Two different versions of it! And a genderswapped universe too.It's in the comics.
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.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.
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.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.
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.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.
With infinite combinations?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.

Attacking the Romulans to prevent them from siding with the Klingons and the Cardassians, thus allowing the Empire to begin increasing its power.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...
In the comics, Mirror Kelvin is visited by Nero and elderly Spock from another universe similar to the Prime Universe.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.

The Kelvin mirror universe would be the same as TOS one as all 3 are different timelines of the same universeAnd if so, would this be something worth exploring in future films?
There are some significant differences between the TOS and STD mirror universes, enough to indicate they are two different universes.
