Some of my ideas (working more off postboot characters since I know that era best; though a lot of the couple would have to have paired off just before Legion Lost or something?)
Garth and Imra's daughter, Candis Ranzz (Impulse as a tentative codename, but I can't think of anything better?) -- Shunned by both her parents' homeworlds. Winath didn't like it she was a single birth; Titan pities and fears her. Candis is virtually mindblind; she can receive telepathy, but her sending is so feeble that only the best telepaths can sense it. Most of her energy is channeled into manipulating the neuro-electrical signals of her targets. By dampening signals to the muscles she can paralyze a foe; blocking sensory nerves can strike a foe blind or deaf. She can also overload nerves, but this is a last resort as she can cause nerve/brain damage... possibly fatal. Candis gets along best with Uncle Mekt and his kids; she thinks they understand her plight better than her parents do. She's quiet and reserved; thinks people blame her for things even when she's done nothing wrong. Red-haired with streaks of blonde; blue eyes.

Matrix (Justyn Ranzz) & Virus (Sharyl Ranzz) -- Since Salu's powers were changed by the Emerald Eye so that she grew instead of shrinking, that effectively barred her from Imsk; her family was too horrified of her to continue communications. So she'd visited with the other Legionnaires' families instead -- usually, it was a poor substitute. That was until she visited Winath with the Ranzzes; they had just gotten Mekt back on parole due to his helping save Garth during the latter's prison visit.
In Mekt, Salu found something of a kindred soul; they were both outside the norm for their worlds, both of them feared for the evil they'd done and the consequences. They grew closer and finally fell in love and got married. To Mekt's surprise, she bore him twins: he figured that the "curse" would pass down and mean he'd only sire singletons. Both siblings have dark auburn hair and purple eyes; they're fairly short for their age, though not to Salu's extreme. Their powers are likewise shared; they can shrink (but only to a centimeter height) and can manipulate electricity. Sharyl uses her powers to manipulate computer and security systems; "Uncle Lyle" has been her tutor in this (though he's made it clear she's only to do this for the greater good and not for her own profit!). Justin prefers to "link in" with vehicles, and is an excellent pilot even without this extra edge; if it wasn't for being called to the LSH, he could have been on the racing circuit.

Polymath 2 (Kamil Dox) -- ColuGov went behind Querl's back and declared him a "failed experiment". They decanted another Coluan from the DNA used to bioengineer Querl, and thus produced Brainiac 6 -- although they manipulated him prenatally to eliminate the "defects" that had given Querl his emotional aspects.
Horrified and disgusted by this, Querl turned his back on Colu entirely and took the new codename Polymath. He cloned himself (as the DNA sequence that resulted in the 12th-level intellect was too recessive for his purposes), and has raised his son fairly well. While Kamil doesn't show much emotion usually, he at least is free from the sneering that Querl usually exhibited.

Candis is a great character! I was thinking shince she affects nerves, something like 'Synapes' might work.
Matrix and Virus are fun, too! The car idea is so, guyish! He should race, too, even if he IS a Legionnaire. I've always felt that the Legion's members should have more balanced lives. I remember how surprising it was when we saw Tasmia playing a violin. (She made shadow sculptures postboot.)
Maybe he could do exibition runs or vid/utube entertainment racing?
Polymath 2 is a great name. Do you even watch 'NUMB3RS'? Wouldn't it be kind of neat if Kamil was interested in the same kind of math used to solve crimes? Sort of like a Data Holmes or something.
Just stream of consciousness ideas from what you wrote. Thanks!

Big Boy and Crown Jewel are way good, SK! CatDog is funny, too, but it reminds me of the CatDog cartoon, which makes it even funnier, but also kind of eyuckkky!
