His passive doesn't seem like Anivia's, it's a bit more like Trynd's R on automatic.

His Q seems to have a slow animation since it is described as "he rises into that air and slams into a target location..." while Malphs R is "Malphite charges to the targeted location..". I believe that in-game you would see the difference of these two.

His W's toggled on effect is more like Mundo's E without the bonus health per kill and only active every third attack. That makes it different then? No? I agree on the toggled off effect though, it is very similar to Xin's W's passive.

His E is, as you've said, a bit like Mundo's cleaver, except it is easier to land because it would hit everyone it its path, and the damage wouldn't be based on his target's current health.

His R is a combination of stat steroids from multiple champions plus the initial damage like Taric's R's initial damage.

If you look at it, there's a lot of champions with simliar abilities.

Examples:

Kog Maw's W's Active and Kayle's E both increase range, are automatically self targeted, and causes them to to deal bonus magic damage.

Xerath's Q is Lux's R with shorter range and casting time/windup/delay.

Vi's W and Vayne's W deals bonus damage on the third auto attack based on the target's maximum health. On another note, most of Vi's skills were branded as ripoffs from other champions.(Her R is similar to Malphite's R, as her passive is similar with his passive)
