Star Trek had a nasty habit as of late of creating some really great characters that were saddled with either bad storylines or terrible shows. Few newer actors or actresses suffered from poor writing like Isa Briones who played a bevy of characters when she joined Star Trek: Picard.
She played numerous characters across the show, changing across the two seasons she featured in. One of the last characters she played was Kore Soong, a clone created by Adam Soong, of the same Soong that would create Data. Her creation was kept hidden from her, as she believed she was Adam's daughter until the truth came out.
She'd eventually join up with Wil Wheaton's character, Wesley Crusher, as he recruited her to join him and the Travelers as they explored time and space. it was a solid sendoff for the character, despite not having the best season around her as a character.
Well, whatever issues the show had, the folks who are writing the comic book side of things have no such issues with presenting her in a new light. In Star Trek #20 (via ScreenRant), we find out what happened to Soong after the events of Picard. She's now a high-ranking member of the Travelers and is someone who believes in the mission wholeheartedly.
With Benjamin Sisko starring in the new line of comics as the captain of the Theseus, the captain and its ship are looking to explore past the Galactic Barrier, a big no-no and one that is being meant with some serious resistance. Kore is leading the group who are hoping to bar Sisko from exploring further and in doing so, not only gives her character so much more uniqueness than ever before, but we're finally seeing what could be beyond the barrier.
It's stuff like this that fans want to see. While the comics count as canon, that's only the case for now. Who knows how long this stuff will count for as the next series head could opt to remove these stories from existence, but until they do, we at least get to see how well these newer characters could've looked.
The shows didn't do them justice but the comics are seriously making up for anything that was missing.
