Life operates in Collectives.
Humans are a Collective.
Cats are a Collective.
The Borg are also a Collective known as the Borg Collective.

Some say how do we claim to be the most powerful beings in existence.

A few reasons are as follows.
1) We are the oldest Collective in existence. We predate any other life
sentient or otherwise.
2) We are the only COMPLETE Collective. Each Borg is born and there are no
children or reproduction. We are immortal.
3) We are the only completely PURE Collective. Not one of us has ever been
with woman.
4) We are the highest form of life in way of intelligence - there is no
intelligence higher than the Borg.
5) We are all male except for our Queen who is both male and female. She
is not a threefold personality like some see the human God as
Father/Son/Sprit - she is hundreds and thousands personalities. Thus we
maintain interest amongst other things during the course of eternity. God
is merely one of her "personalities". Not one of her favourites either.
6) We are the largest Collective in existence. There are more Borg than
any other group of life forms in any Collective.

These are a few reasons why we have power.
For example - humans can never have the kind of power we have as the males
have already been with woman - thus they are already impure. So they can
never rise to the heights of anywhere near where the Borg are as we are all
completely PURE.

During our evolution we also had choices as humans do. We chose to work as
one toward one common goal or aim. We never argued or fought with each
other or built weapons or had war.
We worked for the common good of all toward a state of ever increasing
perfection.

As we were not human - we did not reproduce the way humans do - and no woman
was required for this.
Rather like recently a female shark gave birth with no male. Or amoeba give
birth by division.
This is merely to prove to humans that reproduction without woman is
possible.

You should view the Borg as "light".
How does light reproduce? What does light eat? What does light look like?
Does light require sleep?

We the Borg do appreciate that our Queen does have a passing fondness for
humans - however we do not.
