Despite being smart, Touma is academically dumb, so if he has an esper abilty even Level 2 would be an high level for him. More importantly, Academy City before the beginning of the main series was only able to create Level 2-3 clones of a Level 5 and improved the level to 4 near the beginning of WW3, so they coulnd't have made a perfect Level 5 clone. Said that, it is likely AC has the DNA of the Level 5s, maybe of all the espers too, as Amata seemed to imply in vol 12 (“Even back at the stage of…what was it again? Oh, right. The Radio Noise development project that came before the Level 6 Shift project. It seemed suspicious from the moment they gave the go sign for those mass produced military models. After all, they should have just made clones of you, the #1, rather than Railgun, the #3.)
