===Back story===
Born to the [[Vulcan (Star Trek)|Vulcan]] [[Sarek]] ([[Mark Lenard]]) and the human [[Amanda Grayson]] ([[Jane Wyatt]]), Spock's backstory has been addressed during several episodes of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'', the 2009 film ''[[Star Trek (2009 film)|Star Trek]]'' and the ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]'' episode, ''[[Yesteryear (Star Trek: The Animated Series)|Yesteryear]]''. His mixed heritage led to a troubled childhood; full-blooded Vulcan children repeatedly bullied him on their home world to incite the emotions of his human nature.<ref name=st2009>{{cite AV media | last1=Orci|first1=Roberto|last2=Kurtzman|first2=Alex|last3=Abrams|first3=J.J.| date=April 7, 2009 | title=Star Trek | medium=Motion picture| publisher=Paramount Pictures}}</ref><ref name="newmoviefits">{{cite web|last1=Pascale|first1=Anthony|title=EXCLUSIVE: Bob Orci Explains How The New Star Trek Movie Fits With Trek Canon (and Real Science)|url=http://trekmovie.com/2008/12/11/bob-orci-explains-how-the-new-star-trek-movie-fits-with-trek-canon-and-real-science/|publisher=TrekMovie.com|access-date=August 17, 2016|date=December 11, 2008|archive-date=March 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150330153411/http://trekmovie.com/2008/12/11/bob-orci-explains-how-the-new-star-trek-movie-fits-with-trek-canon-and-real-science/|url-status=live}}</ref> For a time, he grew up alongside his older half-brother Sybok, until the older brother was cast out for rejecting logic.<ref name=stV>{{cite AV media | last1=Loughery|first1=David|last2=Shatner|first2=William|last3=Bennett|first3=Harve | date=June 9, 1989 | title=Star Trek V: The Final Frontier | medium=Motion picture| publisher=Paramount Pictures}}</ref> In ''[[Star Trek: Discovery]]'', it is revealed that Spock has a human, adopted sister, Michael Burnham.

===Season two and three===
[[File:Spock and T'Pring.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|Spock with [[T'Pring]]]]
During the premiere episode of the second season, "Amok Time", Spock begins to undergo [[pon farr]], the Vulcan blood fever, and must undergo a ritual mating in the next eight days or die. Kirk disobeys Starfleet orders and takes the ''Enterprise'' to the planet Vulcan so that Spock can undergo the mating ritual. When they arrive, he is reunited with T'Pring ([[Arlene Martel]]). She rather wishes to be with Stonn ([[Lawrence Montaigne]]), a full-blooded Vulcan. She demands the ritual kal-if-fee fight instead, and selects Kirk as her champion, who unknowingly agrees to a fight to the death with Spock. McCoy persuades [[T'Pau (Star Trek)|T'Pau]] ([[Celia Lovsky]]) to let him inject Kirk with something to alleviate the issues with Vulcan's thinner atmosphere and make the fight fair. The fight begins, and Spock gains the upper hand, garroting Kirk and killing him. McCoy orders an emergency transport directly to [[sickbay]], while Spock is told by T'Pring that it was all a game of logic which would let her be with Stonn no matter the outcome. No longer feeling the effects of the pon farr, Spock returns to the ''Enterprise'' where he discovers that McCoy had injected Kirk with a paralyzing agent which merely simulated death and that the Captain was still alive.<ref name="amoktime" />[[File:Spock and parents 1968.jpg|thumb|Spock with his parents, [[Sarek]] and Amanda|upright=1.0]]Over the course of the encounter with the ''Nomad'' [[space probe]] in "[[The Changeling (Star Trek: The Original Series)|The Changeling]]", Spock undertakes a mind meld with the machine.

Mirror-Spock is knocked unconscious, and is treated by McCoy while the others head to the transporter to attempt to return to their universe. Spock awakes and mind melds with McCoy to discover why Kirk did not have him killed. Discovering what took place, he agrees to help them return and as he mans the transporter controls, Kirk implores him to take control and save not only the ship but his Terran Empire from implosion at the hands of tyrants.

===''The Motion Picture'' and the film series===
At the beginning of ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]]'' (1979), Spock is no longer serving in Starfleet, having resigned and returned home to pursue the Vulcan discipline of [[Kolinahr]]. Unable to complete the Kolinahr ritual after he senses the coming of [[V'ger]], he rejoins Starfleet to aid the ''Enterprise'' crew in their mission.<ref name="Encyc" /> Spock is later promoted to captain, and is commanding officer of the ''Enterprise'' at the beginning of ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]'' (1982).<ref name="Encyc" /> At the film's end, he transfers his "[[Katra (Star Trek)|katra]]"&nbsp;– the sum of his memories and experience&nbsp;– to McCoy, and then sacrifices himself to save the ship and its crew from [[Khan Noonien Singh]] ([[Ricardo Montalbán]]).<ref name="Encyc" /> The sequel, ''[[Star Trek III: The Search for Spock]]'' (1984), focuses on his crewmates' quest to recover Spock's body, learning upon arrival that he has been resurrected by the Genesis matrix after landing on the planet at the end of the previous film. At the film's conclusion, Spock's revived body is reunited with his katra.<ref name="Encyc" /> Spock is next seen in ''[[Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home]]'' (1986), which depicts his recovery from the after-effects of his resurrection. After saving planet Earth with his comrades, Spock reconciles with his father who has reconsidered his opinion regarding Spock's life choices and his friends. In the film's final scene, he joins the crew of the newly commissioned [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)|USS ''Enterprise''-A]] under Kirk's command.<ref name="Encyc" /> In ''[[Star Trek V: The Final Frontier]]'' (1989), Spock and the ''Enterprise'' crew confront the renegade [[Sybok]], Spock's half-brother.<ref name="Encyc" /> ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]'' (1991) reunites the ''Enterprise'' crew on a mission to prevent war from erupting between the Federation and [[Klingon Empire]]. Spock serves as a special envoy to broker peace with the Klingons after a natural disaster devastates their homeworld.

===''Star Trek: The Next Generation''===
After a period during which the production team avoided mentioning some aspects of The Original Series,{{sfn |Reeves-Stevens|Reeves-Stevens| 1998| p=119}} Spock was mentioned by name in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' in the episode "[[Sarek (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Sarek]]" (1990).{{sfn |Nemecek| 2003| p=127}} Executive producer [[Michael Piller]] later described this one act as "the breakthrough which allowed us to open the doors, that allowed us to begin to embrace our past".{{sfn |Reeves-Stevens|Reeves-Stevens| 1998| p=119}}

Spock appears in "[[Unification (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Unification]]" (1991), a two-part episode of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. Set 75 years after the events of ''The Undiscovered Country'', the episode focuses on Federation Ambassador Spock's attempt to reunite the [[Romulan]]s with their Vulcan brethren. Filming of ''The Undiscovered Country'' overlapped with production of this episode, and the episode references Spock's role in the film. While Spock's initial unification campaign fails, he chooses to remain on Romulus in secret to help the movement.

He pilots an advanced starship equipped with red matter, a powerful substance able to create artificial [[black hole]]s. The mission is only partially successful, and in the aftermath, Spock is pursued into the [[Timeline of Star Trek|past]] by Nero ([[Eric Bana]]), a Romulan driven mad by the loss of his homeworld and family, setting into motion the events of the film.

In the film's opening act, Nero's ship emerges in the year 2233, and through its interaction with the inhabitants, inadvertently creates an "alternate, parallel 'Star Trek' universe".<ref name="bglobe1">{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/articles/2009/05/05/a_fresh_frontier/ |title=Star Trek |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |access-date=May 6, 2009 |date=May 5, 2009 |first=Ty |last=Burr |archive-date=January 30, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150130041629/http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/articles/2009/05/05/a_fresh_frontier/ |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="ewcover4">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20233502,00.html |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |title='Star Trek': New Movie, New Vision |access-date=January 21, 2009 |page=4 |first=Jeff |last=Jensen |date=October 18, 2008 |archive-date=November 4, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081104040237/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20233502,00.html |url-status=dead}}</ref> Twenty-five years later, in the new reality, Spock's ship emerges and Nero captures him and the red matter. Stranded in the alternate past, the [[Earth prime|prime version]] of Spock helps the [[Parallel universe (fiction)|alternate]], younger version of himself and Kirk ([[Zachary Quinto]] and [[Chris Pine]], respectively) thwart Nero's attempt to destroy the Federation.

The film also features [[Jacob Kogan]] in several scenes depicting Spock's childhood, including his abuse at the hands of other Vulcan children due to his half-Human heritage, and his relationship with his parents ([[Ben Cross]] and [[Winona Ryder]]). The film also depicts Kirk and Spock's initial clashes at Starfleet Academy, and the gradual development of their friendship based on shared mutual respect,<ref name="bglobe1" /> what the elder Spock calls "...{{nbsp}}a friendship that will define them both in ways they cannot yet realize."<ref name="2009film">{{Cite video | people = Abrams, J.J. (Director) | title=Star Trek | medium=Film | publisher=Paramount Pictures | location=United States | date=2009 }}</ref> A major change in characterization from the primary timeline is alternate Spock's involvement with alternate [[Uhura]] ([[Zoe Saldana]]), his former student. At the end of the film, the young Spock opts to remain in Starfleet while his older self stays in the altered universe to aid the few surviving Vulcan refugees, as Nero had destroyed Vulcan, Spock's home planet.

====''Star Trek Into Darkness'' (2013)====
{{main|Star Trek Into Darkness}}
In ''[[Star Trek Into Darkness]]'', Spock Prime is described as living on 'New Vulcan' while the younger Spock remains aboard the ''Enterprise'', struggling with the loss of his home world, as well as his relationships with [[Uhura]] and [[James T. Kirk]]. Spock nearly dies protecting a planet from an active volcano, but Kirk breaks the Prime Directive and saves him. Spock Prime is contacted by Spock on the ''Enterprise'', to find out details on Khan. Spock Prime initially reminds his alternate self that he will not interfere with the events in the alternate timeline. That being said, he then informs Spock that Khan was a dangerous man, and the greatest threat that the ''Enterprise'' ever faced in his own timeline, and warns that he is likely as dangerous in Spock's alternate timeline as well. When asked whether Khan was defeated, Spock Prime answers that he eventually was defeated, but at great cost (referring to the events of ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]''). When Kirk contracts radiation poisoning and dies in front of Spock (a transposed parallel of events in the prime timeline where Spock dies in front of Kirk), an enraged and vengeful Spock attempts to kill Khan to avenge Kirk before Uhura informs him that Khan's regenerative blood can revive Kirk. Nearly a year later, Spock remains as Kirk's chief science officer and executive officer as the ''Enterprise'' departs on its first five-year mission of deep-space exploration.

''Into Darkness'' would be Nimoy's final appearance as Spock Prime, as well as the last role of his career. He died in 2015, shortly before production began on ''[[Star Trek Beyond]]''.

====''Star Trek Beyond'' (2016)====
{{main|Star Trek Beyond}}
In ''[[Star Trek Beyond]]'', Spock receives word that Ambassador Spock (Spock Prime) has died. Impacted by this, Spock later tells McCoy that he intends to leave Starfleet to continue the ambassador's work on New Vulcan. At the end of the film, Spock receives a box containing some of Ambassador Spock's personal effects, and reflecting on a photograph of the older crew of the ''Enterprise'' from the series' original timeline, he chooses to remain in Starfleet.

===''Star Trek: Discovery''===
[[File:Ethan Peck by Gage Skidmore.jpg|thumb|[[Ethan Peck]] portrays Spock in ''[[Star Trek: Discovery]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Strange New Worlds]]''.]]
In August 2018, it was announced that [[Ethan Peck]] would join the cast of ''[[Star Trek: Discovery]]'' as Spock in the show's second season,<ref name="peckio9" /> portraying a Spock younger than both Nimoy's and Quinto's renditions of the character, as ''Discovery'' is set several years before the Original Series and Kelvin Timeline films.

As of his appearances on ''Discovery'', Spock is a Lieutenant, serving under Captain [[Christopher Pike (Star Trek)|Christopher Pike]] on the ''[[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|Enterprise]]''. Due to the trauma Spock suffered because of his visions of the "Red Angel", he is on leave from the ''Enterprise'' and under psychiatric care. His adopted sister [[Michael Burnham]] is attempting to help him recover.

The introduction to the second-season episode, "If Memory Serves", uses archival footage of Nimoy as Spock from the unaired pilot episode "The Cage", and the third-season episode "Unification III" uses archival footage of Nimoy again from the ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' episode "[[Unification (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Unification II]]". The latter appearance is a holographic recording from the records of Jean-Luc Picard, and is shown to Michael Burnham after she travels to the 31st Century, a time in which the Romulan and Vulcan peoples remember Ambassador Spock as the cause of their reunification on the planet Ni'Var, the newly renamed Vulcan.

===''Star Trek: Short Treks''===
In 2019, it was announced that the character Spock, as played by Peck would appear in two ''[[Star Trek: Short Treks]]'', along with Captain Pike.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/20/20702091/star-trek-discovery-short-treks-spock-number-one-comic-con-sdcc-2019|title=Star Trek: Short Treks are returning to CBS All Access this fall|last=Liptak|first=Andrew|date=July 20, 2019|website=The Verge|access-date=July 23, 2019|archive-date=July 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190723131116/https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/20/20702091/star-trek-discovery-short-treks-spock-number-one-comic-con-sdcc-2019|url-status=live}}</ref> He reprised the role in the episodes "Q&A" and "Ask Not".
