    because she owns XP lol nah. i think she got it during the transformation. like the zerg stole some protoss technology maybe. or they used their own technology and she got it. she also had some ability as a terran i think. was it that she was able to read minds? i thought she had telepathy. i not really sure how she got it. i think it explained it in the campaign.

    Kerrigan was a ghost, after all. She had elevated psychic abilities that were being 'shut off' by the Terran Ghost Program. Whenever she was transformed by the Zerg Overmind, all the restrictions on her true power were released, and bam! Infested Terran Pyschic Kerrigan.

    I think it has something to do with the fact that she's a very powerful ghost, and also because she was mutated horribly for a very long time.

    Technically they weren't released when she was infested. If you remember in sc1 original theres a mission during the zerg storyline where you infiltrate a terran sci vessel so that she can find out how to shut off the barriers that they placed in her mind as a ghost to prevent her from becoming "to powerful".

    SHe probably seduced a toss high templar into teaching her but by the time he realized he had no sexual apendages it was too late, poor templar

    Maybe the Zerg used some "Protoss stuff" to infest her or something. Thats why me thinks. :)

    brc9210's answer earlier on is the best one. Kerrigan reached her full potential psionic powers when he infiltrated a Terran Science Vessel and recovered the secrets of the Confederate's abandoned Ghost Projects.

    well, maybe since Kerrigen was a ghost. ghosts also has this psi abilities like the protoss only the terran had to control it. maybe when she was maturing in her cocoon, she managed to fully manifest her power.

    George Washington FTW!!

    Anyhoo, Seung Mina and Tira are the babes. Ivy is just a whore. Sorry.



    And I think that Kerrigan's powers were unlocked during the transformation to Zerg. She gained a crapload of strength physically, why not psionically too? And since it's a communal mind type thing with the Zerg, any Zerg that knew how to psionic storm would impart the knowledge to the Queen of Blades

    Yeah wasnt she like, an uber ghost due to experiments with the Zerg and her by the Confederates? Her psionic powers were through the roof if she unlocked the barrier blocking them, on top of the 10 fold increase in all types of strength and abilities she got by being infested, I think Psi Storm is reasonable.

    Now, blizz probably WAS a little lazy, but if Kerrigan utilized Psionics, wouldn't Psi Storm be the best choice anyways?

    I always thought it was gay that kerrigan had psi storm, it would have been better if they gave her another ability because even the most powerful human psykers shouldn't be comparable to high templar.

    I think they just gave it to her because she was a melee hero, but melee units tend to horrybly die and its hard to keep them safe, specially if they are surrounded by a swarm of lings and they cant escape. So they decided to give it to her to make her more useful. I think its cool, cos she kind of stays behind her attacking broods giving support. I think its nice also because she has 4 abilities, one of each other race and 2 zerg ones. And almost all of them are complementary.
