Lore’s Legacy of Evil in the Star Trek Franchise, explained
Lore is Star Trek Greatest nihilist
Lore was front and center at IDW Star Trek Comics line since the earliest days of the “God War.” Lor was previously dismantled and stored in a Section 31 facility. He was freed, raised, and set to fight against Kohles, who slaughtered the gods of the world. Lore, while useful in stopping Kahless, seized his technology. Recruiting Kahless’s first followers in the Red Way, Lore will not stop until he is a god, and the universe lies in waste before him. Lore sought the pleroma, the gathering place of the gods, but for nefarious reasons.
As seen in “The Last Masterpiece”, destroying all creation is not enough for Lore: he needs to remake it in his image.
When you reach the Pleroma, Lore unveils his final, destructive gambit. Using the Orb of Destruction, created by the Bajoran Prophets, Lore finishes what Kahless started, killing gods such as Trelane and Charlie Evans, before destroying the universe. As seen in “The Last Masterpiece”, destroying all creation is not enough for Lore: he needs to remake it in his image. Fans see the various attempts Lore and Data make, and none of them are to Lore’s liking. Lore is excited with Data’s “boring” creations, giving the impression that it’s do or die for Data.
Lore’s version of the “infinity snap” outdid Thanos
Lore’s desire to destroy and kill transcends even Thanos
Lore’s final attempt to recreate the universe is followed by Star Trek Version of the “Infinity Snap.” The Mad Titan Thanos, seeking to bring balance to the universe, assembles the Infinity Gauntlet. Composed of the six Infinity Stones, the Gauntlet was one of the most powerful objects in the universe, and when Thanos decided to use it, he snapped his fingers. In the blink of an eye, half of the world’s population was wiped out. in both The Infinity Gauntlet And Avengers: Infinity War, The snap was a chilling and unforgettable moment.
and now, Star Trek has its own version, courtesy of Lore. While Lore doesn’t have an Infinity Gauntlet, he does have the Orb of Destruction, which is arguably in the same class as the Gauntlet. Lore does not share Thanos’ concerns with scale, instead refusing to indulge his nihilistic desires to kill and destroy. Although Thanos’ measures were extreme, there was at least a justifiable reason for them, but nothing of the sort exists with Lore. Lore is evil incarnate in the Star Trek universe, and his version of ​​the “Infinity Snap” manages to outdo Thanos.
