Looks completely human with a slight green complexion. Spock: Half-human, half-Vulcan. Looks and acts Vulcan but has heightened emotional responses due to human heritage.The Doctor: Half-human, Half-Time lord*. The 8th Doctor looks and acts like a time-lord except for human retinas. (granted, time lords look human on first blush, but he kept the bicirculatory system of a time lord)None of those characters had mixed genetic elements, only minor cosmetic or personality changes. A species which does not overwhelming favor one parent is pretty rare in fiction, but if you know of any, I'm interested. * Obviously, this a controversial and convoluted bit of lore. But at the time when it was in continuity, it fit the pattern.</blockquote>
