==Summary==
King is a character from the series One-Punch Man. Known throughout the world as a legendary man of impressive build, an intimidating scarred face, a towering height and an amazing position as the S-Class Rank 7 hero.
King is highly respected by humanity due to the numerous times he seemed to have saved thousands of people and is considered by many to be "The Strongest Man on Earth," with his power second only to Blast.
In reality though, King is an ordinary individual without any distinctive capabilities, with all of his supposed feats of strength and heroism belonging to the real yet unknown world's mightiest man, Saitama. King is also an antisocial otaku with the cowardice of a dozen men according to himself. He has, however, managed to somewhat befriend Saitama, who has agreed to keep his fraudulence a secret. 
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: King, "The Strongest Man on Earth"
Origin: One Punch Man
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Classification: Human, S-Class Rank 7
Powers and Abilities: Passive Social Influencing (Maintains his image as an S-Class hero even though he is just a normal human. King's name and rumored feats cause others to be intimidated by him in fear or awe of his capabilities, to such an extent that people will make irrational leaps in logic just due to false beliefs of his power, causing extremely arrogant people to respect him and comply with his decisions and making monsters die from fear. In many of these instances King doesn't even need to speak, or speaks in a way that has unintentional results. Additionally, King has a somewhat intimidating appearance despite his weakness)
Attack Potency: Human level (Despite having a naturally large physique, he never works out and is around average in human abilities. His power level was too low to be measured by Child Emperor despite him being able to rate a regular Hero Association staff member. However, the scanner can be somewhat inconsistent)
Speed: Average Human
Lifting Strength: Average Human
Striking Strength: Human level
Durability: Human level
Stamina: Below Average (Got winded after walking up a single flight of stairs, while the child walking with him was perfectly fine)
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None notable 
Intelligence: Above Average (Has managed to hide his truth as a powerless individual from the entire Hero Association. Defeated 30 people back to back in a fighting video game, one of them being a former professional e-sports player)
Standard Tactics: King will never make the first attack due to his cowardice. He relies entirely on his intimidating appearance, his King Engine, reputation or sheer luck in most cases.
Weaknesses: He is stressed about everyone's high expectations of him.
Notable Attacks/Techniques
* King Style (キング流, Kingu-ryū): While his intimidating appearance and presence usually scares off potential opponents, King has to rely on this style if his opponents aren't scared and are still ready to fight. It is not a fighting style in the traditional sense. King mostly bluffs himself out of battles or just runs away. King is highly skilled in bluffing, which makes his opponents think he is formidable, sometimes even rendering them unable to perform techniques against him. His frightening aura was so powerful, King managed to literally scare a monster to death.
* King Engine (キングエンジン, Kingu Enjin): It's a rumbling sound that others claim to hear when King readies for battle or when he is generally serious. The sound has a formidable impact on his opponent's psyche. In reality, it is simply the sound of King's heart beating rapidly and loudly from fear, anxiety, or other uneasiness. Because of King's intimidating visage and reputation, it is mistaken for bloodlust.
* King Face (キングフェイス, Kingu Feisu): King's intimidating facial expression, which scares off Villains and Mysterious Beings.
* King Hand (キングハンド, Kingu Hando): King places his hand on the shoulder of his opponent in order to intimidate them even more.
* King Brain: King has a powerful skill that allows him to instantly think of and simulate strategies.
* Super Catch: King supposedly has a technique that allows him to catch heavy weights such as a large group of people, but he claims not to want to use it for the injured heroes as the shockwaves he produces will aggravate their injuries.
* Super Sparking King Mode (SSK) (スーパースパーキングキングモード (SSK (エスエスケー)), Sūpā Supākingu Kingu Mōdo (Esu-Esu-Kē)): A supposed powered-up form of King's mentioned by Child Emperor that increases his abilities and powers.
* Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon (煉獄無双爆熱波動砲, Rengoku Musō Bakunetsu Hadō-hō): One of King's bluff techniques, which he obviously doesn't know. Child Emperor refers to this move as King's limited-time secret killer move. King simply shouts the attack name loudly to intimidate his opponents. It appears to be an incredibly powerful energy blast in Child Emperor's imagination, which can visibly be seen from outer space upon unleashing. The "technique" seems to be well-known within the Hero Association, as Child Emperor demanded King to use it in order to defeat the Dragon-level Monster Association members. When he attempted this technique as a last resort, it was seemingly powerful enough to defeat Platinum Sperm and Evil Natural Water in a split-second, validating King's legend. However, in reality, it was actually Garou's sudden arrival that repelled those two powerful monsters, facading King's supposedly killer move.
