Quick analysis of his magic here: MC used some form of lightning manipulation. Lightning, to keep it simple, is a flow of electrons. Manipulating it allows you to move electrons at light speed. If he's moving the electrons of his own body, his body's protons and therefore nuclei would follow because of the magnetic pull the electrons and protons have on each other, thus enabling him to move at light speed. Furthermore, an object moving at light speed experiences no temporal effects at all, meaning that to him, time is essentially frozen. That is, however, only important, if he were to face an opponent with an identical degree of speed, as neither could see each other mowe in that hypothetical scenario.
TL;DR: True lightning manipulation lets you essentially teleport.
