When Khan (Ricardo Montalbán) avenged himself upon Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the USS Enterprise in The Wrath of Khan, he felt he was perfectly justified. And, interestingly, his specific reasons for being so furious with Kirk are somewhat murky. Of course, Khan wasn’t created wholly for the film, even though, generally speaking, after 1982, people tended to have seen the film before The Original Series episode, “Space Seed.”
