In One Punch Man, is King actually weak?
In One Punch Man, King seems to be running away from fights. He does not seem to show power but only firmness. I want to know if King was just pretending that he is powerful or if he actually is.

For our refference, could you include which medium you are following, aka manga/anime. And how far in you are? As this is something that is/will be answered through out the series itself

I'm not sure how you missed this if you've read the manga. As mentioned by people in the comments, this will be eventually revealed, specifically starting at Chapter 37.
In this particular chapter,
instead of helping Genos and Saitama, King went home. It was also depicted how he was afraid and how it was by chance that he was near the locations of defeated villains, resulting to the misconceptions that he is "The Strongest Man on Earth".

As was noted the manga covers this in detail and part of this is covering how King rose to the position he currently has in the Hero association in chapter 38.
In this chapter it is revealed that he has a tendency to attract problems and monsters and that in the end he is rescued by Saitama. During one of these events he gets the scars on his face. Because of his physical appearance and being at the scene afterwords so often he is associated with saving the day. Because of the money he gets from that perception he does not bother to correct it.
Also if you read the one punch wiki article for king it explains some more about his character creation that will help explain what is going on
King was created to be the opposite of Saitama where he is weak but looks powerful.
