I’m speaking as Spock now. I would like a battle to the death with Kelvin Spock. There can only be one. And this will always be my answer: I think Nimoy’s Spock informed the performance of Brent as Data, who I think informed the performance of me, and I would love to have scenes with Data. Yeah, battle to the death.

Which Spock Would Win Ethan Peck’s Proposed Battle To The Death?
Is there a logical victor?
Contemplating who would win a battle to the death between Ethan Peck’s Lt. Spock and Zachary Quinto’s Commander Spock is fascinating. For his part,Quinto’s Spock has a great deal of combat experiencein J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies, from fighting Romulans with Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) toSpock slugging it out with Khan Noonien Singh(Benedict Cumberbatch). Kelvin Spock also has pent-up rage and trauma from witnessing the destruction of Vulcan and the death of his mother, Amanda Grayson (Winona Ryder).
Ethan Peck jokes there can only be one Spock, but Star Trek is fortunate we have two.
Ethan Peck’s Lt. Spock hasn’t seen as much warfare as Zachary Quinto’s Spock onStar Trek: Strange New Worlds.However, Spock did dream about battling himself on Vulcan inStrange New Worldsseason 1’s “Spock Amok.“Peck’s Vulcan has also faced the Gorn and unleashed his human emotions. Like his Kelvin timeline counterpart and Lt. Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Lt. Spock has also been dumped by Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush). There’s no clear way to predict a Spock vs. Spock winner. But while Ethan Peck jokes there can only be one Spock,Star Trekis fortunate we have two.
