[[WMG: Dr. Impossible didn't give Corefire his powers.  Corefire already had his powers, and they are what saved him from Dr. Impossible's experiment.]]
Dr. Impossible has been seen to be a fairly unreliable narrator, and tends to skew previous events based on his own perspective.  He regards Corefire as a dumb jock, but if Corefire was in the same high level classes as Dr. Impossible then he couldn't be as dumb as Impossible believes.  In addition, he believed that Corefire clearly remembered him, but during their final confrontation Corefire had no idea who Impossible was (do you remember everyone from college?).  And he clearly didn't recognize Lily as his constant abductee (who's own backstory is questionable at best).  This shows that Impossible's and many others recollections of the past can't be fully trusted.  In addition, it was stated that any attempt to recreate the experiment that gave Corefire his abilities failed utterly.  Which means it might not have been random chance that allowed the energy beam to grant Corefire his powers.  Corefire might have had his powers long before the accident, and Dr. Impossible wrongly attributes that event as the period which gave Corefire his abilities.  But since he obviously thinks he's far more important to Corefire's personal life than he actually is, this simply would continue that theme.

* I came here to post a very similar theory to this.  I really thought this was where the plot was headed.  In my WMG Jason was the "real" one and Dr. Impossible was the part of his psyche that was ashamed of his own popularity.  The nerdy core that just wanted to be left alone to perform science and was constantly being interupted by Jason's popularity.  The Zeta Beam split Dr. Impossible with his intelligence off from Jason.  Remember, Jason's supposed to be smart in highschool and college, but later he seems pretty dumb.  Somehow he can't remember that Dr. Impossible would know Erica from all the times he's kidnapped her.  Additionally he just can't remember this kid he supposedly went to highschool and college with, and even talked to on occasion.  This makes sense if that kid was the smart part of his mind, made into a seperate person by the Zeta Beam.  Also explains why no one can trace Dr. Impossible's origin.  I suspect Erica either knows they were originally the same person, or else was manifested in the same accident, previously having been a fantasy perfect girl in Jason's mind.
