Ok, I have 2.
Name: The Fittest
Parents: Madrox & Life Guard
Story: No great story, this one's all about the powers. One of Madrox's many clones met Life Guard and they hooked up one night. Fluids were passed and a baby girl was born.
Powers: Whenever she is in danger or receives a certain amount of kinetic energy, clones of herself sprout off like Madrox's dupes. Unlike those dupes, each copy of the girl has a different adaptation for the current situation. After the danger is gone, a chemical trigger in the dupes (and original) drives them to fight each other. While the chemical is flowing through her body, she can't create new dupes, so when they fight no more versions of her are created. When there is only one left, that one becomes The Fittest and maintains whatever adaptation it had been created with while all others are lost. Basically she is an entire race in one person, ever evolving at a superfast rate.
Name: Tag Team (?)
Parents: Typhoid Mary & MYSTERY SPERM(!)
Story: After nine months as Typhoid and sometimes Bloody Mary (her crazier personalities) Mary Walker woke up pregnant. She didn't know where the baby came from, but she had one. She woke up just in time to give birth and abandon the baby at a hospital. The child, a cute baby boy named Max was put up for adoption and was taken in by a nice couple. When Max developed an imaginary friend named Buddy, his parents weren't alarmed. However, strange things started to happen around Max, like floating chairs and other horror movie type things. Max blamed it on his imaginary friend but his parents thought it was him. They didn't know what to do though, so they just made him hide it. When Max got a little older, "Buddy" began to do more than just move things. He started wandering far from Max and coming back with stories of what he'd seen. Max kept this a secret from his parents, but someone else knew. Professor X picked up the boys power signature with cerebro and visited his parents, convincing them to let him take the child. At the school, Xavier told Max what he was. He was a mutant, and one with powerful telekinetic abilities as well as clairvoyance. What's more, Max was crazy (thanks to his mom) and his "imaginary friend" was nothing more than a split personality that had control of his powers but not his body. When his powers had developed, his split personality, "Buddy" had been born to take command of his powers. The only thing Xavier didn't know was where he had gotten his psychic powers from. A DNA test at the school revealed his father to be none other than Cable. Apparently Typhoid Mary had somehow gotten a "donation" and been impregnated. Max was part of the legendary Summers clan!
Personalities: Max is a nice, easygoing and gifted young man. He likes the normal teen stuff and even with his weird life always has a optimistic view of things.
Buddy is a prankster and a rebel. The only person he listens to is Max, but everyone else is fair game. He's nowhere near as crazy as Typhoid Mary's personalities, but he is a little out there. He may seem childish, but he's actually very mature, he just hides it well. He's also very protective of Max and will use their powers to aid Max even if not asked to. Both he and Max understand that technically Max is insane and he doesn't exist, but they just refuse to accept it.
Powers: All of Max's powers express themselves through Buddy. Max himself has no powers. Buddy can manifest tremendous power, including upwards of class 50 "strength" (telekinesis), the ability to take any form of almost any size or dimension Max wants (more telekinesis), and the ability to travel around independent of Max and tell him what he sees (clairvoyance). Xavier has hinted that Buddy is really a limitation, and that Max could be far greater if he were to finally accept his friend's nonexistence, but for now that seems unlikely to happen.
The idea for this one actually came from the last page of one of my favorite X-Men trades (Day of the Atom).
The "imaginary friend" is actually another telepath (Cassandra Nova I think) talking to Carter.
I also once read something on another forum where a guy was suggesting character ideas and he said he wanted to see someone with an imaginary friend that could actually influence reality.
