He's missing one nonepic feat. I count only six that are not bonus feats, and he should have seven. I think he still gets one more epic feat as well, but I may have miscalculated.
For weight, a mountain giant is 40 feet tall and weighs nearly 50,000 pounds. Elder titans stand 75 feet tall or more, and weigh close to 400,000 pounds. The tarrasque is 70 feet long and 50 feet tall, and it weighs about 260,000 pounds. So maybe for 225,000 pounds for 50 foot Atlas (who is as tall as the tarrasque, but lacks the extra legs and body)?
For the feat of strength ability, maybe +20 bonus and usable 5/day?

COMBAT
CRONUS (former ruler of the gods and greater titans)
CLERIC/DRUID: 25th level cleric
FIGHTER: 17th level fighter
Cronus appears as a handsome giant. He shape changes at will, and at the beginning of any battle, he hurls lava balls (created out of thin air) up to a maximum range of 200 yards, each doing 4-40 points of damage per strike. His sickle of adamant strikes as a +5 weapon for 5-50 points of damage.
Originally found in the first edition Deities and Demigods (1980, James M. Ward and Robert J. Kuntz), and Legends and Lore (1990).
From Legends and Lore (2E):
Cronus (greater god)
The youngest of the Titans born to Uranus and Gaea, Cronus was the ambitious one who attacked his father and then assumed the throne to become ruler of the universe. However, when his mother Gaea prophesied that one of his children would overthrow him as he had his father, Cronus proved just as despotic as Uranus. As his wife, Rhea, gave birth to the Olympian gods, he seized them and swallowed them up. His plan might have worked, had Rhea not tricked him into swallowing a stone instead of her sixth child. This god, Zeus, eventually returned to lead the successful revolt against him. Because of his past actions, Cronus was imprisoned in Tartarus.
Role-playing Notes: Because Cronus remains penned in Tartarus, he is unable to influence events on earth except through his avatars. Therefore, at least one avatar is constantly moving about Greece, promising men great rewards in return for worshipping Cronus and turning their backs on the Olympian gods. On occasion, these avatars rise to a position of power in a polis, and the result is invariably war as the avatar attacks the power bases of Cronus’ rivals. Because of his imprisonment, Cronus cannot send omens or portents.
Statistics: AL le; WAL any evil; AoC sinister ambition; SY sickle.
Cronus’ Avatar (fighter 20)
Cronus’ avatar is an evil looking fighter with a gleam in his otherwise dark eyes. He often passes himself off as a human warrior with no claim to his divine status.
(stats omitted)
Special Att/Def: Although it is not magic, Cronus’ adamant sickle cuts through any material it touches, effectively lowering his opponents’ AC to a maximum of 5 (unless due strictly to Dexterity). Beings hit by the sickle must save versus death or lose whatever appendage it hits (DMs should determine this randomly or by decree based on the situation).

Check out the Phane from the ELH for some inspiration for this guy.
Suggested Spell-Like Abilities: time stop, temporal stasis, haste, slow, true strike, displacement, blur, safe time (epic spell), time duplicate (epic spell).
Weight: 750,000 lbs.? (See my thoughts on Atlas' weight above to see where I'm coming from).

well now, before we get too bogged down in the similarity between his name and "chrono", any greek scholars out there know the root of the name kronos/cronus/cronos? does his name have to do with time, or does it mean something else? going to do some of my own research on that as well...

"Cronus ("crow", also spelled Cronos and Kronos but not to be confused with Chronos)"
from: http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Cronus (where i also got the background info on Atlas from)
