Regarding MCU temperature values

Mark VI Iron Man's lasers have an energy output of 200 petawatts. After doing some research on Google, I found out that this corresponds to a temperature of approximately 10 billion degrees (600 times hotter than the Sun’s core). According to the study titled “Powerful laser is ‘brightest light in the universe’” published in the science journal New Scientist, high-power laser pulses instantly heat targets such as aluminum to millions of degrees Celsius and generate a pressure 1 billion times that of sea-level pressure on Earth. According to the article “Physicists are planning to build lasers so powerful they could rip apart empty space,” published in Science, the goal is to “tear apart the vacuum” and directly produce matter (electron-positron pairs) from energy by leveraging the extreme temperatures and densities reached as power levels increase (in theoretical plans involving hundreds of petawatts).

The Mark 7 Iron Man's lasers are more advanced than those of the Mark 6. While the Mark 6 can fire a single shot, the Mark 7 can fire continuously by drawing power from its arc reactor. However, even that cannot cause any damage to Leviathan's armor. In this scene, Thor is seen inflicting heavy damage on Leviathan with his lightning bolts, leaving burn marks on it and destroying it. This would mean that Thor’s lightning bolts are much, much, much hotter than ordinary lightning. It would also significantly increase Vibranium’s heat resistance, because in addition to Thor’s lightning, a beam from the Mind Stone and Iron Man’s repulsor beams were barely enough to melt it and of course it will also affect the characters who have withstood on Thor’s lightning

What do you think about this?

Main issue with such a high value is that we have multiple lower ceiling:
  • Lightning melts Iron Man's armor
  • Extermis Virus people who are 3,000 C can easily melt through and tear apart Iron Man suits
  • Thor was burned by a star beam that's like 50,000K
The beams being that hot just isn't supported by an in-universe figure.

Even during the initial research it seemed more likely that it was a hyperbole phenomenon.
