Assuming his regeneration/healing requires concsious direction/guidance to deal with this kind of damage, even for only a portion of the total process, he'd need to stretch his awareness of the damage and scale of it according to how much exposure he's had. Aberrant cell mutations and defective replication are likely to interfere to varying degrees or possibly even be exacerbated by the regenerative process.
Given the MC doesn't have the same kinds of knowledge or experience as Xanthe or even Ella when it comes to dealing with new (to him) kinds of dangerous biological interactions and effects, it's likely he'll waste time having his body fight back in the wrong way at first.
That kind of mistake could lead to having to rewrite/repair genetic and cell damage in sections or possibly even just hack the worst effected parts off/out and make repairs like he was regrowing parts instead.
I think you're thinking of his power the wrong way.
It is explicitly not 'regeneration/healing' like Deadpool or Wolverine, but the result of his shapeshifting returning his body to the form he wants.
He explicitly does not need conscious thought to return to his default form, and while he does need conscious thought for his transformations, if he has a template it's more just "I want to turn into this" rather than arranging all the atoms correctly as Ella apparently does.

So, based on what you've said, it seems like he'd have no problem with radiation.
Although I believe it is also explicitly stated (during one of their spars in H.E.R.O.) that Michael's radiation damage does slow his 'healing', so who knows.

I would actually argue that the MC can, as of his third evo, repair damage to his DNA. Because memory is about more than just DNA, its about structure and connections, whether it's genetic, or cognitive, or conceptual. His excursions into the other world I feel allow him to regenerate even from broken DNA strands. Not very well, and would likely take a while to fully heal, but I would say he could do it.
I mean, MC already did healed from things comparable to that even prior to his third evo, just not consciously. His power fixes things on atomic level for him all due to the whole "superhumans powers work on instinct to protect the superhuman", like fire and acid destroying cells to the point of elements and their basic compounds, which MC just morphs back into cells, even if more straining than cell on cell basis. If I recall correctly (don't quote me on that) one of the heads of Deryl's big chimera form was a source of radiation which poisoned him, and he pulled through, so yeah.

In that case, radiation damage can be a probelm for the MC, and depending on the amount of absorbtion and the duration, could range from as little as a minor impedement and possibly as far as killing him with extreme exposure in a short span of time. :unsure:
Currently, at least.

I'm not so sure, because Michael's radiation isn't equal to normal radiation. Firstly, it is radiation that comes from Power, which will, inevitably, sap and hinder the effectiveness of powers. Secondly, monster power in general has been shown to hinder MC's abilities; a semi-recent example being Cole heating MC's blood up, and MC having trouble turning it back, and another being MC getting headaches when consuming even weaker superhumans.

Witnessing all this yapping had me thinking, what exactly are the energy consumption rates for the MC's transforming and regeneration? Ella suggests that a wounded transformation isnt worth healing and the MC is better of resetting his entire form. I feel like the MC could negate any type of mundane damage done to him be it regular poison/venom/radiation by just, not bothering to heal at all and resetting the matter making up his body by shifting it from one state to another like from flesh to goop and back.

Of course, it would be a totally different tale if those injuries were caused by elements containing monster power. He would have to waste power to negate the foreign energies in him. After all, a Superhuman's powers function like a second immune system, as we saw with Jake and Alexis. If for example, Michael decided to use all his monster power to blast MC with as much supernatural radiation as he could, MC would have to spend considerable amount of power/energy to negate its effects on him.

Also, what even is the goop MC can shapeshift into? Is it just his own body and all of its cells, bones, flesh and organs in a liquid state or is it some kind of mnemonic supergoop?

Depends on the form really, his more durable forms and heavy armors are more energy consuming (time too!) to repair than other. In Cole fight when you pick forcing evolution the MC says that his thrice evolved flesh is costly to create when he makes himself bigger, hence I'd say that rotating through shitty forms takes less power than maintaining and fixing better ones, but you know, what is gorilla or a dog gonna do in monster fights at this level other than get one-tapped?

It's water. Just water, but with blackish hue. Yeah, his memories operate his power to make it shift and move, but it's more or less ordinary water.

Unrelated to this discussion, here is a question: let's assume that humans are defeated by monsters in the future, and, as we have seen, they all (well, most) move here from their plane until the time come to do it again. What are the chances that someone of Malik level choose to eradicate the planet and all lifeforms on it, eradicating most monsters in the process, and what are the chances something like that already happened in the past?

yeah tempatures that didn't set him on fire but but instead were so hot they just distengrated his flesh while fire was constant and it made it to where his regeneration didn't work fully. and coles power isn't really fire it's more heat based where he can burn stuff but fire doesn't really come from him burning stuff like that scene where he burned nico there was no flame produced even through he was burning her which doesn't fucking make sense but neither does most of the powers. so it's really hard to measure if mc can really be affected by a nuke when going off Cole plus most of the heat based powers in this universe don't act like heat. like maliks where he burned Goliath but Goliath wasn't still on fire or there wasn't lingering fire on him.
I specifically mention Cole's dagger cause it acts like a laser, like Klaus'. As for Malik's fire, I guess you can write it off as since his fire comes from his power, when he stops using power it extinguishes. Anyhow you're right and fire works weirdly in SuperHuman

One of the key rules for his power seem to be more mass requires more power. Stitching up wounds requires very little effort vs restoring completely lost flesh.

I think Ella's suggestion is based on the idea that by trying to heal its more complex, time consuming, if his ribs are fractured, if he's healing burns, radiation, poison or being turned to crystal or stone, he's focusing his power on undoing specific changes, when instead it would require much less effort to just take a new form.

Yeah, it cuts out a step in the process. Ella's not making a suggestion for how to heal wounds, she's making a suggestion for how to heal wounds while also constantly shapeshifting. If the MC only cared about healing himself, it would probably be just as quick to let himself regenerate normally. But he's also learning to shift through forms at rapid speed, so regenerating normally slows him down by requiring him to restore the body to full functionality before he transforms again. And he's going to ditch that body for a new one anyway, so why bother?

Mia looks really off to me but I can't figure out precisely why.
imo it's the pissed facial expression, would be curious to see her with her normal or excited expression to really tell if the new look is working or not - also she has too much hips and chest for a lady that was a stick in her old art imo
