During the fight, Khan overconfidently boasted that he had five times the man's strength, ergo Kirk was no match for him. When it became clear that Kirk could not defeat Khan hand-to-hand, Kirk pulled loose a heavy flow-control rod and used it to subdue him.
Kirk clocked him with a metal rod and defeated him. Kirk didn't beat Khan…. Khan's ego messed him up. He thought that being genetically engineered made him the superior human and he forgot that 'small' men often bring down big men.
A climactic fight erupts between the two, which Khan gradually wins. Uhura beamed down, firing several stun shots to weaken Khan and revealed to Spock that they needed Khan alive to save Kirk (McCoy had just discovered that Khan's blood possessed regenerative properties). Spock finally knocked Khan out.
Spock Couldn't Overpower Khan In Star Trek Into Darkness
Spock once took on a genetically enhanced human he couldn't overpower — Khan Noonien Singh. Khan was the product of late 20th-century genetic engineering and ruled over a significant portion of Earth during the height of the Eugenics Wars.
In terms of overall knowledge and mathematical ability it's Spock. But in terms of tactics, quick-thinking, improvisation and people skills, it's Kirk. This is part of why they are a great team. They each cover what the other lacks and they know to trust the other man's abilities.
Spock Died in Every Version of the Star Trek II Script
The filming of the first movie was a disaster, and so Nimoy wanted no more to do with Spock or Star Trek. Jack B. Sowards wrote his first draft for Wrath of Khan with Spock in the story -- and killed him at the end of the first act.
For those two decades that Khan and his band were struggling to survive on Ceti Alpha V, neither Admiral Kirk nor anyone from Starfleet ever bothered to check on them. As far as Khan was concerned, Kirk had left them there to die, and the Augment nursed his resentment of Kirk for the next 20 years.
He views himself as superior to any normal human being, and especially needs to prove that to Kirk, the man who'd bested and humiliated him before. He blames Kirk for the deaths of many of his people, not to mention his wife on Seti-Alpha 5 (which, let's face it, he's not 100% wrong).
Spock's Vulcan physiology makes him many times stronger than a human while Khan was enhanced with superior physical abilities. Khan's boosted intellect is also comparable to Spock's Vulcan intelligence.
What happened to Khan after Star Trek Into Darkness?
His crew of augments remained frozen and Khan struggled to save them during his campaign. After gaining his revenge on Admiral Marcus, he was later stopped by the crew of the USS Enterprise and returned to cryogenic sleep with his crew.
The reasons include the casting of a white actor to play the role of a character who is canonically from South Asia, as well as the way Abrams' movie blatantly recycled an established plot thread from The Original Series and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Khan Noonien Singh is the most dangerous adversary the Enterprise ever faced. He is brilliant, ruthless and he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you. Spock regarding Khan. Khan was a psychopathic and violent war criminal who would even risk his life to get revenge on his enemies.
3. Genghis Khan killed an estimated 40 million people, resulting in a man-made climate change. The Mongol invasions effectively cooled the planet, scrubbing around 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere.
Spock's katra is reunited with his body in a dangerous procedure called fal tor pan. The ceremony is successful, and Spock is resurrected alive and well, though his memories are fragmented.
Spock needed to return to Vulcan to marry T'Pring, who he had been bethrothed to since childhood. However, T'Pring had other plans and, instead of going through with the wedding, she handpicked Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) as her champion to fight Spock in kal-if-fee - a fight to the death.
My impression was that McCoy's usual relationship with Spock was needling him about his Vulcan culture of “logic,” which McCoy thought silly, irritating, and unhealthy. But if Spock needed help of a medical or situational nature, McCoy was always there for him.
Khan knew the Enterprise was crippled and could not escape the shock wave, which would destroy both Reliant and Enterprise. Scotty was having trouble in engineering, so Spock left the bridge and went into the contaminated compartment himself. He brought the “mains” back online, but killed himself in the process.
The easiest answer is 'Q is the smartest,' being a near-omnipotent godlike being. He technically would be classed as the smartest as he literally knows everything (with the one exception of why he is dying in Picard season 2).
Michael is about 4 years older than Spock, but curiously, Sybok was already gone when the young Burnham moved to Vulcan. Sybok is never mentioned in any of Michael and Spock's flashbacks to their childhood on Star Trek: Discovery, but was Burnham aware that Spock had an older half-brother?
Star Trek: The Original Series writer David Gerrold, has also spoken about K/S slash sometimes. In 1985, Gerrold commented: One of the truths I've been telling lately is that Kirk and Spock are not lovers ... they're not even boyfriends. They're just good friends.
