History Characters / StarTrekFirstContact

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's not mentioned what happened to her when the ''Enterprise''-F was brought online in 2386, only that the ''E'''s final mission was marked "Classified" and that's it.

* NearDeathExperience: She is left defenseless against the ''Scimitar'' in ''Nemesis''. [[spoiler:It's only through Data's HeroicSacrifice that she gets to live to fight another day.]]

* UncertainDoom: She makes a cameo in ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekProdigy'' as part of a response fleet sent to intercept the stolen ''Protostar'', only for the ship's Living Construct weapon to plant a virus in the entire fleet to force them to tear one another apart. While the ''Protostar'' is destroyed to shut down the attack, it's not clear if the ''E'' made it, especially since ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' confirmed the ''Odyssey'' class ''Enterprise-F'' from ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' is due to debut in Season 3.

%%* BaldOfEvil: She's bald and evil.

* [[TheManBehindTheMonsters The Woman Behind The Monsters]]: She is the entity who controls the Borg.

* [[UnfazedEveryman Unfazed Everywoman]]

* AllThereInTheManual: The novelization of First Contact reveals he actually suffers from Bipolar Disorder, and has a cranial implant designed to treat the disease. However, after the near societal collapse following WW3, he no longer has the resources to maintain the implant. His alcoholism thus a desperate attempt at self-medication. At the end of the story, Dr. Crusher provides him with a permanent fix, reasoning that there is nothing in the history books saying Cochrane was mentally ill, and that an unmedicated bipolar diplomat dealing with famously stoic visitors could be disastrous.

* [[TheManBehindTheMonsters The Woman Behind The Monsters]]: She is the entity who controls the Borg...sort of. More accurately, she's the personification of the Borg Collective.

* BaldOfEvil: She's bald and evil.
* BaldWoman: She has wires instead of hair.

* BadassGay: Is revealed to be one in expanded material with a boyfriend who later enlists and holds resentment towards Picard.

* BlackBestFriend: To Zefram Cochrane.

* [[TheManBehindTheMonsters The Woman Behind The Monsters]]: She is the entity who controls the Borg

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He gets increasingly annoyed by the crew constantly praising him for being a visionary that changes the world--finally telling Riker that he was OnlyInItForTheMoney. Riker [[ThePolyanna thankfully wasn't disillusioned]] and gave him a pep-talk, using one of his own future quotes in the process.

* BigDamnHeroes / GunshipRescue: Her appearance is when the battle against the Borg turns in the Federation's favor.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He gets increasingly annoyed by the crew constantly praising him for being a visionary that changes the world--finally telling Riker that he was OnlyInItForTheMoney.

* BrokenPedestal
** Surprisingly enough, this is mostly averted. While the ''Enterprise'' crew does look up to him, they also remember that he was a flawed human living in mankind's darkest period of history. So, while they do get annoyed with his RefusedTheCall attitude, they don't see him any differently then they did before.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: Subverted. Her tactical collision against the ''Scimitar'' in Nemesis only takes out its shielding and cloaking device, but the ''Scimitar'''s main weapon remains intact and Shinzon intends to vaporize Earth once he destroys the ''Enterprise''. [[spoiler:Data saves her, at the cost of his own life.]]

* CrazyAwesome: He blasts music while launching the Phoenix, then gets drunk with the aliens he makes contact with.

* TheOtherDarrin: Glenn Corbett played him in "Metamorphosis." Of course, Corbett was unavailable, having developed a slight case of [[AuthorExistenceFailure death]] in 1993.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Tries this on Data. [[spoiler: It fails, though he seriously considered her proposal for 0.68 seconds.]] It's also implied that [[spoiler: this was her aim with Picard when he was Locutus.]]
* [[TheManBehindTheMonsters The Woman Behind The Monsters]]

* FamedInStory: He was first introduced in [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries the Original Series]] as the inventor of warp drive. Now we finally get to see him initiate FirstContact with [[spoiler: the Vulcans]].

* AudienceSurrogate: for non-Trekkies per [[WordOfGod Ronald D. Moore in the DVD commentary.]]

* CassandraTruth: ''Enterprise'' would reveal that he attempted to tell people about what really happened during First Contact, but he was ignored and later recanted his claims. The crew of the Enterprise-E took great care to make sure had no hard evidence of his claims.

* BigDamnHeroes: Her appearance is when the battle against the Borg turns in the Federation's favor.
