SPOCK

Spock is the ever popular character from Star Trek. He was created to be the ying to Captain Kirk’s yang. But imagine if Leonard Nimoy hadn’t taken the role. Well, he almost didn’t because in the pilot episode, Spock was originally a woman. Her name is #number 1 and is Spock in everything is but without the name. Too bad the pilot was rejected by NBC, but a lot of elements did make it into the finalized series. The very first show didn’t have a heavy female presence among the crew, but Star Trek: The Next Generation and other shows after it made good on giving woman bigger roles.
