I don't think that's a coincidence; both are from other planets and both are 
rather evil[tm].  Kodos the Executioner, arguably human, became a dictator 
who had thousands killed (by his own account, not to let the rest die of 
hunger); Kodos the slimy extra-terrestrial is a conqueror (and he likes to 
zap humans as well ;-))

[BTW, Tarsus IV, a planet where thousands (would) have died of hunger and 
have died in executions was probably yet another hidden Star Trek euphemism.  
I have found out that Tarsus is, among other things, the name of a 
collection of bones in the human foot next to the heel.  Bones as a 
reference to death aside, see also Achilles for the heel.  But I'm only 
speculating here.]
