| 35 | Kirk's best friend. An Earth physician who lost everything except "his bones" in a divorce with his wife, he was left with no other option than to join Starfleet as a medical officer, despite being deathly scared of space. He quickly became the ship's chief medical officer. He is the "[[TheHeart heart]]" of the crew, offering Kirk moral advice. |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * BadassPacifist: He doesn't see as much action as his crewmates, mainly owing to his position, but [=McCoy=]'s nerve and moral strength qualify him. |
| 38 | * BrokenBird: Alluded to as an ugly divorce (and if future movies keep with the original series, being forced to euthanize his dying father and losing custody of his daughter Joanna) has left [=McCoy=] with nothing left but his bones. |
| 39 | * ChivalrousPervert: Not to the extent that Kirk is, but he has shades of this when he and Dr. Marcus are [[spoiler: cracking open one of the torpedoes]] on a deserted planet. |
| 40 | --> '''Bones''': You know, when I dreamed about being stuck on a deserted planet with a gorgeous woman, [[spoiler:there was no torpedo]]!\ |
| 41 | '''Kirk''': Dr. [=McCoy=], may I remind you, that you are not there to ''flirt''.\ |
| 42 | '''Bones''': So, how can these legendary hands help you, Dr. Marcus?\ |
| 43 | '''Kirk''': Bones... |
| 44 | * CombatMedic: His designated role on most away missions; in ''Beyond'', after being stranded planetside, separated from the rest of the crew and with an injured Spock in tow, he is forced to remove a piece of shrapnel from Spock under less than ideal circumstances (using a jury-rigged phaser and a piece of metal to cauterise the wound), and eventually manages to stabilise him with outdated but still functional supplies found on the USS Franklin. |
| 45 | * TheConsigliere: To Kirk. The third film in particular implies that Kirk tends to celebrate his birthdays quietly with only [=McCoy=] as company. [[spoiler:After the ordeal they had to go through in that film, he also sees fit to actually throw Kirk a surprise party anyway.]] |
| 46 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Gets much more to do, and much more character development, in ''Star Trek Beyond,'' after having very little to do in ''Star Trek Into Darkness.'' Something of an EnforcedTrope, as Urban was considering quitting the series after the second film. |
| 47 | * DeadpanSnarker: Wouldn't be Bones if he wasn't. Mainly towards Kirk, but he gets some shots in towards Spock as well. |
| 48 | -->'''Bones''': Don't agree with me, Spock. It makes me very uncomfortable. |
| 49 | ** And in the first film, when he tells Spock the ship's doctor is dead, while dealing with a room rapidly filling with injured patients; |
| 50 | --> '''Spock''': Then you have just inherited his responsibilities as Chief Medical Officer. |
| 51 | --> '''Bones''': Tell me something I ''[[CaptainObvious don't]]'' know! |
| 52 | * DrJerk: While he's more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, his bedside manner leaves something to be desired, especially when he's treating Kirk. |
| 53 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/TopGun Nick "Goose" Bradshaw]], at least in the first film. Both serve as the best friend of [[MilitaryMaverick Kirk[=/=]Maverick]], more cautious than their friend, and have a family (though [=McCoy=]'s relationship with his family is much more strained). On the other hand, Bones doesn't get killed. |
| 54 | * FascinatingEyebrow: A notable quirk of [=McCoy=] which Creator/KarlUrban actually possessed in real life before taking on the role. |
| 55 | * FirstNameBasis: With Kirk. |
| 56 | * FreudianTrio: The ego as the one functioning as a go-between to Kirk's id and Spock's superego. |
| 57 | * GoodIsNotNice: Bones is a good, decent man, but he's also constantly snarky and almost never smiles. |
| 58 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: He has elements of this with Kirk, especially in the first movie to the point where [=McCoy=] couldn't leave Kirk behind when the latter was grounded due to academic probation. |
| 59 | * HospitalHottie: A given for a doctor played by the handsome Creator/KarlUrban. |
| 60 | * ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: Twice in the first film, and once in the second. |
| 61 | --> "''I told you people, I don't need a doctor, damn it, I ''am'' a doctor!''"\ |
| 62 | "''Dammit man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!''"\ |
| 63 | "''I'm a doctor, not a torpedo technician!''" |
| 64 | ** Combined with CurseCutShort in the third film: |
| 65 | --> "''I'm a doctor, not a fu-''" (beamed away) |
| 66 | * InSeriesNickname: Kirk coins the nickname "Bones" for him, taking it from a line of [=McCoy=]'s. |
| 67 | --> '''[=McCoy=]''': The ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I've got left is my bones. |
| 68 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He frequently snarks and complains, but deep down, [=McCoy=] is a compassionate, caring man who cares for the welfare of his friends. |
| 69 | * KnightInSourArmor: Despite [=McCoy=]'s cynicism, he never stops trying to do the right thing. |
| 70 | * TheLancer: Shares this role with Spock. He's the serious, cynical counterpart to Kirk's laid back, optimism (if occasional arrogance). |
| 71 | * TheMcCoy: [[TropeNamer Duh]]. Downplayed compared to his Prime Universe counterpart, but Bones often acts as a down-to-Earth adviser for Kirk. |
| 72 | * TheMedic: He's the Chief Medical Officer aboard the ''Enterprise'' thus is well-versed in all types of medicine and biology. He is responsible for healing the crew as needed. |
| 73 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Constantly hounds Kirk for his reckless behavior. When Kirk dies and is brought into sickbay during ''Into Darkness'', [=McCoy=] is speechless. He walks away from the corpse, sits at his desk and breaks down]]. |
| 74 | * PerpetualFrowner: Fans have noted that he's always frowning, though deleted scenes show him smiling twice. He also smiles a few times in ''Beyond''. |
| 75 | * ReimaginingTheArtifact: The nickname "Bones" was originally derived from "Sawbones", a term for doctors and especially surgeons (the full form is occasionally used in the original series). The term has fallen out of use today, so it instead comes from something [=McCoy=] says. |
| 76 | * SarcasticDevotee: [=McCoy=] is devoted to Kirk, yet never stops complaining about everything he does. |
| 77 | * TheSnarkKnight: [=McCoy=]'s divorce left him bitter and cynical, which he shows with frequent barbs, usually directed at Kirk or Spock. |
| 78 | * SouthernFriedGenius: A trained and experienced doctor from the south. He even indulges in folksy metaphors. |
| 79 | * StepfordSnarker: In the first shuttle scene with Kirk, it's hinted that [=McCoy=] uses sarcasm to hide his vulnerability and sadness over losing everything in the divorce. |
| 80 | * SuperDoc: In ''Into Darkness'', [[spoiler: he brings Kirk back from the dead with nothing but a tribble and Khan's blood.]] |
| 81 | * TalksLikeASimile: He drops so many southern-themed metaphors in the sequel that Kirk actually ''orders'' him to stop. Spock being, well, Spock, does not entirely get them either. |
| 82 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: He's a good-looking guy whose dialogue is roughly 50% snark. |
| 83 | * TeamDad: He lectures both Spock and Kirk about their actions, hoping to talk some sense into them. |
| 84 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Kirk, ''heavy'' on the vitriolic side with Spock. |
| 85 | * YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: To Spock: |
| 86 | -->'''Bones''': Don't agree with me, Spock. It makes me very uncomfortable. |
| 87 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Much like his Prime counterpart, Bones ''does not'' like transporters. |
| 88 | * YouAreInCommandNow: A variation in the first film, where his supervising medical officer is killed and he ends up having to take over. |

| 100 | The ship's communication officer. She's had a run-in with Kirk before he joined Starfleet as he attempted to hit on her (eventually starting a bar brawl), but never even remotely expressed any interest in him. In a relationship with Spock. |
| 101 | ---- |
| 102 | * AdaptationalBadass: Uhura's ActionGirl qualities get a lot more attention here than in the original series. |
| 103 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's a tall, mature, beautiful girl with long dark hair. |
| 104 | * AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: ''Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' showed that in the main timeline, Uhura was timid and nervous. In the Kelvin timeline, she's assertive and confident. |
| 105 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Uhura has keen ears and an eidetic memory when it comes to sound, which makes her as a perfect Communications Officer. |
| 106 | * BadassNormal: No superpowers, but she'll [[spoiler:willingly take on Khan, a SuperSoldier, and help take him down if she needs to]], and also put herself at risk of being attacked by Klingons. Then there's ''Beyond'', where she runs into a room unarmed that contains two of Krall's mooks. Seven seconds later she's the only one still standing. |
| 107 | * BattleCouple: Her and Spock as they accompany Kirk to a war-torn world in order to track down John Harrison. She also assists Spock during the climactic TraintopBattle with Khan. |
| 108 | * BerserkButton: Unless you want to face her wrath or the [[spoiler:Klingons]], don't interrupt her when she's [[spoiler:negotiating with said Klingons.]] |
| 109 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Shown in full in the sequel. Unless you want to deal with the woman who battled a Klingon and [[spoiler:fired at a superhuman]], please don't upset her. |
| 110 | * BigEater: "Hi. I'd like a Clabmin fire tea, 3 Budweiser Classics, 2 Cardassian sunrises, and a...A Slusho mix, thank you." Heck, Uhura's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood favorite food]] is ''Rokeg Blood Pie''. |
| 111 | * BlackAndNerdy: Uhura is African and excelled in her academics. |
| 112 | * BrainyBrunette: She has dark hair and speaks (at least) Klingon and three dialects of Romulan. |
| 113 | * BrattyTeenageDaughter: The comics have child Uhura pictured as one with complaining over trivial things and smarting off to her parents. |
| 114 | * BreakTheCutie: When she was a teenager, Uhura witnessed her uncle's death. She never told anyone until Spock through their mind-meld. |
| 115 | * ClingyJealousGirl: {{Downplayed}}. The IDW comics show that she can become jealous if another female appears interested in Spock, but even so she remains professional. |
| 116 | * CommunicationsOfficer: Upon realizing her qualifications, Pike immediately replaces the then-current communications officer with Uhura. |
| 117 | * CompositeCharacter: Of the original Uhura and some elements of Nurse Chapel. |
| 118 | * CunningLinguist: She ''is'' a xenolinguistics expert. It's her ear for speech patterns that [[spoiler:helps identify Krall's true identity as Balthazar Edison.]] |
| 119 | * DamselOutOfDistress: |
| 120 | ** Uhura was briefly captured by a Klingon soldier, but managed to free herself and injure him. |
| 121 | ** Her main role in ''Beyond'' after a nonlethal HeroicSacrifice strands her with Krall. Significant portions of the film are dedicated to her escape attempts, and she ends up saving Spock when he came to rescue her. |
| 122 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: When she was only a teenager, Uhura witnessed the death of her uncle. |
| 123 | * DeadpanSnarker: |
| 124 | --> '''Uhura''': And here I thought you were just a dumb hick who [[BestialityIsDepraved only has sex with farm animals]].\ |
| 125 | '''Kirk''': [[SnarkToSnarkCombat Well... not]] ''[[SnarkToSnarkCombat only]]''... |
| 126 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Subverted. Uhura is actually a nice and open person, but put up a cool shoulder towards Kirk because of his flirty ways. [[DoubleSubversion Double subverted]] as the movies go on, and her respect and care for Kirk becomes more apparent. [[spoiler: Especially after his death in ''[[Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness Into Darkness]]''.]] |
| 127 | * DudeMagnet: Had [[ChivalrousPervert Kirk]] chasing after her in the first movie. She won ''[[SugarAndIcePersonality Spock's]]'' heart. It's also implied in the first movie and the comics that Uhura has a number of guys falling for her. In the first film, she immediately caught the attention from [[http://lucystillintheskywithdiamonds.tumblr.com/post/88463321914/star-trek-2009 this guy.]] |
| 128 | * GirlyBruiser: She has no problem going hand-to-hand with a Klingon if she has to. |
| 129 | * GoGetterGirl: Uhura is determined to become the best xenolinguistics expert in Starfleet. She also is the one who makes the first move in her relationship with Spock. |
| 130 | * GoodWithNumbers: [[AllThereInTheManual According to her biography on the Star Trek movie app,]] she graduated with honors from the Institute for Advanced Mathematics in 2255 where she then enrolled in Starfleet Academy. |
| 131 | * InterspeciesRomance: She (a human) and Spock (half-human, half-Vulcan). In the ''Comicbook/StarTrekIDW'' comics, she made the first move of asking him out on a date. |
| 132 | * LadyOfWar: Uhura certainly fits a number of the characteristics, especially in regards to her absolute calm, feminine grace and physical ability. She has absolutely no fear of teleporting onto a moving vehicle and firing at adversaries if she needs to. |
| 133 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: She and [[HeterosexualLifePartners Kirk]] are this to [[TheStoic Spock.]] She is one of the very few people he opens up to emotionally. [[WordOfStPaul Zoe Saldana]] even describes how she and Kirk are emotional crutches to Spock in ''For the Love of Spock'': |
| 134 | -->'''Zoe:''' "Everytime he [Spock] goes into a negative place, or he starts being a little bit of a pessimist, he allows Uhura and Kirk to snap him out of it. And I really like that." |
| 135 | * {{Magnetic Hero}}ine: The tie-in comic reveals Uhura puts everyone in a good mood. In fact, she's the ''sole'' person who can pull a smirk from [[TheStoic Spock]]. |
| 136 | * MinoredInAsskicking: She generally stays out of most firefights, but on occasion she'll step in and kick ass. |
| 137 | * MoralityPet: To [[TheStoic Spock]]. {{Downplayed}} in that while Spock may come off as aloof and cold, he's not a bad person. But Uhura is one of the very few to make him show his more human side. |
| 138 | * MsFanservice: |
| 139 | ** The first film includes a scene of Uhura in her underwear. |
| 140 | ** We also get a long shot of her rear in the sequel. |
| 141 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: Uhura is given the first name Nyota (Swahili for "star.") Note this name was {{Fanon}} for a ''long'' time before the film came out, and already had the approval of both Gene Roddenberry and Nichelle Nichols, so it was mostly making it official at that point. |
| 142 | * NervesOfSteel: Facing off against a squad of Klingons with no weapons, and using their native language to avoid violence? That sounds fine. Being beamed onto a moving vehicular transport while it's going at full speed? Not a problem for Uhura. She also keeps her cool when faced with Krall. |
| 143 | * NiceGirl: Don't let her apparent aloofness fool you, Uhura is a friendly, sociable and warmhearted individual. In fact, she told one of her classmates off for punching Kirk, even though he [Kirk] was starting to become an inappropriate flirt. |
| 144 | * {{Omniglot}}: [[AllThereInTheManual According to her dossier at the official Star Trek movie website,]] Uhura originates from Africa and was the Academy aide for the advanced phonology and advanced acoustical engineering courses. She is proficient in 83% of official Federation languages and regional dialects. She was also Vice President of Starfleet Academy's Chorale Ensemble. |
| 145 | * PassionateSportsGirl: She played competitive racquetball in school. |
| 146 | * PluckyGirl: No one's stopping her from being assigned to the ''Enterprise''. |
| 147 | * PromotedToLoveInterest: There were a few scenes between Spock and Uhura in early TOS episodes that could be seen as flirting, but it never really went anywhere. The film, on the other hand, has them in an established relationship. |
| 148 | * SilkHidingSteel: |
| 149 | ** Uhura is a wise and well-mannered woman, but she is perfectly capable of handling herself. |
| 150 | ** Spock even tells Kirk that intervening in her attempt to use diplomacy with the Klingons will not only incur the wrath of said Klingons, but Uhura herself. |
| 151 | ** Further reinforced in the IDW comics when Kirk admitted he'd rather go ten rounds with Admiral Pike than face her. |
| 152 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Uhura fell in love with Spock, and never was interested in [[HandsomeLech Kirk]]. The reasons stem from how Spock was genuinely interested in her character and intelligence; Kirk was interested in her physical beauty and because she refused to tell him her first name, Kirk also saw her as a "challenge". Fortunately, Kirk backed off when he discovered her relationship with Spock. And from [[WordOfStPaul her actress,]] Spock is loyal, honest, intelligent and brave. The only problem she has is his habit of putting the job before his life. [[AllThereInTheManual “The Delta Anomaly”]] has a moment where Uhura [[http://spockuhuralove.tumblr.com/post/25021096861/spyota-snippets-from-the-delta-anomaly-3 point out]] a lot of Spock's positive traits she noticed in her first year at the Academy. |
| 153 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: A tie-in comic reveals she was able to beat ''Spock''. '''In 3-D chess'''. |
| 154 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only woman among the main cast until Carol Marcus joins the crew in the sequel. |
| 155 | * TheSocialExpert: The female presence with the most emotional intelligence. According to Kirk, she is able to put everyone onboard the Enterprise in a good mood. She also specializes in communications, and has been damseled more than once (though she likes to fight her way out of these situations.) |
| 156 | * StudentTeacherRomance: With Spock, her profile implies she served as his teaching aide. Confirmed in the IDW comics, but they did not get romantically involved until after her time as his aide was over. |
| 157 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to a few Tomboys such as Carol Marcus and Jaylah. |
| 158 | * TookALevelInBadass: As a Starfleet officer she is already pretty badass, but between the second and third movies she picked up enough hand to hand combat skills to dispatch two of Krall's drone soldiers by herself. |
| 159 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: The IDW comics reveals she has a taste for Rokeg Blood Pie. |
| 160 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: A downplayed version as she's primarily a xenolinguistics expert and Spock is more than capable of handling himself. But when Spock looks like he's in trouble when fighting [[spoiler:Khan on top of a moving vehicle and Khan is about to crush his head in,]] she quickly beams down to the fight and repeatedly blasts [[spoiler:Khan with her phaser]]. She also has no qualms thrashing several drone mooks by herself when she sees them approaching [[spoiler:a badly injured Spock when he beams down into Krall's prison camp to free the crew.]] |
| 161 | ** Spock tells Kirk that it would be unwise to intervene in Uhura's attempt at diplomacy unless they want to incur the wrath of the Klingons... and Uhura. |

| 172 | |
| 173 | The most brilliant trans-warp physicist and ship engineer alive, he's largely responsible for bringing the technology as a whole to where it currently is. That said, a certain NoodleIncident regarding a prized beagle landed him at a [[ReassignedToAntarctica dead-end recon station]] for months -- that is, until Kirk and Spock Prime ran into him. Works as the ship's main chief engineer. |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * TenMinuteRetirement: He briefly leaves the Enterprise, but later returns [[spoiler: helping Kirk and Khan get on-board Admiral Marcus' ship and fighting alongside them too]]. |
| 176 | * ApologeticAttacker: In ''Into Darkness'', where he apologizes to a ''Vengeance'' security guard just before [[spoiler:he opens the airlock to allow Kirk and Khan to enter the ship and lets the guard [[ThrownOutTheAirlock exit the same way]]]]. |
| 177 | * BadassBookworm: Initially, he hadn't been made out as much of a physical guy, but he did pretty well in any case. |
| 178 | * BadassNormal: No superpowers, but he's a good enough fighter to get by, even being able to knock [[spoiler:Khan]] out for a few seconds with a well-aimed stun blast. |
| 179 | * BlatantLies: When dealing with a ''Vengeance'' guard, everything that comes out of his mouth is this. |
| 180 | --> '''Vengeance Security''': The person counting down, what is that?\ |
| 181 | '''Scotty''': I think you're hearing things, mate. |
| 182 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a bit daft, but he's the one who beamed himself and Kirk onto the ''Enterprise'' mid-warp, which is no easy feat. |
| 183 | * ButtMonkey: He nearly drowns in the first film, and in the second film goes into self-inflicted retirement, gets trapped on the enemy ship, has to face a big goon while trying to open the airlock for Kirk to get inside the ship, is beaten by Khan, and he and Kirk are nearly killed several times while attempting to reach the engine room of the ''Enterprise''. |
| 184 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Has a ''much'' more substantial role in ''Into Darkness'', where he even goes out into the field with Kirk and [[spoiler:Khan]] at the film's climax. |
| 185 | * DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments. |
| 186 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: He got mocked for his transwarp theory and when he ''does'' actually prove it can be done, the Starfleet Brass promptly confiscated his equation. He's pretty mad about it in ''Into Darkness'', particularly after Harrison used a portable transwarp device to escape after attacking the top officers in Starfleet. |
| 187 | * TheEngineer: He quickly takes over as Chief Engineer for the ''Enterprise''. |
| 188 | * GadgeteerGenius: Played with. It was the prime timeline Scotty who discovered the formula for transwarp beaming, but this Scotty is the one who managed to adapt it to 23rd century technology without much difficulty. |
| 189 | ** In ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'', Scotty goes up to eleven. First, he seems to have learned about being able to use photon torpedoes to store live bodies, as he jury rigs one into an impromptu escape pod. Then he is able to raise a century-old starship from the dead and configure it for atmospheric flight which it was never able to do. Then, finally, he ''literally'' goes up to eleven, with Jaylah's assistance, by [[ThePowerOfRock blasting Beastie Boys]] at the enemy to disorient them. |
| 190 | * GeniusBruiser: Of the engineering and transwarping kind. |
| 191 | * GreaseMonkey: He ''loves'' to play around with machines. |
| 192 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: He and his alien assistant Keenser, to the point where the alien resigns at the same time Scotty does. |
| 193 | * ManlyTears: When [[spoiler:Kirk dies from the radiation]] and he can't do anything to save him. |
| 194 | * MrFixit: Par for the course for the character. The third film makes it absolutely clear; if a machine is broken -- he ''will'' fix it, if a system is impossible to work around -- he ''will'' find a way around it. |
| 195 | * MythologyGag: The admiral in the below NoodleIncident? [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Jonathan Archer]]. |
| 196 | * NeverMyFault: He claims something else is responsible. |
| 197 | * NoodleIncident: He tried to prove his methodology on transwarp beaming to a ranking admiral by using said admiral's prized beagle as a test subject. The dog has yet to reappear anywhere, which caused Scotty to be ReassignedToAntarctica on Delta Vega. In the tie-in novel, it reappears on the ''Enterprise''. |
| 198 | * PluckyComicRelief: Most of his screentime in the first film is devoted to comic relief. |
| 199 | * ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Those torpedoes that he refused to sign for and temporarily resigned over? Each of them contained a member of Harrison/Khan's crew and would have been used to start a war with the Klingons. He didn't know the former at least at the time, though.]] |
| 200 | * SarcasticDevotee: In the second film, he spends most of his time snarking at Kirk, while remaining loyal to the man. |
| 201 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:He resigns from the ''Enterprise'' early in the sequel as he doesn't want to transport military equipment that could endanger the lives of everyone on board. That, and he's uncomfortable with the idea of the ''Enterprise'' turning into a black ops vessel. Though technically, refusing to sign for warheads with unknown specs, payloads and failure rates ''is'' following the rules; as the senior engineering officer, he's following established safety protocols]]. |
| 202 | * SixthRanger: He joins the ''Enterprise'' crew later than any other character in the first film. |
| 203 | * TechnicalPacifist: He prefers not to fight, but will if the need arises. That said, he insists on keeping his weapons on "stun." [[spoiler:Harrison]] actually calls him out on this, saying that their enemies will have no such qualms. |
| 204 | * ThouShaltNotKill: He insists on keeping his weapon on "stun" rather than "kill", and the one time he DOES break the rule, it's A) out of sheer necessity and B) something he looks genuinely sad about doing. |

| 206 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Keenser. Scotty will yell and berate him, but respects and trusts Keenser's technical prowess. |

| 221 | The ship's replacement, later chief, pilot. He's also a total badass with a sword, and has a poker face that makes ''[=McCoy=]'' proper scared. All said and done, a very nice guy. |
| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * AcePilot: Quite probably one of the best in Starfleet. |
| 224 | -->'''Kirk:''' You can fly this thing, right? [[note]]To elaborate, the crew is about to take off in a centuries old derelict that hasn't flown since the very earliest days of human interstellar travel, that they're not even sure can ''fly''.[[/note]] |
| 225 | -->'''Sulu:''' You ''kidding'' me, sir? |
| 226 | * ActionDad: ''Star Trek Beyond'' reveals he has a husband and daughter. And by then, he's still an amazing pilot and fighter. |
| 227 | * ActorAllusion: An unusual case, in that it's referring to original actor Creator/GeorgeTakei and not to Creator/JohnCho: this Sulu is married to a man, in reference to Takei's sexuality (which was an open secret almost since the original show was first released). |
| 228 | * AdaptationalSexuality: [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Takei's Sulu was married to a woman,]] Cho's is married to a man. |
| 229 | * AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: Sulu has "advanced hand-to-hand combat training," namely fencing. It should be noted, however, that Iaido and UsefulNotes/{{Kendo}} are both considered "fencing," with Iaido being notoriously real-world-applicable when needed. |
| 230 | * BadassBoast: When he takes over as acting captain, he gives a speech that causes Bones to mutter "remind me never to piss you off." |
| 231 | -->'''Sulu:''' Attention, John Harrison. This is Captain Hikaru Sulu of the USS ''Enterprise''. A shuttle of highly trained officers is on its way to your location. If you do not surrender to them immediately, I will unleash the entire payload of advanced long-range torpedoes currently locked on to your location. You have two minutes to confirm your compliance. Refusal to do so will result in your obliteration. If you test me...''you will fail''. |
| 232 | * BadassDriver: He's extremely capable both in and out of a vehicle. |
| 233 | * BadassNormal: He can fight off Romulans despite his lack of powers, with a sword. Keep in mind that Romulans and Vulcans share a similar ancestry and are [[SuperStrength quite tough]], to say the least. |
| 234 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: His BadassBoast to Harrison displays this extremely well. Lampshaded by [=McCoy=]. |
| 235 | --> '''[=McCoy=]''': Mr. Sulu, remind me never to piss you off. |
| 236 | * TheBigGuy: Not physically, but he's fairly stoic and an excellent fighter. |
| 237 | * ForWantOfANail: In the Kelvin Universe, the only reason he was on the ''Enterprise'' for its first mission was that her assigned helmsman came down with lungworms. He soon demonstrates his credentials and Kirk keeps him on the crew. |
| 238 | * GoodIsNotSoft: |
| 239 | ** In the first film, he kicks a Romulan into one of the thermal vents on the drill, incinerating him in an instant. He then impales the second one in the back and pushes him off the drill. |
| 240 | ** In the sequel, he readily and convincingly threatened Harrison with the experimental torpedoes aboard the ''Enterprise''. |
| 241 | * HappilyMarried: Sulu has a husband and young child. Notably, even Kirk clearly regards it as a heartwarming moment when he sees Sulu embrace his family. |
| 242 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: In the reboot comics, at least three secret organizations of varying levels of villainy attempt to recruit him, but Sulu wisely resists. |
| 243 | * JumpedAtTheCall: Immediately puts his hand up when Pike asks for volunteers to destroy the drill on Vulcan. |
| 244 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: Sulu fights Romulans with a folding sword that looks a lot like a katana, though it could also be a saber. He describes his combat training as "fencing." |
| 245 | * LetsGetDangerous: Sulu admits his "advanced combat training" is actually fencing, which earns a seemingly-justified OhCrap face from Kirk and a laugh from the audience. In the fight on the drill that immediately follows, Sulu defeats his opponent (while Kirk gets his ass kicked and has to get bailed out by Sulu). |
| 246 | * MasterSwordsman: Which he displays while fighting Romulan guards in the first film. |
| 247 | * MinoredInAsskicking: As a pilot, he generally doesn't need to do the hands-on work, but easily can on the rare occasion when he does. |
| 248 | * NiceGuy: Quite easily one of the most laid-back members of the crew. That said, he can stand up to you if he so needs to. |
| 249 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Nero's plan would have worked perfectly had he not forgotten to take the Enterprise's "parking brakes" off when they were warping to Vulcan. The delay allowed the Enterprise to escape the ambush at Vulcan to fight another day. |
| 250 | * StraightGay: It was revealed that he is married to a man in ']Beyond'' though there was no indication of his sexual orientation in the previous two films. |
| 251 | * TwoferTokenMinority: Both the only Asian man and the only confirmed gay man among the ''Enterprise'' crew. |
| 252 | * YouAreInCommandNow: Is given command of the ''Enterprise'' after Kirk and Spock leave to arrest Harrison. Sulu refers to himself as "Acting Captain" when he addresses the crew, and later simply as "Captain" when he's trying to intimidate Harrison. Despite some initial doubts on [=McCoy's=] part, he pulls off the role with aplomb. |

| 264 | The ship's tactical officer and navigator. Despite being the youngest at only 17 (during the first film), he's capable enough in his field for even Spock to praise him. |
| 265 | ---- |
| 266 | * ActionSurvivor: In ''Beyond,'' after the Enterprise crashes. He spends the second act keeping up with Kirk, and even gets a BigDamnHeroes moment. |
| 267 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: The original Chekov was pretty sharp, but this version is a ChildProdigy who managed to get a Starfleet commission at the age of 17. |
| 268 | * AffectionateNickname: Scotty sometimes calls him "Wee Man". |
| 269 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: Pavel is the youngest of the crew, being 17 years old. |
| 270 | * BadassAdorable: He can be quite the Badass whenever a crisis occurs. The first movie has Chekov saving Kirk and Sulu through some very skilled transporter use. And just look at him! He's dorky and a NiceGuy. |
| 271 | * BoldlyComing: During ''Beyond'', Chekov is seen coming out of an Orion's bedroom after a fight, is shown to be visibly impressed by Jaylah, and is hitting on an alien woman at the end. |
| 272 | * BreakTheCutie: Briefly in the scene where he's beaming the Vulcan elders out and loses Amanda Grayson. |
| 273 | -->'''Chekov''': I'm losing her! I'm losing her! No, I lost her. [[HeroicBSOD I lost her.]].. |
| 274 | * CasanovaWannabe: In ''Beyond'' he's introduced being kicked out of an Orion's bedroom after a lover's spat. In the last scene, he's shamelessly hitting on an alien woman. |
| 275 | * TheCutie: He's a dork and has a face anyone would want to eat up. |
| 276 | * HasAType: ''Beyond'' shows Chekov having a thing for alien women. |
| 277 | * HeroicBSOD: Not for too long though, see BreakTheCutie. Briefly goes into another one in ''Into Darkness'' after being signed to engineering ([[spoiler:after Scotty quits]]) because he had to put on a RedShirt. |
| 278 | * InnocentBlueEyes: Displaying his youth and cheerful personality. |
| 279 | * IntelligibleUnintelligible: The other characters have no trouble understanding a word Chekov says, despite him having a "Russian" accent thicker than ''borscht''. This is inverted, however, when the computer has no idea what a "nuclear wessel" is. And when the computer can't understand his passcode, because of his mangling of "Vwictor Vwictor". (Incidentally, Creator/AntonYelchin really is Russian-born. The accent is still very, very fake.) |
| 280 | * TheIntern: Which would explain how he managed to become a commissioned officer at 17 years old. |
| 281 | * JackOfAllStats: He's smart enough to back up but never exceed Scotty or Spock. He plays ActionSurvivor to Kirk's hero in ''Beyond.'' He's basically able to fill in for the others when needed. |
| 282 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Kirk tells him to put on a RedShirt, Chekov is [[OhCrap visibly worried]]. |
| 283 | * MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Or at least better at surviving. |
| 284 | * NiceGuy: One of the nicest, most personable members of the crew. |
| 285 | * PluckyComicRelief: Downplayed, but his accent and energetic nature are PlayedForLaughs at times. |
| 286 | * PutOnABus: After Creator/AntonYelchin's death, it was announced that he won't [[TheOtherDarrin be recast]] for the next movie. Still uncertain whether or not TheCharacterDiedWithHim or CharacterOutlivesActor. [[invoked]] |
| 287 | * QuirkyCurls: Contrasting the Monkees-style haircut of Creator/WalterKoenig's Chekov. |
| 288 | * RedHerringShirt: He is forced to put on a RedShirt at one point, suggesting [[AnyoneCanDie he could die at any second]]. (He even looks appropriately ''horrified''.) [[spoiler:Instead, Kirk is the one who ends up dead]]. |
| 289 | * TeenGenius: In the first film, he's only 17, yet a more than capable crewmember of the Federation's flagship. Captain Pike even calls him a "Russian whiz-kid". |
| 290 | * TookALevelInBadass: |
| 291 | ** Chekov manages to level up, relative to his counterpart in the original continuity, by saving Kirk and Sulu through some very skilled transporter use. |
| 292 | ** [[spoiler:And then he's promoted to Chief Engineer when Scotty and Keenser quit as he had been shadowing Scotty. He manages to save Kirk and Scotty from falling to certain death and assists with rebooting the ''Enterprise'']]. |

| 303 | A Roylan engineer who's constantly hovering around Scotty. |
| 304 | ---- |
| 305 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Keenser's intellectual curiosity, technical proficiency and being unusually tall for his species made him an outcast on his home planet. With his family's blessing, he joined Starfleet after meeting George Kirk and Captain Robau, and repairing the ''Kelvin'''s shuttle. |
| 306 | * AllThereInTheManual: In the IDW comics, Keenser's species are revealed to be named the Roylans and he was a friend of George Kirk's. |
| 307 | * BigEater: Inverted. He can eat a ''bean'', and he'll be done. |
| 308 | * BizarreAlienBiology: In ''Beyond'', he comes down with a weird disease that causes him to [[SneezeOfDoom sneeze highly-caustic green goo]]. [[spoiler: The captured members of the crew use it to eat through a lock during an early intelligence-gathering attempt.]] |
| 309 | * EloquentInMyNativeTongue: In the comics, he can talk at length in his native tongue, but can only communicate in one or two words sentences, noises, or actions in Standard. It's enough for Scotty to understand his point. |
| 310 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: While a serious conversation is going on, Keenser seems to form the habit of sitting down on something he really shouldn't, that's taller than he is. This isn't noticed until Scotty looks over and gives his standard response, "Get down!" |
| 311 | * PhraseCatcher: "Get down!" |
| 312 | * TheQuietOne: He's said all of one word in English ("Me") in three movies. He was shouting something at Kirk and Spock Prime when they entered the outpost on Delta Vega, but it wasn't very clear. |
| 313 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: Played straight in relation to humans, but {{Inverted}} when he was at home. Keenser's height is considered tall at his home and he was a lot smarter than his peers. |
| 314 | * TheSilentBob: Able to change Scotty's mind wordlessly. |
| 315 | * SilentSnarker: While he is mostly quiet, Keenser is known to shake his head when Scotty is talking to him. |
| 316 | * ThoseTwoGuys: With Scotty. |
| 317 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Also with Scotty. The two constantly bicker with one another, and Scotty is frequently telling him to "get down" from really high places, but at the end of the day they're good friends and stick together. Even when Scotty was beamed aboard the ''Enterprise'', he let out a small whine in response to his friend leaving him. |
| 318 | * TheVoiceless: It's clear that he ''can'' speak, but he must be setting some sort of movie trivia record in that he only actually says one word ("Me!") over the course of three films, despite having nearly as much screen time as some of the more established secondary main cast. |
| 319 | ** The tie-in novel based on the original script for the 2009 film reveals that he was originally meant to speak at some length to Scotty, Kirk and Spock Prime. Apparently someone at some point decided it was funnier and more effective if he just ''looked'' at them for a really long time. |

| 354 | * ShedTheFamilyName: Introduces herself as Carol ''Wallace'' when she first reports for duty. She justifies this as so that her father does not know that she's investigating why he loaned the experimental torpedoes to the ''Enterprise''. |
| 355 | * ShipTease: |
| 356 | ** Averted. Despite her prime universe counterpart's relationship with Kirk and the fact she's the main unattached female character in the film, [[TheNotLoveInterest her relationship with Kirk never goes beyond platonic]] (albeit with the potential to become romantic in future films). They're as friendly as Kirk is with any other crewmember, and her arc is more about proving herself a valuable member of the ''Enterprise'' crew. |

| 405 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: With Kirk and Spock. |
| 406 | ** He and Kirk had no real association in the original timeline outside of the events of "The Menagerie", but here he convinces Kirk to join Starfleet and serves as something of a mentor to him. |
| 407 | ** Spock was loyal to Pike to the point he led a mutiny in order to help his former captain, but in this timeline their relationship is purely professional. |
| 408 | * AdaptationalTimespanChange: While still Kirk's predecessor, he spends much less time as Captain of the ''Enterprise'' compared to the original timeline. |
| 409 | * BadassInDistress: He spends most of the first film as a prisoner of Nero's. |
| 410 | * BadassNormal: Even after enduring torture at Nero's hands, Pike can still save Kirk's life by gunning down two Romulan mooks. |
| 411 | * BenevolentBoss: Pike ''really'' wants to see Kirk succeed and consistently encourages him to live up to his full potential. |

| 414 | * CoolOldGuy: If it wasn't for him, Kirk would've never joined Starfleet. |

| 426 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Immediately raises the ''Enterprise'' to red alert after being presented Kirk's suspicions of the Romulan attack, setting aside the fact the latter was on the ship illegally in the first place.

| 443 | The father of James T. Kirk and first officer of the USS ''Kelvin''. After the ''Kelvin'' came under attack by the Romulan mining vessel ''Narada'' and Captain Robau was ordered onboard for negotiations, Lieutenant Commander Kirk was made acting captain and placed in charge of the ship's evacuations. When Robau was killed and the ''Kelvin'' was too damaged to stay on autopilot, Kirk stayed behind to prevent the ''Narada'' from destroying the evacuation shuttles. Kirk rammed the ''Kelvin'' into the ''Narada'', [[HeroicSacrifice heroically sacrificing]] himself to save his wife, newborn son and 800 crew. |
| 444 | ---- |
| 445 | * TheCaptain: Of the USS ''Kelvin'', for about twelve minutes. |
| 446 | * DeadAlternateCounterpart: He's this to his Prime Universe counterpart, who according to Spock at least lived long enough to see his son become captain of the Enterprise. His death had a massive impact on Jim's life and personality, and gave him an entirely different motivation to join Starfleet. |
| 447 | * DisappearedDad: He died mere moments after Jim's birth. |

| 452 | * NumberTwo: As first officer on the USS ''Kelvin'', he was second-in-command to Captain Robau. |

| 545 | The head of Starfleet and father of Carol Marcus. He personally organizes and preps the ''Enterprise'' on a black-ops mission to hunt down John Harrison and bring him to justice. |
| 546 | ---- |
| 547 | * AdaptationExpansion: The only thing we know from TOS is that he's the father of Carol and grandfather of David. Here, as you can tell by the spoiler tags, he's definitely ''much'' more important to the plot. |
| 548 | * AmbitionIsEvil: By improving [[spoiler:the defenses of Starfleet, Marcus has turned into one corrupt bastard]]. |
| 549 | * BenevolentBoss: Willing to hear the recently-disgraced Kirk out during a staff meeting when he voices concerns that they are critically misreading the situation, averting the expected NotNowKiddo, and later gives Kirk valuable intel, new weapons, and permission to hunt down Harrison after [[spoiler:Pike is killed.]] [[spoiler:Though he is later revealed to be not-so-benevolent towards Kirk and the ''Enterprise''.]] |
| 550 | ** [[spoiler:He is actually a BadBoss as he's trying to provoke a war with the Klingons by sending the ''Enterprise'' crew off to die, then tries to destroy the ship ''himself'' when Kirk finds out the truth. His treatment of Khan is no better; he threatened his beloved crew in order to force him to continue designing weapons for Section 31, then tries to have him killed after Khan goes rogue]]. |
| 551 | * BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler:With Khan. While Khan wants to revive his crew of superhumans and subjugate inferior races, Marcus plans to sacrifice the ''Enterprise'' so he can start a war with the Klingons.]] |
| 552 | * BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:While Marcus is a credible threat and even manages to kick the shit out of the ''Enterprise'', he becomes nothing more than a tiny little blip on a radar the moment Khan gets his hands on him]]. |
| 553 | * BigGood: |
| 554 | ** He's the head of Starfleet, so it's a given. [[spoiler:Except he's actually coercing Khan to work for his own ends.]] |
| 555 | ** [[spoiler:Though Marcus can also be considered a BigBadWannabe: He is most certainly dangerous and has powerful connections, but the moment Khan gets his hands on him, Marcus comes off as nothing more than a little blip in comparison to the pissed-off super-soldier.]] |
| 556 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:He initially comes off as a reasonable commander. In reality, he's anything but.]] |
| 557 | * BrokenPedestal: To [[spoiler:Pike. Marcus was the reason why he joined Starfleet, but it's safe to assume that he would have been ashamed of Marcus' doings.]] |
| 558 | * TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Lacks Khan's hyper-intelligence, but still has the upper hand on him right up until Khan manages to get on the same ship as him with backup. He loses not because Khan's smarter than he is or because Kirk's a better warrior than he is, but because both men manage to work together just long enough to defeat him by the skin of their teeth]]. |
| 559 | * ChewingTheScenery: During [[spoiler:his VillainousBreakdown]]. |
| 560 | * ContinuityNod: Weller previously played a [[spoiler:racist human extremist looking to plunge Starfleet into a war with its neighbors]] in the penultimate episode of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. He was willing to [[spoiler:fire on Starfleet ships]] then, too. |
| 561 | * CoolOldGuy: Another cool Starfleet admiral similar to Pike. [[spoiler:Except not. What he really is an [[EvilOldFolks old evil bastard]].]] |
| 562 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Khan [[spoiler:''crushes'' his skull]] with his bare hands. |
| 563 | * DaChief: Gives an exasperated speech to Kirk that "Starfleet isn't about vendetta." |
| 564 | * DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler:He commands the pitch-black ''Vengeance''. In addition, the ship features [[EvilIsNotWellLit dim lighting]] and [[ColourCodedforYourConvenience dark uniforms]] for the crew.]] |
| 565 | * DeadpanSnarker: "Well, shit! [[spoiler:You talked to him."]] |
| 566 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: An unusual example in which [[spoiler:he was TheManBehindTheMan for Khan.]] |
| 567 | * DirtyCoward: When [[spoiler:Khan attempts to hijack the ''Vengeance'' (eventually succeeding)]], Marcus makes a run for it, even leaving his daughter behind without a second's hesitation. It doesn't end well for him. |
| 568 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Not in the sense of bellowing in your face, but he's not nice and even his apparent attempts to encourage Kirk come off as "Say your piece or stop wasting my time." [[spoiler:Of course, it makes sense after TheReveal that Kirk was nothing more than a disposable pawn in his agenda.]] |
| 569 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Harrison/Khan kills him later]], after teaming up with the ''Enterprise'' (Kirk and Scotty in particular) [[spoiler:to overcome him.]] |
| 570 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Compare the clothes he wears in the picture to the clothes he wears when we first meet him. Subverted, however, in that Marcus was pretty much EvilAllAlong.]] |
| 571 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Actually does love his daughter Carol, [[spoiler:even if he's a backstabbing warmonger, to the point that when he heard Carol's voice over hail (saying she's on the ''Enterprise''), the ''Vengeance'' stops firing on said ship immediately. He also shows some regret when Pike dies.]] |
| 572 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:It's what makes him such a WalkingSpoiler.]] |
| 573 | * EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:A supportive CoolOldGuy, like Pike, and an emotional leader who is willing to bend rules to get the job done, like Kirk.]] |
| 574 | * EvilIsHammy: [[spoiler:Compare his behavior when we first see him to when he reveals his true colors and his subsequent VillainousBreakdown]]. |
| 575 | * EvilIsNotAToy: Gets killed by [[spoiler:the same superhuman war criminal he tried to use as an agent and then backstabbed]]. |
| 576 | * EvilOldFolks: He's even older than Pike and [[spoiler: is a deceptive and ruthless warmonger]]. |
| 577 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He tends to [[spoiler:call Kirk "son" much like Pike did, but lacks the sincerity or charm]]. |
| 578 | -->'''Marcus:''' That's a hell of an apology. [[spoiler:But if it's any consolation, I was never gonna spare your crew. Fire.]] |
| 579 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: There was never any love between the Klingons and Starfleet, but it was when the Klingons antagonized Section 31 that got Marcus to consider it a war already. [[spoiler:Of course he would. He's a ''member'' of Section 31]]. |
| 580 | * GeneralRipper: His ship, [[spoiler:the ''Vengeance'', is distinctly designed with a more militaristic feel than the ''Enterprise''. He's also willing to destroy the ''Enterprise'' in order to provoke Starfleet into war with the Klingons]]. |
| 581 | * HateSink: [[spoiler:He turns out to be a secret member of Section 31 and pretty much caused Khan's StartOfDarkness by forcing him to develop weapons and withhold the rest of his crew from him to the point he thought they died and responded by attacking London. Then he has the ''Enterprise'' jammed and stuck in space, then threatened to kill them if they didn't turn in Khan, but attempted to kill them anyway to provoke a war with the Klingons in the name of militarizing Starfleet]]. |
| 582 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: In trying to protect Starfleet from what he views as its greatest enemies, [[spoiler:he's inadvertently become one of them]]. |
| 583 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: As [[spoiler:Khan]] tells him before [[spoiler:crushing his skull completely]]: '''''"YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME SLEEP."''''' |
| 584 | * IcyBlueEyes: He has Peter Weller's striking blue eyes which [[spoiler: nicely reflect his cold personality]]. |
| 585 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Though there's a distinct sense that he's lying through his teeth about it. |
| 586 | * InsaneAdmiral: [[spoiler:In grand ''Trek'' tradition, Marcus is really a BloodKnight seeking to start a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. He has no compunction about murdering loyal Starfleet officers in cold blood]]. |
| 587 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He believes that he's the only one who can [[spoiler:lead Starfleet in the war he's planning to start. See the quote in VillainousBreakdown for more details.]] |
| 588 | * ItsAllMyFault: When Harrison attacks Starfleet, he admits that he feels that everyone who was slaughtered was his fault, especially [[spoiler:Pike]].[[spoiler:He goes even further to say that it was a "tactical risk" when he woke Khan up. However, when it comes to sending Kirk to the Neutral Zone and Klingon territory...]] |
| 589 | * JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:{{Deconstructed|Trope}}. He's completely correct in his belief that a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire is coming and that it's too late to defuse it, so the Federation needs to prepare. However, his [[SmugSnake arrogance]] causes him to think he can rein in the dangerous and uncontrollable Khan, while his desperation to give the Federation a head start leads to him committing increasingly amoral acts, like trying to kill the ''Enterprise'' crew to cover up his crimes. So while the {{Jerkass}} has a point, his Jerkassery causes him to both go overboard and botch the job.]] |
| 590 | * KarmicDeath: Gets killed by [[spoiler:Harrison, the agent he tried to sacrifice to start a war with the Klingons]]. |
| 591 | * KickTheDog: Aside from [[spoiler:his attempted murder of everybody on the ''Enterprise'', there's the fact that he would have bombed Harrison to death with torpedoes that contained his own crew. Even for a man as amoral as Harrison, that's just horrifying.]] |
| 592 | * TheKirk: To [[spoiler:Khan/Harrison's [[TheSpock Spock]]]]. He is emotional, adventurous, and willing to bend rules to get the job done. |
| 593 | * KnightTemplar: Believes he's protecting Earth by [[spoiler: starting a war with the Klingons, even though millions will die]]. |
| 594 | * LightIsNotGood: Early in the film, he wore his mostly white admiral's uniform while [[spoiler:manipulating Kirk]]. |
| 595 | * LivingLegend: Pike thinks so. |
| 596 | --> '''Marcus''': Pike always said you were one of our best and brightest. You should have heard him defend you. He's the one who talked you into joining Starfleet, wasn't he?\ |
| 597 | '''Kirk''': Yes, sir.\ |
| 598 | '''Marcus''': Did he ever tell you who talked him into joining? |
| 599 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Played with. [[spoiler:Khan is still the main villain long after he's left the picture, but Marcus is responsible for bringing Khan into the picture in the first place and is a part of Section 31.]] |
| 600 | * ManipulativeBastard: He [[spoiler:decided to steer Kirk's rage into a course that would ignite a war with the Klingon Empire, first by sending him in a Federation ship to Qo'noS, then by giving him orders to bombard the Klingon homeworld, and finally by sabotaging the ''Enterprise'' so that it would be caught by the Klingons. Ultimately backfires on him when key details in his plan are leaked]]. |
| 601 | * MeaningfulName: His first name, ''Alexander'', means "defender of mankind" while his last name, ''Marcus'', is derived from Mars, the Roman god of war. [[spoiler:It fits a man seeking to provoke a war in the name of protecting the Federation (of which humankind is a founding member).]] |
| 602 | * MilkingTheGiantCow: He starts making some pretty forceful hand gestures during his [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown]]. |
| 603 | * MotiveRant: Subverted. See NeverMyFault and VillainousBreakdown. |
| 604 | * NervesOfSteel: [[spoiler:When Kirk, Khan and Scotty storm the deck of the ''Vengeance'', Marcus surprisingly keeps his cool when all of his crew are slaughtered.]] |
| 605 | * NeverMyFault: He placed the blame on [[spoiler:Kirk for starting a war, but he conveniently leaves out how ''he'' was the one who orchestrated the entire thing in the first place.]] |
| 606 | * NoIndoorVoice: Not once does he NOT lower his voice to a more calmer tone, as opposed to Pike or Spock. |
| 607 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: [[spoiler:He holds his fire just long enough to find out what Kirk knows, then opens fire on the ''Enterprise'' with everything he's got. He only pauses afterwards when he realises Carol is aboard the ship, but simply beams her aboard the ''Vengeance'' before continuing his assault.]] |
| 608 | * NonActionBigBad: The only thing we get to see him do in action [[spoiler: is get the ''Vengeance'' into full speed and attack the ''Enterprise''. Also, he tries to restrain Carol after she slaps him in response to his treachery. When Khan gets his hands on him, it's clear Marcus doesn't have a hope of fighting back.]] |
| 609 | * NotAfraidToDie: Subverted. [[spoiler:He's pretty confident when Kirk has a phaser to his face, but when Khan gets back up, Marcus makes a run for it. Too bad it doesn't do any good for him.]] |
| 610 | * OhCrap: Twice. |
| 611 | ** First time when [[spoiler:Kirk tells him that Khan told him everything]]. The quote in DeadpanSnarker says it all. |
| 612 | ** [[spoiler:And the second when Khan finally gets his hands on him and starts crushing his skull, Marcus has a ''very'' pained look on his face. And then [[GoryDiscretionShot we hear a chunky 'splodey noise]].]] |
| 613 | * PapaWolf: He whisks Carol [[spoiler:right off the ''Enterprise'' when he finds out she's been on there.]] Of course, [[spoiler: he seemed pretty damn willing to leave her to Khan in order to save his own skin.]] |
| 614 | * PetTheDog: With his daughter. |
| 615 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Gives Kirk the go-ahead to hunt down Harrison. [[spoiler:Subverted. He only helped Kirk so he could use the ''Enterprise'' to start a war with the Klingons.]] |
| 616 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Marcus in a nutshell. [[spoiler:He's more than willing to push the rules and values of Starfleet aside to get into his nasty conflict with the Klingons.]] |
| 617 | * SmugSnake: In his final scene, [[spoiler:he goes on a rant on how Kirk started a war, "forcing" Marcus to step up to lead Earth in response. The arrogance and BlatantLies are ''enormous''. Not only that, but he didn't take into account that Kirk has a habit of disobeying the rules, meaning he found out the details of his plan.]] |
| 618 | * TheSpook: Hello again, Section 31. |
| 619 | * StateSec: With [[spoiler:Khan's genius, Marcus has Section 31 develop high-tech weapons such as the ''Vengeance''. When he commands the ship, he and his personnel are even wearing their own uniforms.]] |
| 620 | * TemptingFate: [[spoiler: "You better kill me." Kirk won't. But [[BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork Khan]] certainly will.]] |
| 621 | * TwoFirstNames: Either "Alexander" or "Marcus" can be used as a first name. |
| 622 | * TheUnfettered: Work with [[spoiler:a war criminal to get him to make weapons for you, torture him, mainpulate the crew of the ''Enterprise'', try to get them killed to start a war with the Klingons -- this guy is just as relentless as Khan in getting what he wants.]] |
| 623 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He's a part of Section 31, so it's a given. [[spoiler:He thinks fighting the Klingons and kickstarting a war will result in a safer galaxy for Starfleet and other races. However, all of his ranting and raving ends up coming off as hollow when you take into consideration he worked with a war criminal and attempted to kill off the crew of the ''Enterprise''.]] |
| 624 | * VillainousBreakdown: Gets a pretty good one going [[spoiler: mixed with a MotiveRant, though it all ends up coming off as pretty hollow.]] |
| 625 | -->'''Marcus:''' [[spoiler: You better stop and think about what you're doing, Kirk. You better think about what you did on Qo'noS. You made an incursion onto an enemy planet, you killed a Klingon patrol... Even if you got away without a trace, war is COMING! AND WHO'S GONNA LEAD US?! '''YOU?!''' If I'm not in charge, our entire way of life is DECIMATED! So, you want me off this ship? You better KILL ME]]. |
| 626 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's the head of Starfleet. [[spoiler:Who'd ever suspect him of warmongering?]] |
| 627 | * VisionaryVillain: As pointed out by [[spoiler:Khan, he wanted to have a much more militarized Starfleet.]] |
| 628 | * WalkingSpoiler: Knowing too much about his character gives away TheReveal [[spoiler:that he's a major figure in the villainous Section 31, trying to sacrifice Khan and the ''Enterprise'' to both start a war with the Klingons and cover up his own involvement]]. |
| 629 | * WarHawk: Shown to be a strong advocate of taking action against the Klingons, since he figures it's only a matter of time before they do, [[spoiler:and that's before it's revealed that he's actually trying to engineer a war]]. |
| 630 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: He figured that the exploration-focused Starfleet would not be able to win a war against the Klingons, a war he thought was inevitable. He was only doing what he thought was necessary to ensure humanity's survival. The guy just ends up tapping the MoralEventHorizon when he opts to try and murder Kirk and the entire crew merely for having Khan in their custody, along with other acts. However, his methods, arrogance, and willingness to sacrifice those under his command are unacceptable, pushing him into full-on villain territory.]] |
| 631 | * YourHeadAsplode: Well, [[spoiler:crushed, but it's the same principle and it sure as hell didn't sound pretty]]. |

| 641 | ---- |
| 642 | * AntiVillain: At the end of the day, he only wanted to save his little girl, and he looked genuinely remorseful [[spoiler:before he blew up the Section 31 workhouse he lived in]]. |
| 643 | * DealWithTheDevil: He makes one with Harrison at the start of the film; in return for Harrison giving some of his blood to regenerate his ill daughter, [[spoiler:Harewood will suicide bomb a building from Section 31]]. |
| 644 | * KnightTemplarParent: He makes a deal to blow up a Starfleet archive [[spoiler: and weapons lab]] in exchange for the means to save his dying daughter. |

| 673 | A Vulcan Ambassador and Spock's father. Following Vulcan's destruction, he was one of the few survivors who made it to the ''Enterprise'', offering his support to Spock in times of need. Following the events of the film, he together with Spock Prime establish New Vulcan in an attempt to preserve the Vulcan race and culture. |

| 678 | * InterspeciesRomance: Him (a Vulcan) and Amanda (a human). |
| 679 | * LyingByOmission: He claims that "marrying your mother was [[SharePhrase logical]]", a clinically Vulcan response that disappoints Spock. He later clarifies in a [[NotSoStoic more vulnerable moment]] -- it's logical to [[MarryForLove marry the one you love]]. |
| 680 | * NotSoStoic: When he tells Spock he didn't marry Spock's mother because it was logical, he shows a sign of deep sadness at [[spoiler:her passing]] and says "I married her because I loved her". In fact, he outright encourages Spock not to suppress his emotions. |
| 681 | * ShipperOnDeck: The tie-in IDW comics shows that Sarek supports his son's relationship with Uhura. |

| 695 | * DeadAlternateCounterpart: [[spoiler:While Prime Amanda did eventually pass away, it was likely just from old age while this version was killed decades earlier.]] |

| 715 | An alien whose family was stranded on Krall's planet by the Swarm. She and her people were captured by Krall for him to feed on, and her father sacrificed his life so she could escape. |
| 716 | ---- |
| 717 | * ActionGirl: A very skilled fighter, and has the most fight scenes out of the various heroes in the movie. |
| 718 | * AlienBlood: After her fight with Manas, she's got a few cuts and bruises that seem to bleed blue blood. |
| 719 | * BootsOfToughness: All-terrain army boots, which even help the 5' 5" (1,65 m) Sofia Boutella [[ScullyBox not seem too small compared to male cast]]. |
| 720 | * BuffySpeak: Likely a side effect of [[LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision English not being her native tongue]]. She seems to have trouble with understanding human naming conventions (referring to Kirk as "James T." and Scottie as "Montgomery Scottie"), refers to the USS Franklin in which she shelters as her house, and "[[Music/PublicEnemy classical]]" music on the ''Franklin'' as "the beats and the shouting." Her sentence structure and inability to graps certain idioms also comes off as this too, such as when Kirk mentions her traps being "one hell of a welcome mat". |
| 721 | --> '''Jaylah:''' [[ComicallySerious I do not know what is]] [[LiteralMinded a "welcome mat".]] |
| 722 | * CallToAdventure: [[spoiler:Her [[EarnYourHappyEnding happy ending]] involves an offer of entrance into Starfleet Academy courtesy of Captain Kirk and delivered by her sorta-mentor/new friend Montgomery Scott.]] |
| 723 | * CombatParkour: She has a very acrobatic fighting style, with lots of spins, flips, and kicks. |
| 724 | * TheComicallySerious: Her interplay with Scottie and Kirk features a lot of this. |
| 725 | * ConfusionFu: Uses hologram technology to distract her opponents when she's outnumbered. |
| 726 | * CowardlyLion: When she met Scotty, she agreed to help him find his friends only so that they would fix "her home" and she could leave the planet behind forever. When she was asked to help rescue Kirk's crew from Krall's concentration camp, she adamantly refused and very nearly abandoned the Enterprise crew. Once Kirk and Scotty gave her a bit of a RousingSpeech, and Kirk proposed a plan with high probability of success [[spoiler: that would actually prove very effective]], she took point with Kirk and fought like hell. [[spoiler: Eventually getting vengance for her father and crew by killing Manas.]] |
| 727 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Her family were killed by Krall when she was only a child. Ever since then she's been on her own. |
| 728 | * {{Expy}}: [[http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2016/07/18/jennifer-lawrence-star-trek-character-inspiration According to Simon Pegg]], she was largely inspired by Ree Dolly from ''Film/WintersBone'', in that she's a tough young woman living on her own and fending off the BigBad's minions. |
| 729 | * FacialMarkings: Black ones that enhance the whiteness of her skin. |
| 730 | * FireForgedFriends: With Scotty. |
| 731 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Of a whole new species of {{Rubber Forehead Alien}}s. |
| 732 | * HadToBeSharp: She was stranded on that planet as a child. Despite that, she's notorious enough amongst other survivors that they're averse to tangling with her, and she's surrounded her "house" with holographic camo and traps. |
| 733 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Manas killed her father during their escape attempt, hence why she fights him with passion. |
| 734 | * JumpedAtTheCall: She's gung-ho to join in anything the ''Enterprise'' crew plans -- except return to the enemy base from which she escaped before, as seen below. |
| 735 | * KlingonsLoveShakespeare: Living in a derelict human ship made her fond of the music library there, which apparently mostly consisted of late 20th century rap. |
| 736 | * LearntEnglishFromWatchingTelevision: Learned to be quite fluent in English after years of living inside the shipwrecked USS ''Franklin'', at least some of which was from "classical music" such as Music/PublicEnemy and Music/BeastieBoys. |
| 737 | * MasterOfIllusion: By virtue of hologram technology, with applications ranging from creating distracting duplicates of herself to camouflaging her "house". |
| 738 | * MsFanservice: Refreshingly averted. Jaylah is played by the very attractive Sofia Boutella, but unlike the female supporting cast of the previous two films, there are no pointless, drawn out lingerie scenes. Her clothes are loose-fitting and practical. |
| 739 | * NeverGetsDrunk: [[spoiler:At Kirk's birthday party at the end, she's got an impressive number of empty glasses in front of her and still hasn't [[TheStoic "had the edge taken off"]].]] |
| 740 | * TheNotLoveInterest: As a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe White Skinned Space Babe]] with no counterpart in the old ''Star Trek'' timeline, it was widely assumed that Jaylah would be a GirlOfTheWeek for Kirk. Turns out there's not even a hint of ShipTease between them. When it turns out that much of her interaction is with Scotty, naturally people began to wonder if she would be ''his'' love interest. Still nope. |
| 741 | * PunnyName: It's a play on [[Creator/JenniferLawrence "J-Law"]], which the creators had used as a placeholder name for the character (see {{Expy}} above). |
| 742 | * RefusalOfTheCall: After the death of her family, she's understandably reluctant to go back to the Hive to confront Krall, instead focusing on trying to escape the planet, to the point she refuses to help when Kirk & co want to launch an attack on the Hive to rescue the rest of the crew. Scotty and Kirk eventually manages to convince her that together they can accomplish what she was unable to do alone. |
| 743 | * ScreamingWarrior: Shouts before an HeroicSecondWind on Manas. |
| 744 | * ShockStick: Her weapon appears to be an electrified staff. It seems to also convert into a sniper rifle. |
| 745 | * SoleSurvivor: She's the last survivor of her ship, the rest having been killed by Krall. |
| 746 | * TheStoic: She's a really serious person, and this being ''Star Trek'' [[ComicallySerious implies usage as a comedic straight woman]]. |
| 747 | * WrenchWench: She's very adept at fixing and utilizing technology, to the point she's restored quite a few of the USS Franklin's basic systems and re-adapted them as perimeter defenses and even an entertainment system, despite it being (to her) completely alien technology. |
| 748 | * YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Fitting her escape/trap artist archetype. |
| 749 | * YouKilledMyFather: Her father was killed by Krall's second-in-command, Manas, during their escape from the Hive. She fights him to avenge her father towards the end of the film. |

| 763 | |
| 764 | A particularly troubled Romulan from the future who seeks to destroy the Federation to settle a vendetta he has against Spock, blaming him for the destruction of Romulus. |
| 765 | ---- |
| 766 | * AxCrazy: His mental stability is one to question at, considering how trigger-happy the dude gets when he's annoyed. |
| 767 | * BadassLongcoat: As with most of the Romulans in the first one. |
| 768 | * BaldOfEvil: Nero and the rest of his crew members are all bald save for the female member. |
| 769 | * BerserkButton: He is this when TheFederation gets involved with his plans. Somewhat justified because [[spoiler:he found out that Romulus blew up during a super nova that Spock didn't get to in time to deploy the Red Matter. And TheFederation relied on Spock to deliver the Red Matter to stop said supernova in a specially-commissioned ship built for speed. It wasn't fast enough]]. Before the moments where he does gets angry and speak himself, ''he is silent and lets TheDragon speak for him''. |
| 770 | * BigBad: For the first movie. |
| 771 | * CrusadingWidower: The loss of his pregnant wife was one of the driving forces behind Nero's descent into madness and villainy. He specifically mentions "the wife who was expecting my child" while interrogating Pike. |
| 772 | * DespairEventHorizon: Those tattoos that Nero and his crew have? Usually, when Romulans are grieving they get tattoos that fade to symbolize that their grief will fade too, but now that their home was destroyed, those tattoos are staying on permanently. |
| 773 | * {{Determinator}}: He will stop at nothing to have his revenge...even if it takes a quarter of a century. |
| 774 | * DiabolusExNihilo: InUniverse, as he came out of a black hole seemingly out of nowhere to ravage the elder Kirk's ship. |
| 775 | * DisproportionateRetribution: He decides to wait 25 years for Spock to come through the same black hole that pulled him into the past, makes Spock watch [[spoiler:Vulcan get destroyed, and then moves on to systematically destroy the other planets of the Federation. All of this is because Spock turned up mere minutes too late to save Romulus from a super nova.]] |
| 776 | * EarAche: At some point in the 25 years between the attack on the ''Kelvin'' and Spock Prime's arrival, something took off part of his right ear, as it's missing its point and looks rather ragged. |
| 777 | * {{Expy}}: With his backstory and the destruction of Romulus, he's essentially [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Jor-El if the destruction of Krypton had killed different members of the House of El and if TimeTravel was involved]]. |
| 778 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Before dying, Nero simply closes his eyes and awaits the inevitable. |
| 779 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Creates one for Spock (both of them) by forcing him to watch his entire planet blow up, just as he had seen his own planet get destroyed by Spock Prime being just a little too late. |
| 780 | * FauxAffablyEvil: "Hi, Christopher, I'm Nero." The [[invoked]]{{Narm Charm}}y way Eric Bana delivered that line made it sound like he was saying "Hi, I'm Nero, I'll be your villain for this ''Star Trek'' movie." |
| 781 | * FirstNameBasis: How he treats his opponents. |
| 782 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He was originally a miner. |
| 783 | * GeniusBruiser: He performed complex mathematical calculations to determine when Spock Prime would arrive in the new timeline. |
| 784 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Of ''Star Trek Into Darkness'', as his actions in the 2009 film is what led to [[spoiler:Admiral Marcus' StartOfDarkness to release Khan to weaponize Starfleet, which in turn lead to the events of the sequel.]] He is also considered to be this of overall reboot series, as his actions via TimeTravel rebooted the ''Star Trek'' universe. If not for Nero, the events of ''Star Trek Into Darkness'' would have never happened and the franchise would never got rebooted, in-universe and out. |
| 785 | * HeroKiller: The page quote should say it all. If that doesn't work, then let's thrown in the fact that he ''blew up Vulcan.'' |
| 786 | * HonorBeforeReason: When his ship is caught in a black hole caused by the Red Matter. Kirk, despite knowing that he killed his father and tried to cause genocide of the Vulcans, offers aid in the hopes that he can change his mind and get over his grudge. However Nero, too prideful and consumed by revenge to listen to reason, states he'd rather die than take his help. So Kirk grants him his wish and finishes his ship off. |
| 787 | -->''"I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in agony than accept assistance from you!"'' |
| 788 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Nero's idea of preventing the "genocide" of the Romulan people is to commit genocide against the Vulcans and against the rest of the Federation. He's so far gone that the distinction is utterly lost on him. |
| 789 | * InsaneTrollLogic: "I prevented genocide!" ... by committing genocide. Doubles as MoralMyopia and RevengeBeforeReason. Also, the Federation didn't cause the supernova, they just didn't rescue the Romulans from it, and the Federation certainly can't rescue the Romulans if it's destroyed centuries before the supernova happens. So, Nero's plan wouldn't have prevented the genocide of his people, so much as guarantee it. |
| 790 | * ItsPersonal: Losing your home-world kinda does that to one's psyche. |
| 791 | * KarmicDeath: Nero is ultimately defeated with the Red Matter he used to destroy Vulcan. And likewise killed by the son of the man he himself caused the death of. |
| 792 | * KneelBeforeZod: It's brief, but at one point in Spock Prime's mind meld, he makes ''Spock Prime'' kneel before him after he takes the ''Jellyfish'' and the Red Matter from him. |
| 793 | * KnightOfCerebus: His arrival prompts the Federation to become [[DarkerAndEdgier significantly more heavily armed]], the full ramifications of which are hinted at in the first film and ''heavily'' featured in the second. |
| 794 | * LargeHam: It's a ''Star Trek'' [[EvilIsHammy villain]], so of course he is as exaggerated in his anger as possible. |
| 795 | * MeaningfulName: Getting thrown back in time gave Nero a chance to warn his people about the future disaster that is the cause of all his grief, but he didn't do that. Instead, he's fiddling while Romulus burns (in the future). |
| 796 | * MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:Because of the use of "time travel creates an alternate universe, not actually changing the past" version of time travel and the revelation in ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' that Nero was right about the Federation leaving the Romulans out to dry in regards to the supernova, Nero's attacks on the Kelvin timeline's Federation are this.]] |
| 797 | * MoodSwinger: He can go from calm and polite to angry and raging with anger in a matter of seconds; see the third example under VillainousBreakdown for more. |
| 798 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Nero was not one of the nicer Roman Emperors, [[TheCaligula to say the least]]. |
| 799 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: In his own time: The blue-collar captain of a (admittedly large and spiky) simple mining ship. In the past: The dangerous OmnicidalManiac commander of an nigh-unstoppable dreadnought capable of wrecking anything Star Fleet or the Klingons can throw at it. |
| 800 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: While he boasts about creating a Romulan empire free from the Federation, it gets clear he's only interested in revenge on those he blames for the destruction of his world and the death of his pregnant wife. He also never makes any contact with the Romulans of the past, showing his plan has no involvement from them. |
| 801 | * OmnicidalManiac: He'd like to wipe out the entire [[TheFederation Federation]]. |
| 802 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: His wife was pregnant with his child when Romulus was destroyed. |
| 803 | * PsychopathicManchild: Much of his mood swings come across as this especially... |
| 804 | --> '''Nero:''' '''I WANT SPOCK DEAD ''NOW''!!!''' |
| 805 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He wants to prevent the genocide of his own people by committing genocide on Spock's. Then there's also the climax of the first film, when he sees Spock flying the ''Jellyfish'' and trying to destroy it, even though it will detonate the Red Matter. |
| 806 | --> '''Nero''': That ship. Take it out!\ |
| 807 | '''Romulan''': Sir, if you ignite the Red Matter--\ |
| 808 | '''Nero''': '''I WANT SPOCK DEAD ''NOW''!!!''' |
| 809 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: One which claims billions of lives. |
| 810 | * RedRightHand: His right ear is missing its tip, and there are scars along that side of his head, likely from an animal attacking him during his time in a Klingon prison. |
| 811 | * RevengeByProxy: "I did not forget the pain. It's a pain that every surviving Vulcan now shares." |
| 812 | * SayMyName: '''''"[[ShoutOut SPOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!!]] [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan SPOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!!]]"''''' |
| 813 | * TattooAsCharacterType: Cultural. [[AllThereInTheManual The tie-in comics explain]] that Romulans mark their bodies when in mourning. The marks normally fade away, symbolizing the end of the mourning period but the ''Narada'' crew make their marks permanent to show the depths of their despair in the wake of Romulus' destruction. |
| 814 | * TragicVillain: Even moreso in the ''Star Trek: Countdown'' comic books, in which Spock was basically the only Vulcan trying to help, with several {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s preventing him from saving his world when it was still truly possible. |
| 815 | ** [[spoiler:Minimally downplayed in ''Series/StarTrekPicard'', which deliberately de-canonizes ''Star Trek: Countdown'', when it's revealed the Federation practically left Romulus to die.]] |
| 816 | * TranquilFury: [[AllThereInTheManual According to the tie-in novel,]] after witnessing the destruction of Romulus and then getting thrown into the past during an altercation with [[spoiler: Spock-Prime]], he refused to even ''speak'' until the day his vengeance came to fruition... which turned out to take 25 years. [[SubvertedTrope Though he did have one notable exception upon learning just how displaced in time he and his crew had become.]] |
| 817 | * VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:''Series/StarTrekPicard'' revealed that, when Romulus was threatened by the supernova, Starfleet effectively abandoned them to die as soon as the rescue effort became inconvenient. Nero's anger at the Federation is justified, even if his methods go much too far ([[MisplacedRetribution and are aimed at the wrong universe's Federation]]).]] |
| 818 | * VillainRespect: Sort of with Kirk, it starts out that way, but then becomes a KickTheDog moment. |
| 819 | --> '''Nero:''' [[invoked]][[YouLookFamiliar I know your face, from Earth's history.]] [[HeroOfAnotherStory James T. Kirk was considered to be a great man, who went on to Captain the USS Enterprise.]] [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries But that was another life.]] [[OffingTheOffspring A life I will deprive you of]] [[KickTheDog just like I did your father.]] |
| 820 | * VillainousBreakdown: He has a few. |
| 821 | ** At the beginning of the film, after realizing that he and his crew have been transported over 150 years back in time, Nero is calm for a moment... then skewers Robau through the chest, screaming with fury. |
| 822 | ** ''(re the destruction of Romulus)'' "'''IT ''HAS'' HAPPENED! I ''WATCHED'' IT HAPPEN! I ''SAW'' IT HAPPEN! DON'T TELL ME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!'''" |

| 825 | ** "What's he doing?" ''(realizes what Spock's doing)'' "'''''FIRE EVERYTHING!!!'''''" |

| 864 | !!!'''Played by:''' Creator/IdrisElba |
| 865 | !!!'''Dubbed in French by:''' Frantz Confiac |
| 866 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' |
| 867 | |
| 868 | An alien warlord who seeks to destroy Starfleet and the Federation. |
| 869 | ---- |
| 870 | * AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: He speaks English with an odd rhythm, skipping normal pauses and dragging out longer words, likely due to his breathing difficulties. |
| 871 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: He speaks fluent (albeit slow and heavily accented) English, foreshadowing TheReveal that [[spoiler:he used to be human]]. |
| 872 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: It's unclear whether he was always a heartless BloodKnight or whether he became one [[spoiler:due to years of isolation and stealing lifeforce from others]]. Even Kirk and Commodore Paris wonder which it was. |
| 873 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: Krall watched Kirk's personal logs while spying on Federation transmissions. He considers Kirk weak for feeling listless in the starship captain's life, while Krall boasts that he is better because he knows who he is and what his purpose is. |
| 874 | * BaldOfEvil: No hair on this guy's head, [[spoiler: except when he was human, before the video logs.]] |
| 875 | * BeyondRedemption: When Kirk finds out who he really is, [[spoiler:he tries to tell Edison about how the Federation views him as a hero for his actions in the Xindi War. Edison rejects Kirk’s word because of how he perceived that the Federation abandoned him and his crew on an uncharted planet. During their final duel, a piece of glass flies in front of him showing his human face in the reflection. Edison [[IgnoredEpiphany ignores his former humanity]], and tries to use the glass shard to kill Kirk, forcing Kirk to kick him and his weapon out the airlock, killing Edison.]] |
| 876 | * BigBad: Serves as the primary threat to Kirk and co. in ''Beyond''. He attacks and destroys the ''Enterprise'', kidnaps the crew in order to [[spoiler:drain their energy to extend his life, and has been keeping tabs on the Federation for decades, waiting for his opportunity to take revenge]]. |
| 877 | * BioAugmentation: The tech left behind by the NeglectfulPrecursors on the planet gives Krall genetic enhancements that keep him alive and strong at the cost of turning him into a LifeDrinker [[spoiler:and somewhat taking on the genetic appearance of his victims.]] |
| 878 | * BishonenLine: Justified. Stealing the life of a significant amount of humans both rejuvenates him to his peak fighting ability and causes him to look closer to a human for the same reason he looks like an alien now. |
| 879 | * BloodKnight: Krall despises the idea of peaceful cooperation. He believes that strength can only be found in conflict and hates that the rest of his species abandoned war to become peaceful explorers. [[spoiler:His species is human]]. |
| 880 | * BodyHorror: Krall's form is a result of mixing in different alien genomes to keep himself alive, resulting in a monstrous, barely functional body that has become dependant on stealing life from others to survive. [[spoiler:Even when he reverts closer to human, his appearance remains warped and he's clearly in a great deal of pain.]] |
| 881 | * BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: To Starfleet and the Federation, once his treachery is revealed. Commander Paris says he has been looked up to as a hero of the Federation for ''generations'' for his role in the Xindi and the Romulan Wars. Of course, it is not the case anymore after he tries to commit genocide and kill everyone in ''Yorktown''.]] |
| 882 | * BroughtDownToNormal: When Krall and Kirk first fight, Krall's strength is superhuman and seems to easily be at least on par with Khan's. However, during their rematch at the end of the film, [[spoiler:Krall has ditched his armor and has mostly reverted to his original human form due to draining energy from so many human ''Enterprise'' crew members]], resulting in Kirk being able to trade blows with him on a more-or-less equal footing. |
| 883 | * ColonelKilgore: Krall was this [[spoiler:back when he was still Balthazar Edison]]. He claims he was born into a galaxy at war and liked it that way. After his century of abandonment [[spoiler:by the Federation]], he cracked completely and became a GeneralRipper who saw all aliens and even peace itself as the enemy to be destroyed at all costs. |
| 884 | * TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: The tragedy of Krall is that he has clearly forgotten, in his slow [[SanitySlippage descent into insanity]], that the purpose of militaries [[spoiler:in human society]] is to defend the nation and its citizens and to achieve the objectives of armed conflict as quickly and efficiently as possible. Of course, Krall understood this once, having accepted the [[spoiler: demobilization of MACO and a captain's commission in Starfleet, at least until his stranding on Altamid convinced him he had been cast out]]. Word for word, Kirk even incredulously points out to Krall that the wars he fought in ended because his side ''won'' them (apparently Krall was upset that they accepted the enemy's surrender, instead of genocidally wiping them out completely). He's so far gone now that he feels that [[BloodKnight war and violence should be perpetrated for the sake of preserving "strength"]], whatever that means. |
| 885 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the BloodKnight. Krall is an example of what happens if a Blood Knight tries to live in a time of peace. He is, at best, [[VictoryIsBoring unfulfilled]], and at worst, desperate to reignite a war to reclaim his sense of purpose. |
| 886 | * DisneyVillainDeath: When Kirk [[spoiler: kicks him out of the airlock into space. Averted in that we subsequently see the bioweapon disintegrating him.]] |
| 887 | * DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Krall wants to destroy the peace and prosperity of the Federation, and commit mass murder, for no better reason than that he is a warrior and a galaxy at peace just isn't the kind of place he wants to live in. |
| 888 | * ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: [[spoiler:Was a former member of Military Assault Command Operations (MACO), humanity's foremost special forces before becoming a Starfleet captain.]] |
| 889 | * EvilBrit: Barely discernible through his alien physiology, but he has the accent. [[spoiler:As it turns out, he actually is British.]] |
| 890 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Krall asks Uhura why she sacrificed herself for her captain by detaching the saucer and letting him escape with her and Krall stuck in the remains of the neck section. He seems to have forgotten [[spoiler:one of the most important lessons a soldier learns: to sacrifice themselves for their comrades, especially for their leader. Krall would have known this lesson well, back when he was Balthazar Edison, a human soldier.]] |
| 891 | * EvilCounterpart: To Kirk. [[spoiler:Like Kirk, Krall is a Starfleet hero who was given a starship command and exploration mission in recognition of his service. And like Kirk is starting to at the beginning of the film, Krall came to regret his station, lost his sense of purpose and identity, and became bitter towards Starfleet. However, where Krall eventually turned against Starfleet and sought to wipe them out in vengeance for his perceived disrespect and their weakness in seeking peace, Kirk acts to protect lives and recognizes the issues he's coping with aren't to blame on Starfleet.]] |
| 892 | * EvilIsHammy: His delivery is pretty intense, though the thick make-up is clearly stopping Idris Elba from going full ham. [[spoiler:Until he becomes mostly human again in the climax, and thus angrily shouts to his pleasure.]] |
| 893 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Courtesy of Idris Elba. |
| 894 | * {{Expy}}: Krall's madness and motives, his use of exotic [=WMDs=], the fact he's a former war hero bitter at [[spoiler: Starfleet]] abandoning their original military mindset to become peaceful explorers, and the fact he became [[spoiler: a shape-changing trans-human]] to save his life (at the cost of his sanity) after a major defeat all recall classic Trek villain [[spoiler: Garth of Izar, from "Whom Gods Destroy"]]. |
| 895 | ** It could be argued that he is also a much closer-in-spirit take of [[spoiler:Khan Prime]] than the one of this timeline. To wit: he is a [[spoiler: a remnant of a much older time. He and his crew are lost on a distant planet, feeling abandoned by Starfleet and is also driven by irrational hatred that just gets himself killed. He even clashes against a Kirk that is starting to feel his age, though actually physically than just through ship-to-ship combat]]. |
| 896 | * FallenHero: [[spoiler: Formerly a hero of the Xindi and the Romulan Wars who is still famed within the Federation even a couple hundred years later.]] |
| 897 | * GeniusBruiser: He's a brutish fighter with SuperStrength, and Krall's got the brains to back it up, skillfully luring the ''Enterprise'' to Altamid and outwitting the defenses of ''Yorktown'' in preparation of his attack against it. |
| 898 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: Trapped on an alien world [[spoiler:with only two remaining members of his crew, he became convinced that the Federation had abandoned them]]. This has more to do with his [[spoiler:transformation from human to monster]] than the alien LifeDrinker tech. |
| 899 | * HandicappedBadass: Despite his superhuman strength, Krall's labored breathing and speech as well as constant slouching and slow deliberate movements indicate he's in less than perfect health. [[spoiler: Which makes sense, as he's a century-and-a-half old human who's stayed alive by using life draining technology that has had the side effect of turning his genetic code into spaghetti.]] |
| 900 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 901 | ** Krall hates aliens and sees them as the permanent enemy of humanity, yet he is a mishmash of alien parts due to the nature of the tech which has prolonged his life. |
| 902 | ** He believes that the idea of strength in unity is baloney and that a single person is stronger than a group. And yet his entire space battle strategy relies on extreme coordination of thousands of individual ships and he couldn't possibly have come anywhere near succeeding without the help of his subordinates Manas [[spoiler: and Kalara]]. |
| 903 | * IgnoredEpiphany: As he watches Kirk try valiantly to save millions of lives to stop his alien weapon, Krall appears to hesitate when he [[WhatHaveIBecome sees his reflection]] in a shard of glass. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone It causes a single moment of self-reflection]], but he immediately shakes it off and tries to stab Kirk with the shard. |
| 904 | * KarmicDeath: Killed by [[spoiler:his own superweapon which he intended to use on the population of Yorktown station. When the superweapon is finished devouring Krall, the only trace of him left behind is his Starfleet insignia, a symbol of everything Krall came to detest.]] |
| 905 | * KarmicTransformation: [[spoiler:When he was human]], he spent his life fighting and hating aliens. It's fitting that the tech he used to keep himself alive for a century also transformed him into a form that he would've hated in his youth as [[spoiler:a human soldier]]. |
| 906 | * KnightOfCerebus: He's perhaps the darkest villain in this timeline thus far. Even Khan had his DeadpanSnarker tendencies, and Nero wasn't without his [[LargeHam ham,]] while there's ''nothing'' funny about Krall. |
| 907 | * KubrickStare: [[spoiler:When he dies, he lets out a mean looking one as the Abronath consumes his body]]. |
| 908 | * LargeAndInCharge: Krall stands 6'3", taller than his compatriots Manas (5'11") and [[spoiler:Kalara (5'4"]]. His swarm ship is also larger than the others, with three prongs instead of one. |
| 909 | * LifeDrinker: How Krall sustained himself for over a century. He used the leftover alien genetic tech on the planet to allow him to live on by draining the life from other beings. This has the side-effect of him taking on the genetic attributes of his victims. Draining some of the Enterprise crew [[spoiler:slowly turns him back into the human form he once was.]] |
| 910 | * MeaningfulName: His swarm is described several times in the film as "bees". In real life bee swarms are led by queens, however Krall is male, making him a king. Guess what "kral" means in a number of Slavic languages. |
| 911 | * MoralMyopia: Krall sees humanity as having become a CategoryTraitor to itself by choosing to accept aliens and building diverse communities that include them. He doesn't seem to get that his blood-soaked crusade to incite war is betraying humanity because of all the humans he will kill in the process. |
| 912 | * MotiveDecay: Krall started out simply wanting to exact some kind of justice against [[spoiler:the Federation]] for not coming to rescue him, but by the time of the film, it's degenerated into a desire to [[spoiler:kill everyone in the Federation]] for no good reason. |
| 913 | * MotiveRant: Gives Kirk one when it's down to just the two of them fighting over the PhlebotinumBomb in the climax. His only real motive is that he didn't get to be a warrior anymore after winning his battles and he resents being forced to adapt to peace. |
| 914 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:Krall's body is consumed by the Abronath after he dies.]] |
| 915 | * NoPlaceForMeThere: How Krall feels about [[spoiler:the Federation after he fought to protect humantiy and won. He realised that a civilized galaxy was no place for him, but chose the path of [[BloodKnight making it uncivilized]] again so that it would fit with his worldview]]. |
| 916 | * OmnicidalManiac: He wants to wipe out humanity, starting with the millions of people on Yorktown station just because he hates what the Federation stands for. [[spoiler:His own species, in other words, in case the fact he's a psychopath didn't sink in.]] |
| 917 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: [[spoiler: Once he's revealed as Edison, and once his treachery is revealed, his reputation as a hero of the Federation for his role in the Xindi and the Romulan Wars is permanently ruined]]. |
| 918 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: Krall has had the means to leave his planet for some time, but spent centuries trapping and scavenging any ships [[HumanResources and their crews]] to keep his people alive. {{Justified}} because he was preparing for the day when he could recover the {{Superweapon}} he had been searching for along with finding the perfect civilian target to make an example of, and gaining sufficient intel on his "enemy". |
| 919 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: He's an otherwise living person who uses tech to drain the youth and vitality of others, [[spoiler:becoming ever more monstrous in the process.]] |
| 920 | * PoweredArmor: It's not made explicit, but Krall's suit has rotating mechanical elements at the shoulders, suggesting it's enhancing his strength. When he's forced to ditch it near the end of the film, he's brought down to near-human levels of strength. |
| 921 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler: He's actually Captain Balthazar Edison, kept alive by life-sucking technology for hundreds of years.]] |
| 922 | * RedRightHand: If you look closely, you'll notice that the ridges and protrusions on Krall's face are asymmetrical and almost lumpy, in contrast to the more natural symmetry of his various alien minions. [[spoiler:This is an early hint that Krall is not part of a natural alien species, but rather a human mutated by alien technology.]] |
| 923 | * TheReveal: He's [[spoiler:a famed human Starfleet captain, and a hero of The Federation.]] |
| 924 | * RevengeBeforeReason: With all that alien tech including a fleet of swarm ships, he probably could have [[spoiler:repaired the ''Franklin'' and gotten home long before he went completely crazy, but instead chose to wait and brood over getting revenge against the Federation. Plus, the Federation had no idea that Altamid even existed, much less that the ''Franklin'' ended up there. Krall has to send out Kalara to lead them to it. Scotty speculates that the ''Franklin'' must have gotten dumped there by a wormhole.]] |
| 925 | * SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:He was already well on his way off the deep end by the time he made his final log entry as captain of the ''Franklin'', but a century on an alien planet, brooding over his "abandonment" at the hands of the Federation, slowly mutating as he drained the life from other beings have eaten away at Krall's sanity until he became a psychopathic OmnicidalManiac.]] |
| 926 | * ScaryBlackMan: Well, his scales are black, but his skin is blue, and he's plenty scary. [[spoiler:After he crosses the BishonenLine, he becomes a perfectly straight example, as Idris Elba ditches the makeup.]] |
| 927 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Wants to destroy the Federation because he perceives its commitment to pacifism and the common good as creating weakness; only suffering, violence, and war can confer strength. [[spoiler: He himself is a career soldier who could not accept a galaxy at peace.]] |
| 928 | * SociopathicSoldier: He was a [[spoiler:MACO who fought in the Xindi and Romulan Wars who could not properly adjust to a new life as a peaceful explorer and diplomat.]] |
| 929 | * SpacePirates: A ruthless leader of a moderately sized fleet of small, fast ships meant to inflict the naval equivalent of DeathOfAThousandCuts on his prey. [[spoiler:His past is even more in line with actual pirates who rebelled against their governments out of resentment.]] |
| 930 | * ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:Krall doesn't seem to recognize his own name at first. Then {{Subverted}} when he says he missed being his old self. Later when he sees his mostly-human form reflected in a shard of glass, he's visibly confused and then [[RageAgainstTheReflection enraged]] because it reminds him of his century of abandonment.]] |
| 931 | * ThrownOutTheAirlock: [[spoiler:His final fate is getting kicked out of ''Yorktown'' with the weapon devouring him.]] |
| 932 | * TranshumanAliens: Krall's appearance is a side effect of him stealing the appearance of every one of victims, no matter how inhuman. He originally looked like [[spoiler:a completely normal human, and draining Enterprise's crew causes him to return to his original body.]] |
| 933 | * TranshumanTreachery: [[spoiler:Now leads the Swarm, and his goal is to hurt his former comrades in the Federation by destroying ''Yorktown''.]] |
| 934 | * TheUnfettered: Krall has a singular purpose and he lets nothing stop him or get in his way. He even prides this in himself and despises Kirk for being TheFettered, as Kirk has cares and doubts and especially a deep connection with his crew. Krall saw Kirk's personal log where he planned to leave the starship captain's life and feels that this makes Kirk weak and a quitter, even though he despises the life Kirk is choosing to walk away from. Krall places the highest virtue in committing to a purpose without fear or doubt, regardless of whether that purpose is noble in Kirk's case, or horrifying in Krall's case. |
| 935 | * VillainHasAPoint: Despite his insanity and BloodKnight philosophy, Krall does make one good point, though he misunderstands its significance: He says the Federation is arrogant to assume it can exist without conflict. While the point he wants to make is that ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer, the more insightful point is that the Federation will always have to face conflict from the outside and that it should be ready to handle it. If he had emerged a century later in the time of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', he would have felt right at home. |
| 936 | * VirtueIsWeakness: Constantly. He claims unity, peace, harmony, self-sacrifice, and every virtue shown by The Enterprise crew is a weakness he can exploit. |
| 937 | * WalkingSpoiler: Knowing anything more than the fact that he's a sociopathic warlord out for Starfleet's blood spoils his true origin [[spoiler: and species.]] |
| 938 | * WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:Krall is actually Balthazar Edison, a Starfleet captain from [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Archer's time]].]] He fought against the Xindi and Romulans in the war. For his service as a soldier, he was [[spoiler:made a captain in the newly created Starfleet and given command of a ship to explore the galaxy.]] His ship was lost on an alien planet and nobody came to his rescue. He found alien tech on the planet to keep him alive in the intervening century at the literal cost of his humanity and sanity. |
| 939 | * WhyWeAreBummedCommunismFell: He felt betrayed when [[spoiler:Earth helped found the Federation, seeing other alien races as no different from the Romulans and Xindi he had to fight.]] His isolation with the failure of [[spoiler:the USS ''Franklin'']] turned that feeling into an all-consuming rage, taking the opinion that they were abandoned by the Federation. Finding the technology abandoned on the planet he was lost at drove him to actively seek revenge. |
| 940 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Personal logs show that Krall was already a bit unhinged by the time he discovered the leftover alien tech on the planet a hundred years ago. After a century of draining aliens of their life force to sustain himself and being physically warped by it, Krall has completely snapped into OmnicidalManiac territory. |
| 941 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Deprived of his purpose in life, abandoned by the government that he fought for, reduced to horrifying means to stay alive, and mutated into a barely-human monster. It's really no surprise that Edison snapped.]] |
| 942 | * YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: While he never actually said it out loud, he still killed a member of the ''Enterprise'' crew after he got what he wanted, simply to show that he can. |
| 943 | [[/folder]] |
| 944 | |
| 945 | [[folder:Manas]] |
| 946 | !!Manas a.k.a. Anderson Le |
| 947 | !!!'''Played by:''' Creator/JoeTaslim |
| 948 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' |
| 949 | |
| 950 | Krall's second-in-command. |
| 951 | ---- |
| 952 | * BlingOfWar: Manas' suit glows silver as he starts to drain Sulu. |
| 953 | * TheDragon: Manas serves as Krall's second-in-command and top enforcer. |
| 954 | * FlatCharacter: All we ever really learn of him is that he obeys Krall without question and that he's sadistic and cruel. The way he urges Krall to "finish the mission" near the end also seems to suggest he subscribes to Krall's BloodKnight soldier philosophy. |
| 955 | * IShallTauntYou: Twice during his fight with Jaylah. |
| 956 | ** First: |
| 957 | --->(In alien language) "You will die here... just like your father." |
| 958 | ** And then after getting hold of her beacon and throwing it away from her: |
| 959 | ---> (In alien language) "They will leave you here." |
| 960 | * OneManArmy: He cuts through redshirts like butter and had Jaylah on the defensive for the majority of their fight. |
| 961 | * RailingKill: Throws a RedShirt off a catwalk (with the RedShirt doing a [[StockScream Wilhelm Scream]]) as they fall. |
| 962 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler: Like Krall and Kalara, he's been alive for hundreds of years with life-draining technology.]] |
| 963 | * ShockAndAwe: His rifle emits a strong electrical burst which kills an entire catwalk of redshirts. |
| 964 | * TranshumanAliens: He, Krall, and [[spoiler:Kalara are the three surviving members of the USS ''Franklin'', now mutated.]] |
| 965 | * TranshumanTreachery: The [[spoiler: three]] founded the Swarm and their goal is the destruction of ''Yorktown''. |
| 966 | * WasOnceAMan: Like Krall, he was once [[spoiler: a human crew member of the USS ''Franklin''.]] |
| 967 | * WouldHitAGirl: Dominates in his fight with Jaylah. [[spoiler:She only defeats him by [[DisneyVillainDeath throwing both of them off a cliff]]. Fortunately, Kirk (and the transporter beam that already is locked on him) is there to catch her.]] |
| 968 | * YouKilledMyFather: Manas killed Jaylah's father, earning her fear and hatred. |
| 969 | [[/folder]] |
| 970 | |
| 971 | [[folder:Kalara]] |
| 972 | !!Kalara a.k.a. Jessica Wolff |
| 973 | !!!'''Played by:''' Creator/LydiaWilson |
| 974 | !!!'''Dubbed in French by:''' Sybille Tureau |
| 975 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' |
| 976 | |
| 977 | A survivor of the Swarm, discovered in a damaged lifepod coming out of the nebula near ''Yorktown''. |
| 978 | ---- |
| 979 | * AllThereInTheScript: Her name isn't spoken in the film, but is shown in the end credits. |
| 980 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She's secretly one of Krall's henchmen who [[spoiler: deliberately lured the ''Enterprise'' into a trap.]] |
| 981 | * DeathByLookingUp: [[spoiler:Once it's clear the ''Enterprise'' will fall on Kalara, she doesn't even try to move.]] |
| 982 | * DroppedABridgeOnHer: [[spoiler:A literal example, as the ''Enterprise's'' saucer section was flipped over to crush her.]] |
| 983 | * HateSink: For [[spoiler:taking advantage of the goodness of Kirk and leading the ''Enterprise'' to its destruction, along with the deaths of many of the crew.]] She could've been forgiven if [[spoiler:she was being sincere about her crew being held hostage by Krall motivating her to help him. Once she shows her true colours and smugly betrays Kirk, it's supremely satisfying to watch him pull a fast one on her and crush her into paste using the wreckage of the ''Enterprise''.]] |
| 984 | * KarmicDeath: Killed by [[spoiler:the crashed saucer of the ''Enterprise'']] when its thrusters are ignited and it flips over. |
| 985 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler: Just like Krall and Manas, she's been alive for hundreds of years with life-draining technology.]] |
| 986 | * SmugSnake: She's quite full of herself after she reveals her ruse to Kirk. |
| 987 | * SquashedFlat: [[spoiler: She's crushed by the saucer of the ''Enterprise'' when it falls on her.]] |
| 988 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: Using the wreck of a multi-million ton starship to kill a woman who weighed at most 130 pounds falls into this. We can assume Kalara's remains were ''well'' integrated into the terrain.]] |
| 989 | * TranslatorMicrobes: A computer voice that immediately translates her alien language to English. |
| 990 | * TranshumanAliens: Like Krall and Manas, she's [[spoiler:a former human member of the USS ''Franklin''.]] |
| 991 | * TranshumanTreachery: Like Krall and Manas, she [[spoiler:now assists them in destroying parts of the Federation by playing the WoundedGazelleGambit to lure crews into their trap.]] |
| 992 | * VillainousBreakdown: After smugly betraying Kirk, she confidently tries to snatch the artifact out of its hideout. But when she finds that Kirk had it taken out and given to Chekov beforehand, therefore outsmarting her, she was ''very furious'' to the point where she actively tries to kill them both. Also at one point during the shootout chase, she even ''snarls''. |
| 993 | * WasOnceAMan: She, like Krall and Manas, was [[spoiler:once a human crew member of the USS ''Franklin''.]] |
| 994 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: How Krall has used her for the last century to lure ships to Altamid to capture and consume their crews. After luring the ''Enterprise'' to its destruction in Krall's trap, she tries it a second time by claiming to Kirk that she was coerced. Unfortunately for her, [[CryingWolf crying]] [[MeaningfulName Wolf]] doesn't work twice on Kirk. |
| 995 | -->'''Kalara (through a translator device):''' Do you believe every sad story you hear?\ |
| 996 | '''Kirk:''' Not every.\ |
