Answer: Khan, a genetically engineered superhuman

Benedict Cumberbatch does an outstanding job in the role of the superhuman Khan. As with many characters, Khan's motives could possibly be viewed as both heinous and utilitarian. At the film's end Kirk's life is saved by the regenerative powers of Khan's blood.
8. What director's cannon includes two dark films, "Darkman" and "Army of Darkness", as well as the more cheerful "Oz the Great and Powerful"?

Answer: Sam Raimi

Sam Raimi may be best remembered for directing three "Spider-Man" films in the 2000s. The 1992 film "Army of Darkness" is the third and film in Raimi's "The Evil Dead" series. Raimi has actually used his children as extras in the film "Drag Me to Hell".

Thomas Craven does eventually discover who is responsible for the death of his daughter but he ends up dying of radiation poisoning. The main villain in the film, Darius Jedburgh, was originally supposed to be played by Robert De Niro but he left the project because of creative differences.

Although he's not De Niro, Ray Winstone did a solid job in the role of Jedburgh. "Edge of Darkness" followed a similar plot to a television miniseries from 1985 with the same name.
