“Our missions are peaceful… not for conquest. When we do battle, it is only because we have no choice.” “Not chess, Spock. Poker. You know the game ?” Kirk has a reputation as a ladies’ man, although he had fewer relationships on-screen than most people think. Spock once said “Commanding a starship is your first, best destiny. Anything else is a waste of material.” Kirk is the consummate leader. He is comfortable enough to spend time in the rec room wrestling with crew members, yet poised enough to charm and dazzle heads of state. His duty to ship and crew comes before all other passions and loves. Kirk was a definitive pioneer, seeking out and finding new civilizations and occasionally saving the Federation from invasion and destruction. He was keen at identifying the root of most problems and finding a quick, if sometimes dicey, solution. Uhura said upon his resumption of command of the Enterprise, “Our chances of coming back from this mission just doubled.” In short, he is an incredible problem solver, and can overcome adverse odds through sheer force of will. Or, as Lt. James Kirk possesses no superhuman powers. Yet his skills, charisma, experience, and position as Captain of a Starship make him one of the most formidable humans in the Star Trek universe. He can beat Vulcans at chess, defeat low-level superhumans in hand-to-hand combat, and outwit Greek gods.
