In 2265, Kirk became captain of the I.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 after assassinating Captain Christopher Pike[1] on Stardate 1299.7.[10] Kirk had obtained a weapon called the Tantalus Device, which allowed its operator to remotely vaporize a target.[1]

In at least one timeline, Kirk used the Tantalus Device, which he had smuggled aboard the Enterprise with the aid of an Orion smuggler, Juraav, whom he later killed,[9] to kill Pike after engaging him in single combat.[10]

Over the next several years, Kirk used the device to make his adversaries disappear under mysterious circumstances, but in 2267, a freak transporter accident caused him to temporarily trade places with his counterpart in the Prime Universe. In several timelines that spawned from that incident, upon his return, Kirk was immediately killed by his first officer, Spock, who had been influenced by the visitors from the other universe;[4, 8] in others, Spock waited years before making his move;[2] in still others, Spock did nothing.[5]

In one of the timelines in which Kirk was not immediately killed, he used the Tantalus Device to make his way up through Imperial politics, eventually declaring himself Emperor Tiberius.[2] He later survived an assassination attempt by Spock, but was driven from power and went into hiding for nearly a century. Upon his reemergence, he attempted an invasion of the GN22 (“Shatnerverse”) timeline, but was thwarted by his counterpart and Captain Jean-Luc Picard in that reality.[3]

In another timeline, Kirk led an attempted invasion of the EU timeline in 2285,[6] but he was not only stopped by his counterpart, he and his entire crew, with the exception of Spock, were killed by the Imperial Starfleet, which had labeled them traitors following the interference of their counterparts.[7] Portrayed by William Shatner.
