Mr. Spock Almost Made Good Star Trek Leave-off
Growing bored with the character, Leonard Nimoy, who had brought Spock to life, allegedly wanted to have him killed off on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. But Nimoy changed his mind at the last minute, hence the authors penned a "in" to bring Spock back. They addressed that in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Though his soul, or "katra," was caught in Doctor McCoy, the Genesis Device helped Spock's body come alive. At the film's conclusion, Spock's mind and body come together once more.
Though Spock was brought back to life, the movie made plain that his road to rehabilitation would be long. Spock is still re-learning most of what he learned when fans see him once more in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Still, Spock is bright and psychologically conscious—far different from his past. Star Trek #12 closes in the voids and creatively and deftly fills them. Since their first appearances, fans had been yearning for the Mirror Universe's comeback as well as its Spock variation.
Spock returned to Third Star Trek Feature Film. The Effects of the Genesis Device helped His Mirror Universe Counterpart to restore His Mind.
Although Spock returned to life at the end of The Search For Spock, his mind was still in chaos; but, as Star Trek #12 reveals in 1985, his goateed Mirror Universe variation was absolutely essential in bringing Spock back to form.
Originally published by DC Comics, Mike Barr wrote Star Trek #12 and Tom Sutton and Ricardo Villagran drew it. Mirror Universe equivalents for the Enterprise crew have launched an assault of the Federation. Searching the Genesis Device, Mirror Spock visits Vulcan to mind-meld with Prime Spock. Still in anarchy are Prime Spock's brain patterns. Mirror Spock starts the mind meld; the Prime version uses it to restore his brain patterns to normalcy.
The most unlikelable savior in the Star Trek Universe is Mirror Spock.
Mirror Spock, who arrived at the Prime Star Trek universe to especially eradicate its Spock, would be the last piece of the jigsaw. The mind meld between the two was a win-win scenario: not only did it give Prime Spock a spark of life once more, but it also enabled Mirror Spock to get past the conditioning the Empire had given him. Mirror Spock sent the Mirror Universe invasion fleet packing and helped turn the tide of the attack by desertion. By doing the mind-meld, Spock preserved the galaxy as well as himself.
It's a fantastic illustration of how often Star Trek producers find ways to challenge the limits of their narratives and incorporate unanticipated components. It's also evidence of the ongoing power of Spock's persona and the way his narrative has been spun through the Star Trek universe.
Mirror Spock agrees to fight against the Empire and the Mirror Universe Kirk and is "healed in exchange."
