Did Kahn ever demonstrate superhuman intelligence? He and his men apparently have the ability to learn how to fly space ships 3 centuries newer than they are, like they don’t seem to have trouble flying Reliant around, but they did have Captain Terrell and Commander Chekov as brainslugged captives.
Kahn didn’t pick up on that painfully simple “hours may seem like days” code, for example.
Space Seed is the same way. Khan is presented to us, the viewers, as a superior form of human, mentally and physically, but the episode itself doesn’t really show that.
