 Theories may be removed if ... 
  1. Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc).
  2. More appropriate for another article.
  3. Illogical or previously disproven.
  4. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article.
  5. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments.
  6. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead).
  • This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory.
  • Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response.

See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

  • In Islam, Malik is a terrible angel who guards the Hellfire; he is the gatekeeper of Hell. This fits in with the theory that Alvar Hanso represents Hades, while Rachel Blake represents Melinoe, an Underworld goddess and the daughter of Persephone and Hades. As a gatekeeper, it's appropriate that Malick provides Rachel with a key. The fact that she strikes him with an iron can also be seen as symbolic.
  • He may be named after Joe Malik of The Illuminatus! Trilogy, as the creators of the show are confirmed to be at least partly influenced by Robert Anton Wilson. Joe Malik was a character who was playing multiple sides of a conflict, just as this Malick is.
