Depends on how you define the "direct connection", but here are the ones I know:

X: The technology that created him came entirely from his father; the bad guys were after it though.

Amazon: His power-source was given to him so he could protect it from the evil organization

Super-1: As has been mentioned already, his powers were made for space exploration.

J: Is given power by the Earth Spirits to fight against the alien invaders.

Agito, you mentioned that one yourself.

Blade: Maybe? Maybe not? The cards are technically the bad guys?

Hibiki: He's just a demon; he didn’t really gain his power from anyone.

Den-O: Uses a system that incorporates Imagin but wasn't developed by them so I think he counts.

And with Phase II... wow, there's not a lot here, huh? Maybe Ex-Aid? Zi-O, kind of? I haven’t watched Fourze so I can’t say if his switches are connected to the baddies somehow. Wizard uses magic stones sometimes given by the evil guy but magic isn’t inherently evil so him too?

Zero-One counts though, the Progrise Keys were made to counter the Ark.
