Legion: 11 Questions Left By The Weirdest Marvel TV Show Ever
7. What Does The Title Even Mean?
This might seem like a dumb question to anyone who has read the comic book adventures of David Haller. Obviously the title Legion refers to the character's superhero codename, derived from the fact that he has various different personalities. In the world of the TV show, however, David's powers have been portrayed so differently that the title doesn't make sense anymore.
In the comics, David has varying mutant powers, depending on whatever personality takes over at that time. For whatever reason - perhaps to avoid similarities with M Night Shyamalan's Split? - this was changed in the TV show so that David and the Shadow King are the only competing personalities. That's hardly a legion, is it?
Seeing as that explanation is off the table, then, perhaps Legion refers to David's myriad powers instead? Maybe we'll find out for sure in season 2...
