Revisions: King (Mega Man)

533
188
I've just noticed how stale and outdated King's profile is so I've decided to fix it!

Sources:

King's fight for reference and convenience:

Phase 1 (with shield)

Phase 2 (with axe)

King's page on MMKB: https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/King

Revisions:

Ability Additions:​

Base
- Inorganic Physiology (Type 2): For obvious reasons since King is a robot.

- Acrobatics: Generally jumps around the room in the fight and performs dashes kind of like Bass while skillfully spinning his axe.

- Summoning: Can materialize his axe in his hands as seen in the beginning of Phase 1.

- Attack Reflection & Energy Absorption: With his shield, he absorbs enemy fire and fires an energy beam back at them (as seen when Proto Man shoots his shield before Phase 2)

- Resistance to Hacking: Stated he's set to explode if anyone other than Dr. Wily operates on him. This is also a weakness however. He also broke out of Wily's "brainwash", but that's likely cause of Mega Man/Bass breaking the machine and letting him regain his senses.

- Resistance to biological abilities: Things such as mind, soul, death, dream and biological manipulation shouldn't work on him since he's a robot.

- Possibly Social Influencing: Is noted to be skilled at giving speeches. However, I largely say possible because whether King truly did influence other robots to join or if it all was completely Wily's doing is unclear. I'm fairly sure it was the latter though.

Other Additions:​

- Extended melee range (due to King's axe) should be added.

- Intelligence should at least be Above Average due to his combat strategies, leading a robot revolution (if it was legit and not all a part of Wily's plot) and eventually recognizing his errors and turning to good in the end despite Wily creating him and all that.

- Weaknesses should be likely electricity based attacks overall (since he's weak to Lightning Bolt) and his resistance to hacking likely destroys himself. Also some slight cockiness due to underestimating Proto Man (which resulted in getting his shield broken)

- Also may edit some justifications and expand the Notable Attacks/Techniques section.


So yeah, that's all. I will take any suggestions and or possible additions I may have forgotten in the comments.

I agree with everything but Teleportation & BFR, since we're explicitly told that King doesn't have any kind of warp device installed. It's most likely a feature of the castle.

I was thinking about this heavily and I think you're right. It leaves a lot of questions. I'll count it off.
 
I mean, it would be like adding regeneration to Duo while in Light's lab because he can be repaired there.
 
Nah it makes sense. King doesn't have it. Cause if it was an ability he could freely use, why would King urge Mega Man/Bass to leave when King could've just teleported them out himself due to the urgency of the situation? King doesn't really use it except for that one time. Hell, King could've possibly teleported himself out of the exploding Wily Castle instead of saying he didn't have a teleportation system.

Also, the animation when King teleports Proto Man out is the same as when the Jet/Tank machine teleports King inside of its cockpit in the second battle. This implies another source is doing the teleportation.
 
I feel mentioning resistance to biological abilities is redundant because Inorganic physiology already covers that.

You're right, let me take those out. I just initially put them there for extra emphasis but that's not necessary. I'll fix some others that I've done who have this as well.
