COLONEL GREEN, after the close of the Third World War on Earth, made himself infamous by what he did next. He summarily executed tens of millions of people who had suffered radiation injury during the various nuclear bombardments. He excused his act (for none can justify it) by saying he was preventing the births of hundreds of millions of radiation-deformed people who would otherwise have become a burden on society. He also developed a reputation for opening negotiations with people, then clandestinely murdering them.His atrocious act would inspire another xenophobe 100 years later.Captain James T. Kirk, at least in the Prime Time Line, would encounter an equally vicious simulacrum of Colonel Green, one of four enemies of the good (the others being Genghis Khan, the Klingon Emperor Kahless the Unforgettable, and Zara, an expert on bio-weapons) whom an advanced researcher would pit against Kirk, Spock, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, and the great Vulcan Reformer, Surak.
