Talk:Alexander Marcus (alternate reality)

Alexander?
Is his first name mentioned at all in the movie? If not, this should probably be moved to Marcus (Admiral). - Mitchz95 (talk) 01:09, May 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Was it in the credits? 31dot (talk) 01:16, May 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Khan was the one who said he referred to marcus as Alexander Marcus so yes it was in the movie.

 * Yes, his first name was mentioned in the movie, by Khan. Here is the dialogue:
 * KIRK: “Why would a Starfleet admiral ask a 300-year-old frozen man for help?”
 * KHAN: “Because I am… better.”
 * KIRK: “At what?”
 * KHAN: “Everything. Alexander Marcus needed to respond to an uncivilized threat in a civilized time and for that, he needed a warrior’s mind – my mind – to design weapons and warships.”
 * So, there you go. :) --From Andoria with Love (talk) 05:08, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Comparison
Has Marcus been compared to any 21st century person?

 * I remember a Yahoo article comparing him to Dick Cheney, but given how small the article is for now I deemed a pop culture section similar to Khan and the Klingons' articles inappropriate. On the Blu-ray, the writers might compare Marcus to the Bush administration, but Weller's comparison to Curtis LeMay is here as a reminder militarism is not unique in history. --Alientraveller (talk) 10:24, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Main Information
Since when is Admiral Marcus the head of Starfleet? What happened to the President and Federation Council? Anonymous 96.18.16.93 00:00, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * In the Prime universe, there was a Commander in chief of Starfleet aside from the President and the Council, so it would stand to reason there is in the alt reality too. I suggest you read the Background section of that article for some exploration of the subject you bring up. 31dot (talk) 00:03, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I think that should be mentioned in the article in case others have the same question. I would do it myself, but I don't want to mess anything up. Anonymous --96.18.16.93 06:52, May 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I saw the movie again yesterday, and Kirk explicitly referred to Marcus as the head of Starfleet. - Mitchz95 (talk) 17:19, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
