Carol Marcus - Federation Scientist & A Starfleet Captain's Love

Can I cook, or can't I?  Dr. Carol Marcus, one of the United Federation of Planets top scientists, is responsible for creating the massively complex Genesis Device.  This awesomely powerful energy device can literally re-imagine a world into something new.  We meet this innovative visionary in the feature film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and marvel at the great potential of her Genesis Device to accomplish terraforming.

Played by Bibi Besch (Tremors), Dr. Marcus has more than a friendly familiarity with one Captain James T. Kirk.  Back in the day, the two professionals were intense flames, and their union even produced a son, David - who works with Marcus on the terraforming project.  Sadly, at the close of the film, we see that although Carol Marcus tried to give the galaxy a potentially remarkable gift of creation, it devolves into a violent error of destruction.

In director J.J. Abrams' alternate reality do over of Wrath of Khan, Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013), Dr. Carol Marcus is played by British actress Alice Eve.
