Does the Kelvin universe have its own mirror universe?

Personally, I hope not, because it'd mean that every alternate timeline or alternate quantum reality may have its own Mirror Universe. One Mirror Universe is more than enough, thank you.
 
ooh! Gem Kirk! That would be interesting.. !
I'd say ... if the writers need something in the Kelvin Mirror.. than Yep!
 
The thing that bugs me about this is that if the divergence point for the Kelvinverse is Spock and Nero's time travel from the Primeverse, then in theory you'd need MU Spock and Nero to do the same to create an MU Kelvinverse...but we have no reason to believe that MU Spock lived long enough that he would have been able to do so. Now in theory another MU individual could have tried to save MU Romulus, since Spock himself was incidental, but do we even have reason to believe the MU Vulcans would try to save the MU Romulans?

If MU Kelvinverses have been shown, I'd be curious to hear more about the MUK divergence point.

The first Mirror Universe they had in the comics does have it's own Prime Spock, Nero and the Narada and use them as major plot points.
 
I kind of wonder how that timeline justified having Spock live long enough for that to happen. By that point in the MU we're used to the Terran Empire was long gone.

That is to say, the regular Spock and Nero were sent to the past of the Mirror Universe rather than (or in addition to) their own past in that comic. In the second comic that dealt with a Mirror Universe, no explanation was given for why it was a Kelvin-style universe and not a TOS-style one.

But, Spock would be the logical one and possibly foresee the decline and use the Tantalus field to cover his escape. He then began recruiting to use the Red Matter to attack the Alliance.
 
As shown in TNG "Parallels," some version of the many-worlds interpretation applies in the Trek reality. So yes, any universe that we could possibly imagine actually does exist "out there" in its own quantum realm. One of those would be a "mirror" version of the Kelvinverse. Yet another would be just like that, but everybody looks like an Oompa-loompa. The possibilities are infinite.

With infinite combinations? :vulcan:

So Spock faked his own death and eventually went to Romulus with the intention of destroying it for reasons, but then got sucked into the ensuing black hole along with Nero?

It's not the worst rationalization I've ever heard...

Attacking the Romulans to prevent them from siding with the Klingons and the Cardassians, thus allowing the Empire to begin increasing its power.

I was going to make the same point on "Parallels". There's probably hundreds of thousands of "Mirror Universes" in the Star Trek multiverse.
 
There are some significant differences between the TOS and STD mirror universes, enough to indicate they are two different universes.
 
The Kelvin mirror universe would be the same as TOS one as all 3 are different timelines of the same universe

I think you meant multiverse at the end, and that each timeline is its own universe, but in any case, I don't agree anyhow...

We have the Primeverse and PrimeSpock and Nero time travelling into the past to "create" (or simply track-jump) into the Kelvinverse.

We have the MU, which has an unclear divergence point from the Primeverse, and MUSpock and Nero apparently time travelling into the past to create/track-jump into the MUKelvinverse.

As the divergence point of the MU predates the divergence point of the Kelvinverse, I don't see a reasonable way in which the Kelvin MU could be identical to the Prime MU...unless the MU was itself created due to time-travel...
