Khan Noonien Singh

Khan Noonien Singh is a genetically engineered superhuman from twentieth century Earth. He took over a large part of Asia before he was eventually overthrown. Along with a group of other augmented humans, he escaped in a space ship, where he lay in stasis for more than two centuries. He and his followers were discovered by the USS Enterprise, captained by James Kirk. After Khan unsuccessfully attempted to take over the ship, he and the other superhumans were exiled to the planet Ceti Alpha V, where he plotted his revenge.
