Early in into the Debate of who was Cumberbatch really playing there were three names brought up big time. Khan who he played, Garry Mitchell who became a god like being in the second Pilot for Star Trek and Garth of Izar.
I always wanted to see a brawl between Khan and Garth. Uberman vs Superman. The Dark Prince vs The Fallen Hero.
