Gums was dead by the time King showed up. Evil Natural water reacts to "killing intent" which obviously King wouldn't have.TacticalNuke002 said:

Gums is, and Psykos in blob form looks similar so...

I am still not convinced on Social Influencing since that still has to be a skill or ability inherent to the character rather than mostly being a result of rumors and misunderstandingsGyroNutz said:

If it really is then I don't think Mr. Satan's SI is legit either. It should go without saying that someone should only receive a power based on what they themeselves can do and not what other people did with them such as exaggerating their power or spreading rumors about them

Aside from the fact that I have no idea when the hell we added "Social Influencing" to our list of powers on the wiki, I do agree with the the OP in that these two abilities need justifications/evidence of some sort if we want to keep them on the profile.
It'll be a while before I try analyzing anything that's already been said in this thread though. I have a pretty large backlog of things I need to take care of now that I have wi-fi at my house again,

i can't believe this. i can see why the fear manipulation had to go but he clearly has superhuman luck. did nobody read the webcomic or the manga?

If you wanted the power to stay, you could have just brought the proper evidence like I asked. "Did nobody read the story" or "if you read the story you would know" etc are sentences that mean absolutely nothing when it comes to justifying an ability

i'm sure other people agree with me and have probably posted everything i would post. there's nothing i can do to change your mind if you ended up deciding to go with this

What evidence is their to suggest his luck is supernatrual? Their are a bunch of series where characters are redicoulously lucky for seemingly no reason. Thats not enough to grant superhuman luck.
If you have evidence to suggest his luck is actually superhuman, present it so it can be examined and readded if you are correct.
Edit; this reminded me of something though, So small side story/slight derail here feel free to skip.
@yellowpig10 Not meant to be rude just your last comment reminded me of a more bizzare interaction
Has anyone else had this experience, a question was asked about two characters abilities interacting in a fight. I answered with the info on the character profiles and the sites rules.
A user brought up a bunch of abilities/resistances that wern't listed on a profile, when i pointed that out this user told me to watch the anime/read the novel. I pointed out I wasn't overly interested in the series but if he wanted those abilities to be seen as valid he needed to create a crt and present evidence to have them added,
This user proceeded to imply I was ignorant for anserwing the question with info on the profiles and that he wouldn't make a crt because it would never be added due to "the way this site is"

The difference here would be this; Ash encountering numerous Legendaries and surviving impossible situations is much more infrequent and pure plot conveniences.PaChi2 said:
Literally every time King is put in any kind of adverse situation, he either scares off said, character or skates by on sheer dumb luck (As I mentioned before, he's literally funding his entire lifestyle on his luck and other people's assumptions of him).
Does Ash escape literally every dangerous situation via something similar? No, he doesn't. That's the difference here.
Consistency.

"A plot convenience is an element of the story (an event, a certain behavior, a coincidence etc…) that doesn't really make sense in the context but is necessary for the writer who wants the plot to take another direction."
Not really, it's more of a running joke which adds to his character, most of the time it doesn't have a huge impact on the story, King isn't the main character or anything.
Also, at this point; it's not really that "it doesn't make sense within the context of the story", it's more so a in-verse constant which is to be expected.
