There are two abilities currently listed on King's profile that I really need to make sure are legit
Supernatural Luck
He has supernatural luck but if I may ask what is the evidence that his luck actually qualifies as this power? Simply being said to be lucky doesn't justify this ability (even says so on the page itself) and even getting out of tough situations ridiculously often is still not normally an indication since that isn't out of the norm for fictional characters at all
So once again, what justifies King legitimately having Supernatural Luck as a power?
Fear Manipulation
Even if it ends up staying it would at least have to be changed to Social Influencing since intimidation skills is that and not Fear Manipulation.
But that still needs to be justified. We know that monsters have surrendered just by encountering King and that might look like a social influencing feat, but remember, that happens primarily because of his reputatio in the world of OPM rather than his own ability to induce fear into people. Sure his looks and "King Engine" play a part, but do they play a big enough part that someone who has no clue about his identity will face anywhere near the same effects as the monsters in OPM have?
Users of this power do not really on rumors or a public image to influence others, they can affect people through their own charisma and social skills alone, and to a reasonably significant extent as well. So unless there's proof that King on his own has the capibility to influence people to an extraordinary degree, he shouldn't have this power either.
