 Marla McGivers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a historian with a fascination for bold, colorful characters McGivers was particularly intrigued when, in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode Space Seed, the Enterprise discovered the SS Botany Bay and Khan Noonien Singh, a dictator who had ruled much of Earth in the 1990s.
Fortunately, McGivers was uncomfortable with Khan's murderous plans; she turned against him for long enough to prevent Captain Kirk's death and to help retake the ship.
Khan was left heartbroken by the loss of his "beloved wife," and the seeds of his hatred for Kirk were sown as he swore vengeance on the captain for not checking on their progress.

 #24 Space Seed - The Original Series - Deepspace93.com
Khan turns out to be a genetically engineered criminal; who manages to romance Lt. Marla McGivers and apparently still has evil intentions for Kirk and crew.

Another interesting note, is that writers Gene L. Coon and Carey Wilbur foresaw that we might conceivably have "suspended animation" technology, not to mention genetic engineering, and be sending up sleeper ships of people into space by the mid-1990s, as they set the date of Kahn's launch for sometime in the year 1996.
