Warning ! This article hold coddler for Star Trek : Defiant # 4It ’s hard to think of aStar Trekcharacter smarter than Spock , as being sound to the point of near omniscience is why he was so valuable onthe USS Enterprise , and presently on the technically slip ship , the Defiant . Something similar can be said forthe android brother ofThe Next Generation ’s Data named Lore , as he claim to be a more brilliant model equate to Data . In essence , the duo should be deliberate the greatest collective head in theStar Trekuniverse . However , that is n’t the eccentric , as Spock himself admits the oneStar Trekcharacter who ’s actually smart than him and Lore combine : Korath .
Korath is a Klingon scientist and member of the Klingon High Council whose origin inStar Trekhistory are a minute different from those of other characters . Rather than first appearing in any one of the shows , Korath made his first appearance in theStar Trek - themed Las Vegas attractor , Star Trek : The Experience . Korath was the point of stress in the Klingon Encounter ride within the larger experience , though after this more meta intromission to the fandom , Korath quickly start making a name for himself within the lore . In fact , Korath now find himself as one of the main antagonists inStar Trek , not in a themed ride , but in the ongoing comical book seriesStar Trek : Defiant , and his two main rivals are Spock and Lore . However , according to Spock himself , those two are n’t even close to Korath ’s level of intellect - and the grounds why is two - fold .
Korath Led Spock & Lore Into A Trap AFTER Inventing Time Travel
InStar Trek : Defiant#4 by Christopher Cantwell and Ángel Unzueta , the crew of the Defiant - which included Captain Worf , First Officer Spock , and Science ( not Officer ) Lore - are chase a Klingon ship as a part of their mission to find Kahless before he uses a satellite - killing weapon . This delegacy run them on something of a wild jackass pursuit set by Korath , as Spock and Lore promptly found themselves walking right into a trap set by the Klingon scientist , with the topic ending right as this befall to them , allow their fate unidentified until issue # 5 . This happened after the Defiant gathered intel alarm them to the fact that Korath invented sentence travel technology - something that is n’t needs Modern to the wider serial , but was shocking enough to most of the Defiant gang ( even if Lore was characteristically unimpressed ) . However , his place change when they walked into the aforementioned hole , at which distributor point Spock admit item - blank that Korath was more healthy than both of them combined .
The events in this comic way out alone is enough to prove Spock ’s admission correct , as not only did Korath invent sentence travel - which neither Spock nor Lore have done - but he also prove his higher reason in a more direct manner by literally overreach Spock and Lore with the trap he set for them that the two failed to recognise . This is no small feat , either , especially given the extensive washing list of deterrent example that reassert Spock and Lore ’s intelligence operation . Not only that , but this is coming from a character who develop in aStar Trektheme ride , and who is now regard as the smartest character in the main serial , both in price of inventive maven and unique cunning .
From fabricate sentence travel and outsmart Spock and Lore , to the fact that Spock quite literally admit it himself , Star Trekconfirms the one character smarter than two of the most brilliant judgment in the set up canyon : Korath - and base on this issue alone , this new title is well - gain .
