Tuvok (Tim Russ) from "Star Trek: Voyager." Tuvok, the first main-cast Vulcan on "Star Trek" since Spock, is, unambiguously, the best Vulcan in the franchise.
When it comes to portraying the iconic Mr. Spock, there are two actors who come to mind: Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto. Nimoy's portrayal is the original. His performance is legendary, and turned the character into an iconic pop culture fixture.
Vulcans are suggested to be x3 times stronger than a human (and consequently a Klingon) but they are a race that, mostly, avoids all forms of physical violence, due to their dark and murky past, favoring intelligence and logic over warfare.
However, Vulcans are less cold-tolerant than humans. There are instances of them living over 220 years. Having evolved on a fictional desert planet, Vulcans can survive without water for longer periods than humans. Vulcans can also go without sleep for as long as two weeks.

How old did Spock live?
The elder Spock died off-screen on New Vulcan on January 2, 2263. Ambassador Spock was 161 when he died in the Kelvin timeline, although his final death chronologically happened 12 years before his original Prime timeline death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
He entered the alternate reality at age 157 and stayed alive for 5 years (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Spock#Involvement_in_the_alternate_reality) and he died due to natural causes.
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.
Surprisingly, though, there's evidence the role of Spock was originally offered to Oscar award-winning actor Martin Landau instead. In a 1986 interview with Starlog, Landau, who had since become associated with Gerry Anderson's Space: 1999, recalled being offered the role, only to turn it down.
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.
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.
One weakness of the Vulcans is their inability to metabolize nitrous oxide. After only a few minutes of exposure to the gas, a Vulcan will pass out. Vulcans typically have a lifespan of 200 years or more.
"Amok Time" introduced two crucial female Vulcan characters, T'Pring (Arlene Martel) and T'Pau (Celia Lovsky), who set the stage for how the women of Vulcan would be portrayed throughout the Star Trek franchise. Vulcan female characters run the gamut of being Star Trek series leads and supporting characters.
In Deep Space Nine, Kasidy Yates (Penny Johnson) explained to Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks) that Vulcans have quicker reflexes than humans and are, on average, three times physically stronger.
In the films, Spock was accidentally sucked in a black hole that transported him from 2387 in the Prime Timeline to the year 2258 in the Kelvin Timeline. Spock was 157 when he ended up in the Kelvin Timeline and lived another four years there before passing away at the age of 161.
Owing to his half-Vulcan heritage, Spock was significantly stronger than the average human. His metabolism and lung capacity were superior to that of humans; he very nearly killed Captain James T.
Despite the myth that Vulcans cannot lie, many Vulcans throughout Star Trek have lied for a myriad of different reasons. Spock himself lies quite often on Star Trek: The Original Series, often getting involved in complicated schemes with Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) that require some kind of deceit.
After being encouraged to use his anger to battle the vicious Gorn, Spock unleashes a palpable rage as he goes after the dangerous hatchlings. Spock states earlier in the episode that "without proper mindfulness, Vulcan emotion is dangerous," and that becomes clear when he releases his fury.
Spock was a Captain until his death in Trek 2. And after his resurrection, he held the rank of Captain, but was content to be first officer. After the Enterprise A was decomissioned, Spock took command of another ship for some years. Commander Nyota Uhura-Communications/Intelligence officer.
Sadly, Spock died without ever siring an heir, and in Star Trek canon, neither Kirk nor Spock got to have descendants to carry on their adventures and save the galaxy.
The beloved Vulcan's full name is officially S'Chn T'Gai Spock. The name actually comes from a popular fan work-turned novel for The Original Series in Barbara Hambly's Ishmael which was published in 1985.
Among the non-immortal humanoid aliens, the longest-lived appear to be El-Aurians (e.g. Guinan) who have lifespans of 750 years or more. Among Trills, the humanoid host lives as long as a human, but the worm-like symbiont lives at least 400 years, apparently. After that, Vulcans and Romulans are about 200 years.
