Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow: The following content contains spoilers!
This page details a counterpart of Carol Marcus in the Kelvin timeline; for Carol Marcus in the primary universe see Carol Marcus; for the Carol Marcus in the mirror universe see Carol Marcus (mirror).

Carol Marcus was a Starfleet science officer who specialized in weapons technology. She was also the daughter of Admiral Alexander Marcus.

Biography

Carol Marcus was born in 2233 in New York City, New York on Earth. (Star Trek (App))

Marcus enrolled in Starfleet Academy in 2254. Her Starfleet commission was made official in 2258. The same year, she was appointed as a science officer at Starfleet Command. Carol Marcus received high marks in research and development, but fair marks with regards to working in a chain-of-command. At some point, she developed a theory based on a secondary speciality that she focused on in evolutionary biology. Her theory was that some weapons could "restore life on a dormant planet. (Star Trek (App))

The app mentions that Carol Marcus was assigned to the AWD, but it is not made clear whether this is the first assignment out of the Academy, or she was put there later.

In 2259, Marcus made her way onto the USS Enterprise under the guise of Caroline Wallace because she was tracking a secret batch of photon torpedoes that she knew her father had developed. While boarding the Enterprise, she lied about her orders, claiming her father had stationed her aboard the ship, when really she had no orders to be on the ship.

Eventually, Spock discovered that Marcus had lied, but he failed to tell Captain James Kirk until later on, when Khan Noonien Singh convinced Kirk to open the torpedoes. Kirk assigned Marcus and Doctor Leonard McCoy to open a torpedo on a planetoid away from the Enterprise. Marcus and McCoy discovered that Khan had his fellow Augments inside of the photon torpedoes.

Later, Marcus tried to convince her father not to destroy the Enterprise with the USS Vengeance, but she was unsuccessful and her father merely beamed her onto the Vengeance. When she met her father, Marcus slapped her father and told him she was embarrassed by him because he had worked with Khan. When Kirk and Khan boarded the ship, Marcus witnessed Khan kill her father by crushing his skull and had her leg broken.

In 2260, Marcus was assigned to the Enterprise for a five year mission of exploration. During that time, Marcus and the other science officers noticed Commander Spock spending more of his time alone. A week later, Marcus received permission from Kirk to join a landing party to New Vulcan in hopes of discussing the Helios Project with the Vulcans. Kirk advised her not to be late for the shuttlecraft down to the planet. When Spock joined the Sasaud following his Pon Farr, Marcus and Ensign Chekov then came up with a cure for him. Marcus and Chekov proposed to fool the transporter into thinking it's in orbit of Vulcan. Marcus also theorized that the pon farr cure was to return home in order to restore vulcans nervous systems. She, Chekov, Scotty, and Dr. McCoy were then given the go ahead to prep the transporters for the procedure. The procedure was succesfull in restoring Spock and the rest of the Sassaud to normal states. (ST movie: Star Trek Into Darkness, TOS - After Darkness comics: "After Darkness, Part 1", "After Darkness, Part 3")
