JJ Abrams' new Star Trek diverted from the original because Nero came from the future to the past and altered history. But Khan was alive 300 years prior and should be the same as the originals right? The whole thing makes no sense.

even though its the same universe, its still a reboot for the series. the characters are gonna look different.

Benedict Cumberbatch may be a good actor but he was a poor choice for this part. share

Whoever said it was the same Khan from the first movie? It may be unlikely but it is possible that 2 people from the ship had the same name.
How advanced is there plastic surgery? How feasible is it that there plastic surgery is advanced enough to make him look white

The modern Star Trek films take place in an alternate timeline resulting not only from Nero and Spock's actions in the past, but also due to the Enterprise crew's absence from a number of time-travel events ('Tomorrow is Yesterday.' 'The City on The Edge of Forever', 'Assignment: Earth', and 'Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home'), and subsequent other Starfleet/Federation temporal incidents not taking place, culminating in a noticeably different 20th Century and beyond.share
One major change? The "Khan" we see in Star Trek Into Darkness is not Khan Noonien Singh, but is in fact Gary Seven: a genetically-altered, hyper-intelligent human agent of a distant, hidden alien species.
We see from his one episode in the Original Series that Seven possess the ability to resist a Vulcan neck pitch: an ability not shared by the augments in 'Space Seed', but shared by "Khan" in STID. He also displays immense strength and combat training by throwing two security guards away and rattling Spock with one hit. Kirk, a man who defeated Khan (who purported to supposedly possess 5 times an average human’s strength, yet severely lacked the fighting ability necessary to properly utilize it) by himself, declares without doubt afterwards that:
Without our phasers, he would have overpowered all five of us."
Seven also has an aptitude for understanding and using foreign machinery, intuitively being able to use the transporter console. This is likely derived from having been taught knowledge of advanced sciences and technologies by his alien trainers, some of which is beyond Federation capability. Wouldn’t such a mind-controlled be able to more believably upgrade and improve Starfleet defensive, offensive, and propulsion capabilities?
Then there’s the case of the regenerative blood. McCoy can’t make heads nor tails of how it works: a product of 20th Century biological science stumping a 23rd Century Federation doctor? Or the tell-tale sign that an advanced extraterrestrial species altered a human being beyond the abilities of an Khan Noonien Singh-era augment?
A final similarity between both men is their rather cold, internally calculating personality: a far cry from the gregarious, passionate, exceedingly polite Noonien Singh.
The BIG problem, of course, is what specific events lead to Gary Seven replacing Khan Noonien Singh, as well as warping him into a ruthless, cruel individual obsessed with protecting 72 augments. . .
