History YMMV / StarTrekDCComics

* CompleteMonster: Pitkemeni is the [[CorruptBureaucrat Minister of Justice]] for Pilkor III, a small isolationist world on the border between the Federation and the Romulan Empire. Pitkemeni is a major player in a GovernmentConspiracy to take Pilkor III from a small xenophobic planet to a major player in galactic affairs. Pitkemeni and other government officials kidnap 100 random citizens of Pilkor III, put implants in their brains to give them FalseMemories and place them on a colony on another world. Pitkemeni's forces [[FalseFlagOperation disguise themselves as Romulans]] and attack the colony, killing almost everyone there. Pitkemeni then [[IHaveYourWife kidnaps Tred Kegin]], the husband of Victoria Leigh, a human living on Pilkor III, who is an old friend of Captain Kirk. Pitkemeni threatens to kill Tred, unless Leigh lures Kirk and the Enterprise to the site of the destroyed colony. Pitkemeni is hoping to frame the Romulans for this crime, so that the Federation will declare war on the Romulans to head off a new Romulan offensive. Pitkemeni hopes this war will destroy every Romulan and Federation colony in the sector, so that Pilkor III can colonize the sector.

** [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/StarTrekS1E17TheSquireOfGothos Trelane]] returns in issue 45, intending to "study" Kirk's [[ReallyGetsAround reputation as]] TheCasanova, pairing him up with a variety of women — such as ex-Yeoman Teresa Ross, and [[StarTrekIITheWrathofKhan Carol Marcus]] — to watch Kirk in action. Meanwhile, ''Enterprise'' is stalked by an energy reading that Trelane continually moves them out of reach of. Eventually, Trelane reveales what he's ''really'' after is Kirk's advice on how to approach women...when it turns out the energy reading ''Enterprise'' keeps detecting is a ''woman'' of his species. A very ''[[ClingyJealousGirl possessive]]'' woman with the hots for Trelane, and Trelane has no idea how to handle her. Three years after the issue was published, an [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E10TheQAndTheGrey episode]] of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' finds Q pursuing Janeway, not to ''learn'' from her, but to ''mate with her'' himself to create a new Q.[[note]]Although the circumstances are also much more dire than in the comics story, since Q wants to have a child with Janeway to bring fresh blood into the Continuum, and to put an end to a potentially cataclysmic civil war currently raging amongst the Q.[[/note]] Eventually a jealous {{Yandere}} female Q turns up, whom Q was once in a relationship with, and by the end of the episode Q and Q have a child together. Adding extra hilarity to the similarities is the fact that it's popular fanon — and established in Expanded Universe literature — that Trelane's species and the Q are one and the same.

** Since ExecutiveMeddling prevented Kirk from having a serious love interest, Sulu was more or less the series' resident [[TheCasanova Casanova]], having flirtations with several women during his stint as a regular. It becomes quite funny when Creator/GeorgeTakei came out as gay years after the book ended, but ''especially'' so when ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' established that Sulu ''himself'' is homosexual.

** In issue 29, Kirk learns that the population of a planet applying for admission to the Federation has been slaughtering the neighboring species so they can seize their land, and mine the extremely rare and valuable mineral. [[Film/{{Avatar}} That sounds familiar...]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Issue 22 of the second volume reveals that a Nasgul splinter faction set up what is described as an "agricultural colony." The organization is called The Circle, and is led by half-sister of the Salla, and is part of an attempt to wrest control of her people away from her brother. Meanwhile they engage in terrorist activities against a mining colony seeking Federation membership. [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS02E01TheHomecoming This wouldn't be the franchise's last terrorist organization by that name.]]
