As a combatant King is strictly superior to Marco.
Similarities:
- Both possess flight and high mobility.
- Both can regenerate and/or heal themselves with attacks.
Differences:
- Fire
- Marco's fire heals others.
- King's fire hurts others.
King's advantages:
- Durability
- His wings are harder than Kaido's dragon scales.
- Stamina
- Scaling from Jack he should be able to fight for 5 days.
- He outlasted Marco and wasn't winded in the slightest when his battle with Zoro started.
- Offence
- Tempura Udon flattened several small mountains and obliterated the underlying bedrock.
- Imperial Archer overpowered Zoro's Ultra Tiger Hunt.
- His Wind Scythes overpowered Zoro's guard and sent him flying.
As a combatant, King is just of a higher class/calibre than Marco.

@RayanOO.
Nice for you to compare them while not listing too Marco advantages and only listing King advantages. It's called bias.
Marco is def faster than King : more speed feats than King.
Marco doesn't need durability if everything goes through him
Stamina : once again its a false comparison because King never had the same fighting and conditions than Marco.
King never fought Marco + Jozu for an extended period of time while healing the rest of the floor. (and having a little nice fight/clash vs BM).
Even if they had the exact same stamina it would be normal for Marco to be far more exhausted.
Offence
- Tempura Udon flattened several small mountains and obliterated the underlying bedrock.
- Imperial Archer overpowered Zoro's Ultra Tiger Hunt.
- His Wind Scythes overpowered Zoro's guard and sent him flying.
you're comparing King and Marco offense while using Zoro offense. It's a wrong way of doing it.
Zoro isn't doing anything with his attacks to King while Marco sent King flying 2 times and even drew blood from King.
From the small time we have on screen Marco can totally deal with King.
A pheonix brand vs Imperial archer ? You don't know at all how this will going.
For now given their portrayal and on screen interactions I still have Marco > King. Not by much at all but still.
