How powerful is S class hero, King, in One Punch Man?

In One Punch Man, King is supposed to be the strongest man on Earth. But viewers instantly learn the truth about his power levels. While he calls himself unlucky for attracting monsters, his power seems to be the one tool every shonen main character seems to have, plot armor. His luck is anything but bad, because every time he finds himself facing a strong villain, there is a hero who is ready to fight in his place.

Most villains that King “defeated” were defeated by Saitama, protagonist of One Punch Man, and due to varying circumstances, credit was given to King every time. He was attacked by Octopus Claw Man who gave him three scars near his left eye and was saved by pre-bald Saitama who was training in order to become a hero.

King’s signature move is called the King Engine. Villains in One Punch Man believe that once they listen to the King Engine, they must accept their fate and stare at their impending doom. In reality however, the King Engine is nothing but the sound of his heartbeat which is extremely loud since he’s scared of the enemy.

Even when the Hero Hunter, Garou tried to attack him, he didn’t stand a chance because Saitama instantly kicked him, leaving him unconscious.

To sum it up, the One Punch Man S class hero is powerful because of his luck and plot armor. The writing for King is done in a manner that induces laughter. Funnily enough, King is still one of the heroes who has never lost to a single villain that he has encountered.
