It seems to be Gary Mitchell. Kirk's friend and a Lt. Commander who pretty much becomes a psuedo-god after directly coming into contact with energies from a galactic barrier.
Matter Manip, Energy Manip, Super Strength/Durability/Speed, TK, and like 50 other powers.
Karl Urban said that's who it is, and that's who it seems to be as he's shown some crazy stuff in the trailers like jumping 40+ feet with an I-Beam and swinging it like a staff. And he said he could cure that little girl in the IMAX trailer.
It's around 1:10 where it starts. He seems to jump from a great distance, make a phaser bolt or two ricochet while shooting back, and then uses whatever that big thing is in his hand to crack his legs. Not an I-Beam upon closer inspection, but it still looks huge.
And while I agree Kahn could probably cure the girl given how smart he is, he's supposed to be what, 5x a human? Vulcan's and Romulans are only 3x and I doubt Spock could pull that off. And Nero didn't look as impressive as "John Harrison", which is Cumberbatch's character's name that we know so far.
Everything I saw wouldn't be beyond Khan's augmented body per se, especially if Abram's took some liberties in making him more uber in his vision. I'm actually happy I don't know it's Khan for sure, adds some excitement.
Khan is at x5 human strength. The Augments Dr. Arik Soong (great-grandfather to Data's creator) messed with in Star Trek: Enterprise were [likely] higher, iirc.
I also didn't see the I-Beam swing scene, but it's possible I was utterly distracted by this:

Not all that much of a redesign. Unless the entire race is bald?
General Chang (STVI: The Undiscovered Country) was bald too.
