As far as iconic, Montalban is and will be the only true Khan Noonien Singh. Cumberbatch's version likely won't last the test of time.
No, they aren't. We can see physically they aren't similar at all. It's like saying experience doesn't matter at all. So I guess by robs logic weight training wouldn't change your body because your birth was still the same day. Idiot. Their experiences are entirely different post wake up.
Nerdy Trekkers like yourself can speak for yourselves. Cumberbatch is the better Khan and empire also agrees.
NuKhan also let Kirk wail on him and he tired himself out hitting him. Whereas the original Kirk beat montalban's version one on one.
Khan Into Darkness rapes this weaker version with weaker experiences than Abrams Khan.
