(As an aside, it's another reason I'm against alicorn Twi. It 'elevates' her above her friends. -grumble-)
Me neither, but it's a fucking awful title. Something that happens a lot with me (and other writers, I'm sure) is that you subconsciously substitute synonyms or near-synonyms just to see if the meaning and coolness factor are preserved. "Queen of Swords"...no, no not really.
"I am legion" is about the same as saying "I am many". Kerrigan's "I am the swarm" is no doubt the Overmind thing, but it gets on my nerves because unlike Legion, she's in a position of undeniable superiority over her minions.
