Editing SPOILER: When Powers go Wrong (section)

==Arthur==
He’s a speedster – speeding objects wreck stuff. Have an inordinate amount of collateral damage happen when he uses his powers. Make him roll skill checks to keep from destroying nearby things every time he zooms up. Maybe his time control isn’t just personal – it falls off with the square of the distance, so bystanders suddenly find different parts of their circulatory and nervous systems functioning at different speeds. Ouch.
that'd almost force him to watch his powers. He recently "ran" from DC to Seattle and back in 3-4 hours... I haven't discribed anything yet, I could rock to tell the PCs the news is reporting a series of collateral damage the creates almost a continuous line from DC to Seattle..... 
The thing with bystanders getting caught in his time functions could be interesting... Maybe along the corse of that distruction there's a series of people that now find themselves older or younger, cancers and diseases in remission or come on from nowhere... etc... Arthur can't turn his chronal power off; he tries to speed port somewhere and finds himself stuck in the in-between second he usually travels in. Meaning, when he moves with his power, time stops for him and he moves wherever he wants, boom, there he is. But now he does it and he's frozen in that moment; he's trapped in the world with no time, he can't interact with anyone or anything.
what if aurther accidentally drifts between time lines? think of it as schitzophrenia, in one world, he is married to Mandy, in the next Mandy and Brian are dating. He wouldn't know the difference until he tried to non-chalantly kiss Mandy on the cheek before saying goodbye. 
He starts aging or youthening rapidly. 
Things around his crumble into dust. 
I kinda like the idea someone mentioened of people along his path getting cancer and wierd stuff. 
Insomnia. His powers work when asleep and he he finds himself going to bed one minute and waking up the next. Or, his powers work backwards while asleep and he wakes up days later.
