There isn't anything beyond category 5, at least not in operational use; categories 6 and 7 and beyond are merely the realm of Hollywood.

Hypercanes are possible but not plausible. It's much more likely that, should the SSTs needed for such intensities be reached, that disorganized convection spontaneously forms across that region. This would serve as a throttle on TC development and, to some degree, the SSTs themselves.
