I can't decide on just one character. I liked the 80s incarnation of Meltdown (aka Boom-Boom, Boomer) because she was so completely saturated with 80s trends. Her power was the ability to create these little time bomb things that she could then throw or leave places to detonate with a fairly small explosive force. Other than that she was a very stereotypical teenager who just happened to have powers. Basically, she was Jubilee done right. :p Then they remade her into a mature non-80s character and I lost interest.
I also like Nightcrawler, but again an older rendition of him - back when he lead Excalibur. That was a fun comic. Everyone knows Nightcrawler, so no explanation needed. :p
Finally, I really like Multiple Man, aka Jamie Madrox. His power is creating duplicates of himself by using kinetic energy somehow... like, he claps his hands and another Jamie appears, who is able to act semi-independantly, but is ultimately controlled by the original guy. He was a member of X-Factor, and they came up with some really interesting uses for him. I wanted to find a picture online of one scene where a veritable wave of multiple men was washing over an enemy, but alas...
[edit]Oh, apparently this dude (Eric Dane) is playing Jamie in X3. Not bad appearance-wise, hope he's smartass enough for the role. :)[/edit]
