Florida, being strong doesn't make someone a Gary Stu. It's when they succeed in all of there plans and gets new skills just to serve the plot. Mal's superstrength is an established power, that he used to break everyones things and how he beat up Izzy, so it's not used as plot device like how most of Alejandro's skills were being used during TDWT.
