* Khan crashing what's left of the ''Vengeance'' into San Francisco. Considering the number of buildings felled, it's like [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror 9/11]] up to eleven. Likely many thousands of deaths.

* [[OhCrap The look on Spock Prime's face]] when Spock asks him if he had ever encountered Khan says it all. Especially if you've seen either the original series or ''Wrath of Khan'', you know from [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Spock Prime's willingness to break his vow]] so Spock, Kirk and the crew have a chance at survival is a damn good sign at how dangerous Khan is.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Khan taking ImplacableMan UpToEleven when Uhura is trying to stun him with a phaser. He takes ten, maybe eleven shots, and each just shoves him back a bit before he goes right back to trying to close in on her with a blood-chilling DeathGlare. [[OhCrap The look on Uhura's face]] is sheer terror as she realizes that all she's doing is slowing him down and ''pissing him off''.

How would you have liked to have been a tourist on Alcatraz Island (one presumes that this is its function in the future) and be erased without warning by a giant starship falling from the sky? Or in any one of the dozens of buildings that were leveled by the crash?

** Hell, ''everything'' about Marcus is blood-chilling. He revives one of the most dangerous warlords who ever existed so he can militarize Starfleet for a war with the Klingons. When Harrison/Khan rebels and flees to Qo'noS, Marcus decides to not only kill him and his cryogenically-preserved "family," he also uses Kirk and the ''Enterprise'' crew as part of a UriahGambit, sacrificing them just so he can provoke the war he wants. And then, when ''that'' goes OffTheRails, he has no compunctions about murdering everybody aboard the ''Enterprise'', just so [[HeKnowsTooMuch they can't reveal what he tried to do]].

** Adding to this is a bit of FridgeHorror: The ''Vengeance'' is referred to as "''[[TheDreadedDreadnought Dreadnought]]'' class." Since ships are typically named after the first one built, there's probably another ship out there named USS ''Dreadnought'' that's just as powerful as this one. And if this is an actual class of starships, then there may be more of these things out there...
