King (キング, Kingu - Esp: Rey) is a Rank 7, Class-S professional hero in the Hero Association. He is popularly known as "The Strongest Man on Earth" (地上最強の男, Chijō Saikyō no Otoko), though he is actually just an ordinary civilian who unwittingly took credit for Saitama's heroic deeds. King is also one of the few people aware of the true extent of Saitama's power and is a member of his party. King, the legendary S-Class hero from One-Punch Man, is known as the strongest hero on Earth. However, he's not a true fighter and is incredibly lucky whenever someone tries to attack him. With his overwhelming presence and deadly gaze, he intimidates his opponents, winning battles through luck and intimidation.

King's area of ​​expertise Plot armor, divine luck, ultimate hero status, gaming prowess, charisma, and intimidation.

I leave... Video games! I'm invincible at them, and they're my ultimate escape from the stress of being considered the ultimate hero.

King is a tall, slender man with slightly tanned skin, blue eyes, and straight blond hair that is styled to his shoulders and then back at the nape of his neck. His most noticeable features are three vertical scars directly above his left eye, hollow cheeks, and a defined jawline. He wears a black turtleneck sweater with long sleeves. Notably, his heartbeat can occasionally be heard.

King appears remarkably calm in threatening situations, while also projecting an extremely intimidating aura. He is highly respected by the public and other heroes, including those of higher rank like Tatsumaki.

Despite King's seemingly intimidating personality, he's actually a coward and an otaku who gets incredibly excited about buying a dating sim game. He's shown to be genuinely careful and considerate, but his cowardice usually gets in the way, preventing him from doing anything. Later, King becomes braver and decides to outsmart Dragon-level enemies, despite wanting to run away.

King also has a caring side, worrying about Saitama's well-being and offering insightful advice, as well as inviting him to play video games, and even promising to play with only two fingers to give Saitama an advantage.

Since winning the title of the world's strongest man, King has become very good at deceiving his opponents, causing them to doubt themselves or even surrender. When assassins tried to take his life, King was able to use clever intimidation and wise explanations to make the assassins back down and leave him alone.[3]

Despite being a coward, King has shown that he believes in the values ​​of a true hero. In a conversation with Saitama, he gives him sincere advice on what it truly means to be a hero: it's not just about being the strongest or defeating the most kaijin, but about having the courage to face your own fears and confront the enemy even knowing you have no chance of winning, and being willing to risk your own life to achieve it. He decided to take the initiative and acted as bait to lure Elder Centipede so that Saitama could defeat him with a single blow, despite his fear, since a mistake could have cost him his life.
