Forget about any complex stuff. Think of this as a Proportion.
More Good/Bad things for your Character = More things to explain and to connect.
With this simple identity, all you have to keep a straight record of is if everything you're giving or taking from your character is in perfect balance. The least distance you have from the balance, the better your character will look like.
i.e:
Character A has Super Strength, Super Speed and has Telepathy. He was reborn as a super-human with all of that due to being exposed to various accidents in his life which were related to experiments on the human genome.
You don't even have to note any cons. That thing is roughly what I'd call decent.
Character B can Teleport at will, can reshape himself, can reshape matter, can control the elements and is able to jump into space and float around without suffering a horrible death. He's that awesome because he endured training at some random temple with an equally awesome teacher. <- Bogus.
Out of i.e:
Your character really can be anything and have as many powers and/or attacks as you want, but you needn't forget that the more you use is the more you gotta give.
