Early in my life I realized I was a SciFi kid. I loved anything that involved space and the supernatural and most days in my youth I spent watching the SciFi channel on TV. Back in the day most shows were low budget and a bit cheesy, but my dad and I enjoyed watching it none the less. One of the greater shows that appeared on SciFi was the all so famous Star Trek.
In the movie, Star Trek, Captain Kirk travels the Universe fighting theives and villians in the famous ship, Enterprise. Throughout the series many villians attacked the Enterprise and many were vanquished. One of my all time favorite villians was Khan, played by Ricardo Montalban.
Many of you may know Ricardo as the grandpa on Spy Kids, but I'm more accostumed to Ricardo in Star Trek. The move Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan puts Ricardo against William Shatner head on in an all so glorious battle, that remains to this day as one of the greatest battles in all of movie history. Ricardo may have been portrayed as a villian in his movie, but in my eyes he will always be a hero.
