King

**Comics** | Issue 1 (A.T.O.M.)

**King** is a fictional character from the *A.T.O.M. – Alpha Teens on Machines* series. His real name is **Crey Kingston**.

He is an animal lover and gentle giant. Even though he is tall and strong he only uses his strength to help his friends or his beloved animals. He also has quite adept computer skills.

## Personality

King is a very gentle and caring person. He is like a big brother to everyone on the team, mostly to Lioness. He is usually very calm and tries to solve difficult situations without aggression, but when he is angry one should better stay away from him. His friends and family are most important to him, even though he sometimes exaggerates his worry for others (he treats his little brother Duke Kingston like a little child because he does not want to put him in any danger). His deepest fear is needing the bathroom, but only finding running water instead of a toilet.

He loves animals and often puts their safety above his own. He would try to save them even though it would endanger his life (cf. "Revelation", where he tries to save the animals from Mr Lee's collapsing lair). He enjoys camping and is a true expert on everything concerning nature. His father brought him to Blue Pines National Park in the outskirts of Landmark City. The experience changed him to the King that he is now. King loves all animals except for butterflies, which he is afraid of. He would almost go postal when animals are being mistreated in any way. King also has numerous exotic pets including a cat, Sparky the gopher, Clarence the Brazilian tree frog who turned out to be female and had many babies, Benny the porcupine and Fluffy the bat. He has also temporarily housed other animals at various periods of time and loves to nurse them back to health.

King and Axel Manning are best friends and get along really well. They can rely on each other. King often tries to cheer up Axel when he is down because of matters concerning his father. Lioness is like a little sister to King. They spend a lot of time together and whenever something troubles her, he is there for her. He encourages her in difficult situations. King and Shark tease each other a lot; that means either Shark is playing a prank on King or King makes fun of his teammate. Yet they are very good friends. King seems to be someone who gets along least with Hawk, though he probably does better than Lioness.

King has a big appetite and eats enormous portions of food. His favorite eating establishment is "Captain Doughnut". His deepest fear is needing the bathroom, but only finding running water instead of a toilet.

## Appearance

King is an African American of about 2 metres height. He is very muscular and a little bulky. His head is bald, most likely because he shaves it, but it can be seen on his eyebrows and the small beard under his lower lip that his hair color is dark brown. His eyes are green.

King's mission outfit is mostly white with orange and dark details. He is often seen wearing dark blue pants, a white muscle shirt and a black and orange striped cap that resembles a kufi (which might make him religious/spiritual). Another of his casual outfits consists of khaki coloured pants, a white shirt with black arms, the striped cap and orange-brownish shoes. He is often seen in his underwear: white boxers covered in orange stripes or Royal Rumble boxer shorts.

## Abilities

King's computer skills are excellent and allow him to hack into almost every system. He is probably almost as good as Garrett, as they have been seen working together to crack a password in "Father's and Sons".

King is the strongest physically member of the team and always fights the most powerful opponents like Flesh and Wrecka. He is one of the key figures in the battle. Also, King is a professional wrestler and often fights with brute force. His physical strength makes up for his lack of agilty and speed. King can rip through doors and walls with little effort; his power almost equals that of Axel when Axel uses his Jo-Lan special attacks. King is also the wrestling coach for the Landmark City School for the Gifted, his brother Duke's school.
