I don't think he's Khan either but there's some connection. He might be based off of him. The fact they're using Alice Eve and that scene with the Spock and Kirk peace sign through the glass says a lot. Abrams hasn't even denied a connection to Khan when asked about it.I really don't think he's Khan at all, I think if he's anyone previously seen, he's Gary Mitchell.

I think he's Khan infiltrating that starfleet as 'John Harrison' and he will reveal his true name in the 3rd act.
I think he is a completely original character. In fact I am so sure, I will wager 100 Quatloos on it...![]()
IMO, the way the character is drawn there does strike me as looking like an aged Benedict Cumberbatch.
His turn as Sherlock in the very good BBC series.What's a Khan?
Nah, but seriously, I'm sure it's an original character (probably).
So, anyone have any idea how this Cumberpatch character became big all of the sudden? I mean, the first I heard about him was due to his casting as Smaug (which was completely out of left field for me), and now he seems to be popping up in conversations everywhere.
How much is that in Canadian Quatloos?
Probably already been mentioned, but if not...
The other day I was watching that crappy movie with Chris Pine and Tom Hardy, This Means War. At one point, Hardy's character uses the alias... John Harrison.
DUN DUN DUN
I think I've figured it out.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH IS PLAYING TOM HARDY!!!! MOST EPIC STAR TREK VILLAIN EVERRRRRR!!!!
Doesn't look like Cumberbatch at all in any form IMO. Closer to Peter Weller as some were predicting.
