Noonien Soong Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
In the fictional ' universe, Dr. Noonien Soong''' (played by Brent Spiner) is a cyberneticist who lived on the colony Omicron Theta for several years, where he created six androids with positronic brains, the last two being Lore and Data, both of whom were also played by Spiner - the clear implication is that Soong modeled the androids' forms after his younger self.Early in Dr. Soong's career he was widely hailed as Earth's foremost robotic scientist. He claimed he could make Isaac Asimov's dream of a positronic brain come true and set about trying to do exactly that. By all accounts he failed miserably and largely disappeared from academic and scientific circles shortly thereafter. (Learned in the episode Datalore)
In 2328, Dr. Soong married Dr. Juliana O'Donnell, also a cyberneticist, who died shortly after the Crystalline entity attack on the colony, but most of her memories remain inside an android created by Dr. Soong. He was presumed dead himself, but was discovered to be alive in 2367. He died soon on stardate 44085.7 on Terlina III, where he built his last laboratory.
Although Dr. Noonien Soong's ancestry is not explicitly stated in the canon, his name is East Asian, either Chinese or Korean. Soong is a popular Chinese surname (宋) and Korean surname (송).
Some of the O'Donnell android's memories were fragmentary, such as the death of Dr. Soong and her creation as an android. Dr. O'Donnell later remarried to Dr. Pran Tainer of Atrea IV, where Data discovered that O'Donnell is his creation mother (since Data's memories were erased during the Crystalline entity attack).
In the fourth season of the television series , Soong's forefather, Dr. Arik Soong, plays a criminal mastermind in a three episode arc ("", "Cold Station 12", and "The Augments").
Soong is not to be confused with Khan Noonien Singh, the infamous "selectively bred" human of the late 1990s: there is no canonical link between the two, other than the similarity of names. They are in fact both named after a man named Kim Noonien Singh who Gene Roddenberry knew during World War 2. In 2004, the series ' established that an ancestor of Noonien Soong, Dr. Arik Soong''' (also played by Brent Spiner), attempted to continue the work of Khan in the mid-22nd Century.
