No, that's about it. Paradox is, as Odin put it, the controlling persona for the whole hive-mind. Basically, when by their powers combined they are Captain Planet the Guardian, Paradox forms the head -- he's the one that gets the ultimate powerup -- because he's the only Celestial in the entire bunch, as a result of the initial attempt to Ascend him.
That's important -- he's the only Celestial. Like Legion's many selves, everyone else is more or less a normal mortal (even such borderline cases as Alena and the Matrix Paradox), and except for their awareness of their collective identity are no different than they were before the Self-Assembly. As Chris notes, they can, in moments of dire need, draw on the collective self's power -- but they can't hold onto it afterwards. Because they're not divine.
