Khan Lives!

WARNING: This posts contains spoilers about the latest Star Trek film. If you haven't seen it (and don't want the plot spoiled) then, don't read any further.

I'm glad the writers didn't kill off Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek Into Darkness. He could be quite useful for future stories.

I'm serious.

Say, the Federation faces a genuine existential threat (Klingons & Romulans allying together in a war against the Federation, the Borg, Planet Killers run amok, et al.) and not just something in a Fleet Admiral's mind. Would it not be logical (not to mention dangerous and dramatic) to bring him and his Supermen out of cold storage to face that threat?  73 Augments with 23rd Century weapons could make for a terrifyingly efficient group of warriors.

Also, knowing Khan, he's going to want revenge on Kirk. So, we'll just be wondering throughout the movie when and how he'll go about trying to get that revenge. It could make for a great movie. It certainly did in 1982.

And no, I don't want JJ Abrams to just remake that particular film classic. I simply don't want a character with so much potential to go to waste.

With that being said...
