I'm not saying that MC in his current state can rival a level 5. In fact I think that he doesn't stand a chance. I'm comparing skill sets and potential. The narrator lets us know who are the most powerful beings from the the known rooster, and Malik currently is second in power behind Bernhardt. I'm not even trying to dispute that.I don't think that if it comes down to it we have a chance against any of the level 5s. Especially the ones at the top. As we saw Ella vs Duncan, pure power can just overrun a weaker superhuman. There's nothing saying how Malik targets his powers. He did instantly reduce Ella to ash in his first attack and Burning Tower covered an an enormous area if you consider that Goliath is wider than 2 mountain ranges and tall enough to appear to touch clouds (in theory that's at least a 500 feet). If its a pure 1 v 1, he could just do his best supernova impression and wipe everything; especially if the attack Nyx stopped his from using uses Plank temp. We're still small potatoes against them
Planck Temp may sound beyond impressive from a physics standpoint, but for superhumans it's about power levels. His Core Heat ability generated "infinite" heat. So much energy that it warped reality and caused observable gravity. Frankly I can't even imagine what would be able to withstand such power. Certainly the material of Ella's body isn't good enough as demonstrated multiple times. Despite that, she resisted him, and the only explanation I can think of is because she can express her power in a way that it becomes a supernatural contest.
The possibility of reaching Planck Temp also opens other possibilities, like compressing matter to a black hole for which MC has shown some aptitude. And if Lisa is correct and Bernhardt is stronger, I wonder what he can do.
