Press Release

Khan voted Best Star Trek Villain


Khan Noonien Singh has been voted Best Star Trek Villain by readers of Totalscifionline.com and Star Trek Magazine.

The ruthless genetically-enhanced baddie was played by the late Ricardo Montalbán. The character first appeared in the original series episode Space Seed, which ended with Khan and his acolytes being exiled on an inhospitable world. He then re-appeared as the central villain in 1982's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, where his devilish deeds included placing Ceti eels in Chekov and Terrell's ears.

Other memorable villains to receive votes included the slinky Borg Queen, the Machiavellian Gul Dukat and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country's General Chang.

The new villains-themed issue of Titan Publishing's official Star Trek Magazine is released on November 3, 2009 (US) and November 19, 2009 (UK).

Khan is the greatest Star Trek villain of all time.

Period.

If I prefer Gul Dukat, I'd say Khan is also a great choice. But if you go with actual damage, Nero wins the palm.

Who else even comes close? Maybe Kor in the original series, but that's about it.

Maybe it's because Star Trek has always favored tolerance and understanding, but Trek has never really focused on creating great recurring villains.

That's one thing I would have loved to have seen with TNG, for example. A great Romulan villain that could go toe-to-toe against Picard in any situation. A Moriarty to Picard's Holmes.

To reference Kor again, "It would have been glorious!"

A good choice I might add. I had such great quotes. And let's not forget, Khan did everything with such "passion".
