Nah
A paradox would infer direct time travel , he'd mostly use it to pause time or possibly rewind time (wherein the paradox idea could be used) as well as age things to dust ect.

Okay, so what if he pauses time in a 5 - foot circle around him, but then starts it up again, he finds himself and everything in 5 feet around him floating off in space, since the earth continued revolving around the sun while the part he froze stood still.

Possibly.
To be quite honest I had mostly got the time guy sorted out, it was only the electricity one I really need ed help on.
I'd constructed a scene wherein the Time guy needs to stop a group of robbers within a bank , but over stretches himself. causing himself internal injuries through holding the entire bank (not just a room) in time for 5 minutes.
For the electricity guy you could create a problem from the moving of charge (ie he uses the electrons from around him to shoot lightning at a guy but then the who area gains a strong positive charge)
With that he would gain both a disadvantage (can't use his powers in a storm, can't hide himself and use his powers) and also an manner of sneak attack if he's smart.

Strong positive charge ?
Interesting....
Anything to do with static , any adverse affects upon the real world ? (setting off Car Alarms , PC's ect ?

I'm pretty sure he would have to effect the surrounding areas charge any way, otherwise he wouldn't be able to manipulate electricity in the first place. 😕

Well if you take all the a lot of negative charge away from an area then all surrounding negative charge will head for it.
So it would pull in lightning, energy blasts and probably screw up all manner of different things.

This bank robbing scene (as well as a potential montage scene) are starting too look up.
All in all i;m trying to create consistent continuity with cool feats.

Energywise, some powers seem "cheaper" than others. For 100 kilowatts (eg, the power to move a car at 40mph), you can have the strength of 1000 men. Superspeed requires megawattage; and durability is the most expensive of your basic powerset: to withstand the explosive force of only 1 ton of TNT, you need 4.2 gigawatts.To withstand 1 megaton, you'd need 4200 terawatts (that's ten times the power of the Hiroshima bomb). 😖mart:
My guess would be, by the time we have the technology to generate this kind of power on a personal level, we'd probably be beyond suits. More like nanotech beings.
With a smaller, power source that generates large energy sources you can stream line a number of components upon the suit. Adding minor hydraulic exoskeleton would greatly increase strength while not having to tap a large amount of the power source.
The problem is the energy source would have to be very small.

In the bible there is super speed, super strength, super wisdom, a man who parted the red sea and made a rock give water....
I'm sure a biblical reason could be extrapolated to give someone powers.
