History Characters / StarTrekTheOriginalSeriesSpock

* HurtingHero:
** He admits to Pike that traveling to space makes him miss his sister a bit more each time.
** When doing a mind meld with La'an she rapidly picks up on Spock's grief for his sister. When she asks, Spock abruptly suggests they should end the mind meld.
** Spock admits to T'Pring that his life on Vulcan isn't easy, between bullying he endured as a child, and the feel that he constantly had to prove his Vulcan-ness.
** When he releases his emotions, what comes out is mostly pain and rage, and he's seen punching a dent into one of the ''Enterprise's'' walls.

* CharacterDeath: passes away of old age shortly prior to the third Abrams movie. He was 161.

'''Spock Prime''': I implied.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:When he is contacted in ''Into Darkness'', he says that he does not wish to share too much information in order to preserve the timeline, but when he hears that Khan is involved in a war with the ''Enterprise'', he promptly gives Spock the advice they need to win]].

* TheStoic: Oddly enough, to a much lesser degree than most other Vulcans, as he admits to being quite saddened by the destruction of his homeworld, not that anybody could blame him for that. He also tells younger Spock to loosen up a little. He's also visibly sad in [[spoiler:''Into Darkness'' when Kelvin!Spock asked him what he was supposed to do with Khan, as he's remembering the fact he had to die]].

* UnstoppableRage: Displays this when fighting the Gorn hatchling and letting go of his emotions. Unfortunately, Spock can't easily reign it back in once he's done, at least till Chapel gives him a CooldownHug.

* TheSpock: He's slowly growing into the TropeNamer he will become by Kirk's time. Though he does have some trouble reining in his emotions, Spock is still the most logically minded of the ''Enterprise'' crew. [[spoiler:An alternate version of him in "A Quality of Mercy" has fully embraced this, though [[AndIMustScream he sadly doesn't get to experience things like his Prime self would.]]]]

* RankUp: Spock, a Lieutenant in his last appearance in ''Star Trek Discovery,'' has been promoted to Lieutenant Commander as of the first episode of ''Strange New Worlds.''

* CulturalPosturing:
** Spock seldom lets pass an opportunity to condescendingly pontificate about the superiority of the Vulcan philosophy. In-series, this is largely why Bones (who, as his {{foil}}, is a passionate defender of humanism) "picks on" him so much and is able to get away with remaining sympathetic to audiences; wouldn't ''you'' get fed up with a co-worker constantly shoe-horning his political views into every conversation?

* DoomedByCanon: Not him, but his romance to T'Pring, as the audience knows it will fall apart by "Amok Time".

* MommasBoy: ''Cries'' over never telling his mom he loved her, and has a far better relationship with her than his father.

* ScienceHero: As the Enterprise's First Officer, Spock is this. He's regularly called on to fix communicators and other forms of technology. He's also studied light-sensitive parasitic life forms that induce pain and a galaxy eating amoeba. Not to mention that one time he woke up in the middle of his own operation and instructed McCoy on how to reconnect his brain to his body.

* BadassBaritone: This version of Spock is noticeably deeper voiced than any other we've seen. He also has mad ''suus-mahna'' skills and super brain that one would expect of a Vulcan.

* BadassBaritone: His deep, gruff voice adds to his badassery.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With [=McCoy=]. That Spock considers him a close friend is established beyond all doubt in "Amok Time," when he invites him, along with Kirk, down to Vulcan to witness a ceremony which is deeply private and personal to Vulcans. [=McCoy=],in complete sincerity tells Spock that he would be honored.

** The same three "Kelvinverse" movies, which take place in an AlternateReality where EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether and a younger Spock (played by Creator/ZacharyQuinto) appears opposite a younger Kirk (Creator/ChrisPine).

* ExactWords: In "Forgotten History", he informs Kirk he and an alternate T'Pring are working on a way to facilitate communication. Alone. Together. For several days. (Apparently the psychic link applies even with alternate versions of a person).

* OnlyOneName: Spock's full name was unrevealed for nearly 60 years real-time. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gMVrQ4Zq3M As he stated to one of his girlfriends]] in the original series, [[TheUnpronouncable "You couldn't pronounce it."]] ''Strange New Worlds'' finally reveals his full name to be S’Chn T’Gai Spock.

* CharacterDeath: passes away of old age after transitioning, and PassingTheTorch, to the "Kelvin" Timeline / Abramsverse. He was 161.

->'''Dubbed in French by:''' Régis Dubos (TOS), Jacques Harden (Star Trek: the Motion Picture), Robert Party (Star Trek II, IV, V and VI), Michel Bardinet (Star Trek III)

* MindRape: In hindsight, trying to mind meld with the vast, living computer of V'Ger was ''not'' Spock's most sensible move ever. He screams in pain from the sheer sensory overload, and comes out the other side seeing that logic is no longer the be-all and end-all.

The chief science officer aboard the ''Enterprise''.

* AmbiguouslyGay: “Amok Time” has him try to create feelings for Chapel when there aren’t any, “The Naked Time” has him ashamed of his friendship for Kirk much like someone hating themselves for being gay, and of all people, Mudd seems to get it the most, telling Spock that he’s ill-equipped to appreciate the beauty of women.

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: [[UpToEleven ''Three-dimensional'' chess,]] that is.
