Does Kerrigan posses the strength to run the swarm?

well like the overmind did i think she is directing the evolution but still.. even if she modifie eggs i attemp it take a little more time

 

kerrigan will never be up to the challenge even if there is still one living cerebrate it will do her no good in the long run

 

Kerrigan doesn't direct evolution by herself. She leaves that to the queen, which was responsible for the evolution of units like the baneling.

With that kind of track record, I don't think zerg evolution is at all weakened by the loss of the Overmind.

Also, Kerrigan can see through and control all zerg (as seen through the book Shadow Hunters). Psionics is not dependent on "brain size" or "cranial capacity", especially since Kerrigan cheats and uses the zerg's secret control code.

 

Was the Overmind ever psionic (whatever that is)? Because he needed Kerrigan and the humans to get psionic people to fight the Protoss. If anyone know because I'm just guessing maybe the control of the Zergs by the Cerebrets was more on a basic level. It might be so simply that the Cerebrets produce different smells to control them like ants do, thus when a Cerebrete dies another can't just "psionicly" control his Zergs because they don't recognize the smell. Then, now Kerrigan controls all the Zergs with her psionic abilities, which is pretty easy since they're as dumb as ants. They even come running across entire planets when someone walks around with a normal artificial psi-emitter

 

The link shared by the zerg was psychic. The Overmind was created by the xel'naga, which is how it got psychic powers. However, the Overmind seemed unable to just create new genes from scratch (or even rewrite parts of genes), instead needing to steal genes from other species and then do limited modifications to those.

The zerg psychic link has been confirmed from so many sources, including Brood War itself (how does a Psi Disrupter interfere with smell?). It's definitely psionic in nature.

I wonder, do psi emitters even work anymore? We've only seen it used before Kerrigan was captured, and against uncontrolled (therefore "dumb") zerg. (Please recall that higher ranking zerg breeds are intelligent, and can tell the dumb ones to sit.)

 

In the same way Psi Emitters don't send odours across planets. I was working under the premise (read forgot about Brood Wars) that the Psi Disruptor didn't disrupt the Zerg's links with each other but merely "psionicly" disrupts their connection, possibly sense of smell if that would've been the "connection". In much the same way the Psi Emitters psionicly lure Zergs to them, remember Kerrigan could again "psionicly" lure Jim Raynor to Char during the first Zerg missions by giving him dreams. Giving a small Zerg a sense of smelling something is no big deal, Kerrigan with her powers can easily stink up the place. Anyway, it doesn't matter now

If the Overminrd is psionic I would say the Psi Emitters are useless. I understood it as such that the Overmind felt the call of the Psi Emitters and sent his swarm towards it thinking it was a ghost, or simply understood if the humans could produce Psi Emitters they would have psionic people. If someone turned on a Psi Emitter in SC2 I think they would just get a angry call from Kerrigan

 

In Shadow Hunters, Kerrigan sent a zerg force to investigate a psionic disturbance at Dead Man's Rock (and did something even earlier in Shadow of the Xel'Naga). In the latter case, she temporarily lost control of some zerg, but they weren't able to travel to the affected planet in question... at least not until she regained control and sent them in an organized fashion.
