Why didn't Khan regenerate on Genesis?

[Nerys Myk]

Blame the proto-matter.

You guys are killing me. Punny.

Another vote for Khan was atomized. Also, the whole Spock being regenerated into a child was a bit thin to begin with

 

[EJA]

Can I just say that, joke or not, I quite like the idea of the Genesis Planet being possessed by Khan's vengeful spirit. Someone ought to turn that into a story...

Jokes aside, according to the genesis wave books the initial wave erases all life thats there at that time. While not cannon, I think the explanation for the healing properties, like what rejuvenated Spock, made sense. Once the initial wave has passed, and the new matrix takes hold, there is a time where there is still a lot of metagenic flux, this flux can hyper stimulate the healing process. This was shown in the novels by Admiral Nacheyev. She was injured, badly burned on half her body. Geordi applied some metagenic ooze to her wounds and the end result was half her face was fully healed and looked 30 years younger then the other half.

Blame the proto-matter.

Blame Khan. Uh duh.

They didn't want to turn Khan into the Master.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

Yeah. Khan blowed up.

Blowed up real good.

Damit you stole my line/reply

There evidently was some brief consideration of trying to resurrect Khan for the following movie - simple studio-think; they were so happy with TWOK and with Montalban they wanted a sequel to the sequel.

I don't think the Genesis Matrix could replicate his plastic chest.

Khan I just say this thread is truly amusing. And I agree Khan dust probably cant get beck together to well. And didn't the planet try to eat Kirk. I think it was possessed by his spirit.

Why am I recalling an article from 88 or 89 about shelved/trash-binned TNG story ideas (Starlog?) where they had tried to figure out how to bring back Khan in the 24th century.

 

[Alrik]

Now you're pushing it.

Hard work pushing a raft.

Even worse once its on the beach, but then again, that's where they would have found the First Khan Track.

I can see it now! Star Trek III revenge of Planet Khan! Khan turns into a planet and eats other planets.

 

[cybersoldier]

Spocks body was intact. There was nothing left of Khan bigger than an atom.

What if the planet became the evil incarnation of Khan and tried to kill who ever landed on it?

A bioplanet version of unicron

I can see a rock formation look like khan trying to eat kirk

He still hates Kirk, 'cos the Admiral takes him for granite.

 

[Toban Kal]

If I remember correctly. the entire nebula, including the ship inside, was converted into the soler system. Khan didn't regenerate because Khan became part of the planet.

Maybe in a few million years a Khan-like race will evolve but who knows.
