Here's Khan Before All That Wrath
Some casual Trek fans may never have seen Khan outside of the blockbuster motion picture Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. Played with memorable gusto by Ricardo Montalban, the villainous, though charismatic Khan was introduced in the classic, original series, Space Seed.
After nearly killing him and commandeering his starship, Captain Kirk (William Shatner) regrets releasing the Earth despot from his deep hibernation on the cryogenic ship - the SS Botany Bay.
Hey, shit happens.

Star Trek Villains - The Bad Guys & Gals
Star Trek loves to showcase the bad guys and gals. From Khan (Ricardo Montalban) to Kang (Michael Ansara) and Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill) to the Borg Queen (Alice Krige), the universe that producer Gene Roddenberry created way back in 1966 loves to give us a few black hat wearing villains to mightily mix things up. Set phasers on evil grin!

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight: Khan Noonien Singh - Ricardo Montalban
Star Trek sexy villains deliver both a sense of danger and even a sexual magnetism. Take The Borg Queen from Star Trek: First Contact: played by Alice Krige (Stephen King's Sleepwalkers), the Queen of those cybernetic zombies is both frightening and seductive. Before she tried to seduce Data by transforming him into a flesh and blood human - or at least something akin to one - there was a genetically enhanced human being from Earth - Khan. Played by Ricardo Montalban, the character defines the raw sexuality of Gene Roddenberry's universe.
First showcased in the memorable TOS episode, Space Seed, opposite actress Madlyn Rue, Khan was later utilized by producer Harve Bennett (The Bionic Woman) and director Nicholas Meyer (Time After Time) to fuel the villain flames of the iconic feature film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. After a respected career in films and TV, Montalban became best known as the enigmatic Mr. Rourke on the classic TV show Fantasy Island. Khan may not have fulfilled anyone's fantasy, only gave a few of us nightmares, but the two characters definitely had charisma to spare.
