10 More Movie Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won
1. Khan Noonien Singh - Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalbán) may not survive the events of the greatest Star Trek movie, but he nevertheless fulfills his primary objective, to in his own words do something far worse than kill Captain Kirk (William Shatner) - hurt him, and hurt him bad.
Khan's actions end up severely damaging the Enterprise, in turn causing Spock's (Leonard Nimoy) sacrificial death. Then, in Kirk's quest to resurrect Spock in the third film, that also leads to the death of Kirk's son David Marcus (Merritt Butrick).
On top of that, the precious Genesis Device is destroyed, a ton of Starfleet personnel are dead, and because Kirk kills Klingon Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) in the third movie's climax, Klingons now hate him forever more.
That's... a big 'ol mess that Khan created for Kirk, and consequently a lot of pain even long after Khan himself is dead.
Khan cuts Kirk and he cuts him deep, no matter that he didn't actually kill the guy. Instead, he left him to live and experience the full feeling of his pain.
