I agree that Khan was my favorite villian, (thank god I saw the Wrath of Khan episode before Fantasy Island came out), but I must heartily disagree with that "lust for power and revenge" part.

At least in the first episode, Khan and his people were the Last remnants of a race, fleeing a genocidal war of extermination. What were they supposed to do, lay down and die? Even the lowest of creatures has a right to self-defense.
