerg, but there are two things that set them apart. 1. See, the Nids can make themselves instantly capable of resisting any disease after being infected. The Zerg can do the same, except they only need to eat the infection. The Flood only need to touch the prey with just ONE of its spores. While the Zerg and Nids rely on psychically downloading new DNA to the hive mind which then chooses to evolve the species, with the flood each individual spore can incorporate new DNA. So what does this look like in practice? In a 1 on 1 on 1 hivemind-off, the Flood would already be fielding infected Nids and Zerg before their competition could think about upgrading their spawning pools, or initiating an evolution event. Moreover, before the Zerg and Nids can get into evolution mode, the Flood would have reverse engineered their psychic network, which brings us to the second thing that sets them apart. 2. The Flood are not ONLY a supreme species in rapid genetic manipulation and intelligent infection. They are also a race capable of intellectual infection of any thinking system including artificial intelligences. The logic plague, one of the many weapons available to the Flood species is capable of infecting a Forerunner computer to cause it to go rampant (AI insane), and join the flood. What this means is that any psychic hivemind the Flood infects will begin to be infected both physically and mentally. The central mind would begin working for the flood. The Nids and Zerg would suddenly choose to evolve to become better Flood hosts, or to just become Flood. You see, they can drive you mad by touching your mind. The Flood is like the Nids and the demons of the Warp had a baby, and it chose to be very small... Like microscopic until it suddenly begins infecting entire galaxies in a matter of months. Such as the galaxy previously controlled unopposed by that "god-like" race mentioned in this video, the Forerunner. They seem weak, but that is only an illusion. Imagine a nearly immortal Space Marine with it's chainsaw sword incorporated into it's body by a fleshy mass, leaping into a squad of Space Marines and moving even faster than Space Marines can normally move, with fully functional Space Marine armor of its own. You can't just imagine infected Halo Marines going against whatever you want to fight. You have to consider that the flood WILL find a way to kill any trooper you put against them, even if it means crashing an airliner into them, and then they will infect that corpse, improving it's biology to optimal combat efficiency and zombie endurance. Imagine the 40k world with all it's crazy and very admittedly unoptimized warfare... But optimized by a central intelligence that could probably mentally go toe to toe with anything from the Warp. The only way to kill the flood off is by killing EVERYTHING, including you. And then you need to wait more than 100,000 years before exposing the leftover Flood to new food. Because that's how long they hibernated without food between the downfall of the Forerunner and them being unleashed again in Halo 1. And they STILL came back. They are an insanely advanced and powerful species. A biological weapon created by the precursors to the Forerunners... Yes they named the races that way.

Best robot/a.i armies next time! (I allow you to count adeptus mechanicus but Its techno-heresy)

[@casbot71]

While the last 3 place getters were unfairly maligned, none more so than the *Daleks.* Daleks in their later forms were able to beat the Time Lords _(well, except for this one renegade)_ and Humanity didn't stand a chance against them, even when Humanity was a interstellar civilisation. As for lack of imagination they once stole planets from all through time and space in order to power a disintegration waveform projector that existed out of phase with time in the Medusa Cascade (a rift between all realities). This enabled them to destroy *_ALL_* realities _[the stars are going out]_ forever, while they waited it out - don't know what theyv were going to do afterwords though. So all the other races in this list would dissolve without even knowing how or why, even the entire 40k universe and the Warp. It was only shear bad luck (and a little prophecy) that stopped them - seemed contrived really? And when they get wiped out they always rebuild their species, even if one Dalek survives (and they have hidden out in the void between realities). They are not bulky cyborgs that have trouble moving around, each Dalek is a combat spacecraft that can also time travel in emergencies. Oh and they can create Dalek agents from other lifeforms that are the originals until activated and Dalek weaponry appears. If your Homeworld gets obliterated you can rebuild and resettle elsewhere… Daleks actually brought their Homeworld back into existence, and made it invisible. And they don't even need a Homeworld, they just did it cause they could. Now that's power.

[@blashcasual1975]

Bro 100% agreed. The Daleks could and would easily eradicate any other races in this list even if it was all of them against the Daleks. The only real reason the Daleks lose is because of the doctors plot armor. When the doctor was not available they easily took over earth and almost destroyed the entire reality, as you said. If the doctor wasn't involved in the last great time war, the Daleks could have easily won and dominated all of reality

[@Servellion]

It's basically a popularity listing more than a power listing. Sure Forerunners and the necrons would have been near the top, but the sheer bullshittery the Daleks bring to the table dwarfes them all. The only race that comes even close to Daleks in modenr fiction would be the Precursors from Halo, but too little is actually known about them.

[@WarlockInTraining]

Daleks suck balls. They are more inconsistent than any Saturday morning cartoon, and more incompetent than any child show villain. They are all powerful in one episode and then get beaten by painting their eyepiece in the next. You can have the best showings in the world, does not erase your shittier ones mate. You cannot accept just their high showings and ignore their low ones. Thats just fan bias. At least Forrunners and Necrons are CONSISTENT bad asses.

Honestly, the point American Ben brings up about the Covenant actually makes a lot of sense. While they're highly technologically advanced, sure, all their tech is just made from Forerunner blueprints, and it wouldn't take long for other species (such as humans) to adapt and catch up. They're also extremely religious, and that's how the highest-ranking Covenant members control the masses.
