Hey man, tell it to Spock. He’s the one who called Khan “quite intelligent,” which is not exactly something he’d say about most of his fellow crew.
Of course, Khan then proved himself to be a complete idiot afterward, so maybe it’s just that Spock is a poor judge of these things. Maybe McCoy was the genius all along.
Exactly. Kirk is his white whale and his obsession with killing him ends up being his death.
Kahn read Moby Dick, was in the habit of quoting it, completely missed the point of the book.
I’m laughing at the ‘superior intellect.’

And years later, Picard overcame his White Whale.
