In one permutation of the Kelvin timeline, Spock was raised by his mother Amanda Grayson on Earth after they were rejected as Humans by Vulcan society, and was given the name Simon Grayson. Simon Grayson served aboard the Federation starship USS Enterprise as first officer and science officer during the 2260s decade. (Boldly Go - I.D.I.C. comic: "Issue 13")
Biography
Grayson joined Starfleet and grew up to resent Vulcans in general, and his father Sarek in particular. Grayson became friends with Leonard McCoy and rejected logic. As a result, the rebellious Lieutenant Commander Grayson clashed with Captain Christopher Pike over flaunting regulations. Grayson had his ears surgically altered to appear more Human. At some point, he married his reality's version of Nyota Uhura only for her to be killed by "The Orphan". Simon swore vengeance against the man and believed himself only worthy of hearing his wife's name upon The Orphan's death. (Boldly Go - I.D.I.C. comic: "Issue 13")
Circa 2263, Grayson disobeyed Pike's order to abandon the captain on Nibiru by sending a military shuttle to the rescue. Rather than expressing gratitude for his survival, Pike condemned Grayson to court martial. Confining the aberrant commander to quarters, Pike nevertheless patched down a connection from the bridge during the investigation of an anomaly. During a sudden attack by the Klingon warbird IKS Chonnaq, "The Orphan" demanded Grayson to be handed over as an act of revenge for a perceived injustice, which Pike refused.

Pulled into a quantum storm, the Enterprise was attacked by the Klignon ship until an alternate Enterprise, populated entirely by mechanical lifeforms, saved them. The quantum energy then surged and transported Simon down to a forested planet. On the surface, Simon encountered an alternate James T. Kirk and an android version of Hikaru Sulu who both attempted to convince him to stand down to no avail. Simon was then stunned from behind by Pavlovna Chekov and left behind as the other three explored their surroundings. (TOS - Boldly Go comic: "Issue 14")
