Culled entries
editI removed the entries below per Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Lists, which states:
Lists of articles of which the disambiguated term forms only a part of the article title don't belong here. Disambiguation pages are not search indices. Do not add links that merely contain part of the page title (where there is no significant risk of confusion). See Wikipedia:List guideline for more on lists.
I am quite uninformed on many of the topics for which I removed entries; if any of them could reasonably be referred to, by a common user, using only the word "Legion," please place those specific entries back on the disambiguation page in the appropriate manner. (I'm including the category of each entry to make it easier to navigate this list, but I'm expecting to fully reorganize the page presently.)
