On This Day: Khan and Kirk First Meet

The perfect soldier and the dreamy captain... together

Today in 1967, Star Trek's James T. Kirk met with his future nemesis, Khan Noonien Singh, a genetically enhanced soldier from the late 20th century.

The episode in which this fateful meeting occurred was titled "Space Seed" and was written by Gene L. Coon and Carey Wilber.

Ricardo Montalbán played Khan in both the original television episode, when he was 46, and in the movie based upon the events of this episode, Star Trek II: The Wraith of Khan, when he was 61.
