Ironically the 2 most prominent "expanded universe" appearances of April outside of the animated series episode, the comics Star Trek Countdown to Darkness from Kelvin timeline and Star Trek Early Voyages comic book set in the 2250s in the Prime Timeline, April was presented as a shady villainous evil Admiral type who was basically a card carrying member of Section 31 in all but name. The Kelvin timeline comic even outright ended with him in prison.

Guys, remember what they did to Yeoman Colt. Now try and tell me it's not the same
Robert April!

Come on now, we all know Colt, uh, was forced to use Krall's life extension alien tech on some hapless spiky alien to save her life.
I also read somewhere that they made Lt. Kyle into an Asian, although I'll have to wait to see if that's true in the show. I'm Asian myself and of course I want to see people who look like me on screen, but not like this. Make a new character.

Which just happens to be the age of the actor.
There is a character named Kyle, who is Asian,
I know. Knowledge of the actor's real age is what inspired that line of reasoning. I guess that I should have made that point explicit in that paragraph.
I mentioned it because it was interesting that they cast someone who matched at least one version of April age wise. Luck? Deliberate? Who knows?
Mount is a year older than Holmes But like Kirk and Spock, April and Pike could have been close in age when they served on the Enterprise.

"The Counter-Clock Incident" is one of those larger-than-life, somewhat inaccurate dramatizations of the Enterprise's missions Admiral Kirk warned us about in his preface to the TMP novelization.

Sounds right to me!
I get a lot of emails about that.
Holy!!!!! Wow wasn't expecting that twist.
then why is she wearing commander stripes on her uniform?
She’s the head nurse, so maybe to make that position more obvious idk
Thursday can't come fast enough.
Good, they shouldn’t hold their punches
So, Robert April is an Admiral??? He's supposed to be a Commodore according to TAS. Is this just the writer of that IGN article being ignorant and thinking Commodores and Admirals are the same thing, or did they just retcon April's rank to something higher than what he should have had.
Yes, that matters to me. The change of skin color does not.

If you have to update the original design in order to approximate the new one, I rest my case.
The above in that picture is the original design.
