Here's one that's I've created for a Legion fanfic I've been working on. Though I do have a name for him, I'd love to see what others come up with for him.
Born on Kubarico, an arid world (think Dune) settled by colonists during the 12th Moorish Dynasty in the late 27th Century...with population centers only at the poles. His parents were gemologists who discover a previously unknown black gem (later named the Death Jewel)which turns out to refract light into irridium, a highly toxic radiant. Both parents are exposed to lethal levels of radiation during their return trip back to their home with their discovery.
Dad dies a few weeks later and mom dies during childbirth. J'wan is raised by a grandfather. When J'wan is a young teen, a bump begins growing on his forehead and soon a miniature version of what looks like a Death Jewel breaks through the skin. Medical experts attempt removal unsuccessfully but determine that it is not toxic.
Shortly thereafter, J'wan discovers that he can control the refracted light rays that bounce off the gem. Different rays give him various abilities including mind control, protective shielding, illusion casting, and low level energy blasting.
What would you name him?

And in the why should the girls have all the fun department.
Marine sargeant Joe Brown is socked with an alien ray that grants various super-powers to individuals. At first it seemed not to give him any powers. But later when he was captured by terrorists and his hair began to grow out, his power was revealed to be super-strong telekinetically controlled hair (ala Spider Girl and Medusa) So what should his code name be?

...I can't think of anything...but trying to come up with a name for her gave me an idea for a new one.
On a distant world of snake people, regular humans began to intergrate. One man, fell in love with one of the snake people women. They had a daughter, who was named Syvetha. She looked much like a human, except she had a long scaly tail, blood red snake eyes, and a long forked tongue. She has the ability to switch from normal, white light vision, to infer red, snake vision. She has also learned to use her powerful as a powerful and dangerous weapon and can speak to serpents, as all of her people can.
I have some ideas that are pretty good but I wanna see what you guys come up with.

Well for Vee's hero, the name of Celsius was used in the 70's Doom Patrol for a similar character. But taking a cue from a Legion Worlder who hasn't been here for a while, I'd call her Icefyre. (Icyhot would be too much of product placement )
As for Copycat Girl's heroine ... let's see... She goes by the codename Cleopatra.
And a new hero to name:
Josh Durgan has acquired the following items taken off of captured super-villians of Gotham City: A helicopter umbrella from the Penguin, the fireproof suit & flame throwers from Firefly, Mr. Freeze's freeze gun, and Joker's squirting flower (this time squirting a deluted and non-lethal version of Joker Gas)

Since all the items are claimed from others I would call him The Collector.
NEXT: Serge Casale was a mutant able to turn himself into any form of liquid. While in this form he takes on the properties of the liquid he becomes.

Alistair Smythe was super polite. And he found that if he asked people to do things politely enough, they would do it without objection. For example, he once asked Reginald Van Owens to go jump in a lake, and Reggie did it. However, when he told Lady Penelope Fortaque to jump off a cliff, she was able to refuse to do so.
