In the comic, we learn that Noonien Singh was an orphan from the streets of India, kidnapped into a eugenics program and built into a super-smart super-strong super-human. By the end of the first issue of the comic, Khan has led his fellow eugenics-fueled orphans into a rebellion — but he's still very obviously Indian in heritage. How Khan's ethnicity will change from Indian to Latino to Caucasian is obviously a big question the series is going to answer — though we're not sure how literally whitewashing an ethnic character is going to damp down any outcry.
Enterprise is successful in fatally disabling the other starship. But Khan, in his desperate hunger for revenge, arms the Genesis torpedo, knowing full well that both ships will be destroyed upon its detonation. With the Enterprise doomed without warp power, Spock suddenly enters the starship's radiation chamber to repair the warp drive. McCoy tries to stop the determined Vulcan, but Spock takes the upper hand and touches the doctor's forehead cryptically, murmuring "Remember.
The crew and ship have been spared, yet Spock, dying of severe radiation, has willingly given his own life. With the Enterprise safely away, McCoy tells Kirk to come to the ship's engine room. There, a stunned Kirk must bid an emotional farewell to his dearest friend. Kirk need not mourn, says Spock, for his sacrifice was logical.
Spock dies, but in contrast to a new birth -- the new living star and planet formed from the nebula and Genesis. A sullen and mournful funeral is held for Spock, and, accompanied by Scotty playing "Amazing Grace" on his bagpipes, Spock's coffin is sent to rest upon the new planet.
With Khan defeated, David Marcus finally makes peace with his father. Kirk and the U. Enterprise then go to Ceti Alpha V to pick up the abandoned Reliant crew, and the ship heads for Earth. Kirk, though saddened at the loss of his friend, is hopeful for the future, because as Spock once said, "there are always possibilities.

Soong believed Khan and the Botany Bay to be nothing more than a myth, although his "children" believed differently. Clearly you want to. A smoke screen to conceal my true identity. My name Intellect alone is useless in a fight, Mr. You, you can't even break a rule; how can you be expected to break bone?
Is there anything you would not do Bringing back Khan Noonien Singh was discussed before the release of Star Trek ; on the film's audio commentary , it is stated the filmmakers considered having a shot of the SS Botany Bay after the credits, but opted out in case they decided not to use the character.
Director J. Abrams said, " It'll be fun to hear what Alex and Bob are thinking about Khan. The fun of this timeline is arguing that different stories, with the same characters, could be equally if not more compelling than what's been told before [ Co-writer Damon Lindelof said the jumping-off point for the sequel's story was deciding whether Khan would be the villain, and he, Kurtzman and Orci weighed the pros and cons of using the character.
Cinefex , No. With a laugh, Orci phrased this issue, " To Khan or not to Khan. The filmmakers found a compromise by developing a story that would not entail Khan, and then determining if he could be "reverse engineered" into it. Without that standard, we wouldn't […] We all loved the 'Space Seed' back story, the idea that he was a man who loved his crew as his family — that was the understandable and relatable agenda. And then we built outward from there. Genetic super man from a time that understood war and savagery, etc.
Once we had a basic structure that did not necessarily necessitate him, we were able to tailor the script itself to details and inspirations that he brought. Khan's undercover name was inspired by his name in an early draft of the script for " Space Seed ", John Ericssen.
Orci said, " We shot the movie using the name Ericsenn [sic] but decided it would give it away[,] so we cheated the name Harrison into everyone's mouth! Khan was portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Before he was cast, Abrams approached Benicio del Toro for the role. One of the points of the movie is that we must be careful about the villain within US, not some other race. Could be. Cumberbatch commented the role was "daunting because of the legacy involved and the amount of speculation about [Khan] possibly being the villain.
I mean, seriously, I made that guy say 'Milk, milk lemonade, and this is where the fudge is made' and it scared the living shit out of me.
Cumberbatch was cast two weeks before filming. Mary L. Mastro , head of the film's hair department, wanted Khan to have black hair to contrast with the blond Kirk.
She recalled, " JJ called a meeting with the creators involved in what he was going to look like and [Cumberbatch] walks into the room with super-short blond hair. My mouth dropped open, like, 'Oh, great.
It's nice, even in the distance, to be able to recognise a character right away. He's pretty high fashion-looking. Cumberbatch trained one-to-one with his stunt double, Martin De Boer , learning basic martial arts.
De Boer described Cumberbatch as "'very receptive to learning. I've had actors who want to be an action star but don't want to put in the work, and he was the opposite, he said, "'I want to train as much as I can. Besides working with us, he was working with his personal trainer five, six days a week; he really got in shape.
That strength changes the rules of the martial arts we use. You don't have to do five punches, you just have to use a couple of moves and he takes out the guy already. Bad Robot Productions went to great lengths to hide Khan's identity, even screening the space jump scene to the press with life sign readouts displayed as "Harrison" and Spock's lines referring to Khan overdubbed to refer to Harrison. Bryan Burk defended the strategy, stating, " Even if you don't even know who Khan is, you know that you're watching a film where for forty-five minutes or an hour of the movie you are ahead of the characters.
So you're just kind of waiting for them to catch up with what you already know, that he is not who he says he is. The creative staff were ultimately very pleased with how Khan is depicted in Into Darkness. However, Abrams voiced regret over keeping Khan's identity a secret. He added that hiding Khan's presence was mandated by the studio, who did not want to alienate non- Star Trek fans with the impression they had to learn about who Khan was to enjoy the film.
Abrams agreed with that notion but " wonder[ed] if it would have seemed a little bit less like an attempt at deception if we had just come out with it. When asked if Cumberbatch could reprise the role, Lindelof replied, " To answer that question would be to determine whether or not he actually survives this movie, but if he survives this movie, we would be incredibly stupid to not use him again.
In the Star Trek Encyclopedia 4th ed. Harrison was one of nine survivors of the attack on the colony on Tarsus IV in , and both of his parents were killed in the attack.
He graduated from the London School of Economics in He was tasked with collection, organization and analysis of declassified data received from Starfleet-commissioned starships and from Federation member states. Harrison, and card , titled Human Augment Khan. The comic book series Star Trek: Khan begins after Khan's capture and him being brought to trial before the Federation Court and establishing his history subsequent to the divergence of the timeline but prior to his encounter with the Enterprise.
Quickly using their databanks to determine his identity prior to awakening him, Admiral Marcus orders that Khan's face and voice be reconstructed from their Indian origins to a more northern European origin and has his memory blocked with the intent of convincing Khan that he is John Harrison, a Starfleet researcher in London's Kelvin Memorial Archive who lost his memories in an accident during a failed mission to Qo'noS.
He is given the task of helping advise Section 31 on possible enhancements to Starfleet weapon, shield and propulsion technology which is to be incorporated aboard the USS Vengeance as well as taking on a mission to destroy Praxis with the help of a portable transporter he designed and built. The mission is a success explaining the destroyed moon seen in orbit of the Klingon homeworld in the film , but in the process, Khan rediscovers his memories of his true identity.
Discovering that his crew is being held in the London facility and forging transmissions from Marcus, Khan is able to load his crew into the long-range torpedoes with the intent of stealing a starship with them aboard, but before departing, Khan invades Marcus' home and demanded to know the truth before planning to kill him. The admiral, planning for Khan's rediscovery, has him targeted by a jumpship outside the window, forcing Khan to flee. His plan, now circumvented, forces him to coerce Thomas Harewood into destroying the London facility and set the events of the film into motion.
Star Trek: Khan also establishes that he was originally an ordinary Indian boy named Noonien Singh and was an orphan living in an impoverished New Delhi slum. In , he was captured, along with other impoverished children, and taken to a research facility to be a test subject for genetic engineering experiments.
