According to new spoiler reports, the character of the villain 'John Harrison' in "Star Trek Into Darkness" is not 'Gary Mitchell' as many have speculated, but a 'Nordic Superman', whose name is familiar to "Star Trek" fans.
John Harrison is 'Khan Noonien Singh', aka 'Khan'.
The character debuted in "Space Seed" (1967), a first season episode of "Star Trek: The Original Series" and reappeared as the antagonist in the 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".
In "Space Seed" writer Carey Wilber's first draft of the script introduced the character as 'John Ericssen', a 'Nordic Superman' involved in the 'First World Tyranny'. According to the backstory, Khan is a genetically engineered superhuman who once controlled more than a quarter of the Earth during the 'Eugenics Wars' of the 1990s. After being revived from suspended animation in 2267 by the crew of the 'USS Enterprise', Khan attempts to capture the starship, but is thwarted by 'James T. Kirk' and exiled on 'Ceti Alpha V' to create a new society with his people.
In "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", set fifteen years after "Space Seed", Khan escapes his exile and sets out to seek revenge upon Kirk.
