This was originally going to be a reply in another thread, but I spent so long working on it that I decided to just make it a thread in its own right. I address only King and Queen (mainly because the original thread was about them and I couldn't be bothered to extend my post to cover Jack as well, but also because Jack involves more speculation that is not needed for the other calamities).
Their epithets suggests they are much more than just that. Queen is stated to be a skilled craftsman who develops "mechanical weapons" and "infectious diseases":
His epithet is "The Plague":
We've seen the disastrous effects of some of his weapons already. He created bullets that spread a super plague on contact:
The plague was severe enough to fell even Luffy:
He is proficient enough in engineering bioweapons to create shells with 200 times the viral load of his bullets.
Even 20 years ago, he seemed to use plague infused weaponry:
King on his part is "The Wildfire":
He probably has similar abilities to what his epithet suggests. 20 years ago, during the war with Oden, he appeared to be using fire based attacks (generating substantial amounts of fire).
He may have had the ability to create fires that last for days:
There is still more that we haven't seen from the calamities, but at this point it is extremely clear that they are not mere "brawlers". Based only off what we've seen so far, their devil fruits may not contribute the bulk of their combat abilities.
