I saw BullyingADragon on the page, but I don't think Harrison was too offended by Kirk punching on him after his capture. He knew a normal Human couldn't hurt him, and had probably already planned to KillEmAll regardless. So I suspect he just allowed Kirk to vent on him.

[[WMG: "Khan" isn't a name.]]
It's a title. In Into Darkness, [[spoiler: John Harrison/Khan]] is never referred to as Khan Noonien Singh. He only identifies himself as Khan, the only person referring to him by the full name being Old!Spock. It's obvious [[spoiler: John Harrison]] does not originate from northern India, like the OS Khan, and even the technology of 2259 would not allow for plastic surgery that good. The only reasonable explanation is that the Khan seen in Into Darkness is not the same Khan who battled the Enterprise in the OS and the second movie, and instead is an epithet applied to prominent people during the Eugenics War. Confusion has resulted in many believing it to be Noonien Singh's name, similar to how many believe Mahatma to be Gandhi's first name, which he encouraged due to the level of fear it carried. The Khan in Into Darkness likely took the same name out of either arrogance, or believed it to be an inherited title for whoever was in charge.
As for what happened to the OS Khan, it's possible he either died when awakened (when he was awoken in Space Seed, it must be noted he coded and had to be broken out, something which may not have been done by a group not led by the impulsive Kirk) or was deemed too dangerous and swiftly dealt with in the only way Marcus would have approved of.

[[WMG: Khan looks like a European in the movie "Into Darkness" because he's had his appearance changed]]
It would help to conceal his identity, after all one of the worst dictators in the history of the world would be pretty recognisable. Changing his face and skin colour could have been an extra precaution in case somebody got hold of an image of him.
[[WMG: As of Into Darkness the Enterprise A has been retconned into the circular ship on Marcus' desk.]]
There's a collection of models on Marcus' desk representing the progression to and of spaceflight. We can recognise all the ships until a one with 2 circular portions around a central pillar. First Contact indirectly suggests that there was no significant space flight before first contact as spaceships (even at least one or two could have survived the war) are not dispatched to investigate the Enterprise and there are no mention of any habitats on the moon or anywhere outside of Earth. Also it would be way cooler than the Enterprise A we got and answer the question "why did the Federation go with the human design and abandon their own ship layout?". The Answer could be that the current Federation ships are different from everybody's ship designs.

[WMG: ''Star Trek XII'' will suck.]]
* Some people have joked that ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' was the best ''Star Trek'' movie ever made. If we accept this theory, then ''Galaxy Quest'' was really ''Star Trek X'', ''Nemesis'' was the 11th movie, and the 2009 film was 12th. Ergo, the [[StarTrekMoviecurse even/odd curse]] plaguing the movies was never broken and the twelfth film, which is really the ''thirteenth'', will suck.
** Well, it did...
*** Your Mileage May ''Greatly'' Vary on that one.

* Since war with the Klingons was not averted in this film, and may in fact now be inevitable, the next film will be about preventing that war from occuring. The "face" for the Klingons and the film's main antagonist will be General Kor, the original Klingon villain from the TOS episode "Day of the Dove". In this era, Kor would still be at the height of his career as one of the Empire's premier warriors (and being essentially nobility doesn't hurt either) and if war with the Federation does come, it would be likely he'd be one of the people in charge of the invasion force. Plus it would just be a nice tip of the hat to the franchise's first-ever Klingon villain to get a chance as a movie antagonist. Kang and Koloth may also have smaller roles as Kor's CoDragons.

** Which is a common enough occurence IRL. Many, many primitive cultures have languages far, far, more complex on a grammatical level than say, English. Native American languages and Australian Aboriginal languages are good examples. Advanced civilizations also tend to ''simplify'' their written language for the sake of efficiency.
