How does a pawn become any of the others?

You cannot promote to King or Pawn. As such, your statement is wrong and i feel betrayed.

Can't be promoted to player either

I'd love to watch someone try to do this at a tournament. Just swapping out their pawn for an extra King with a deadpan expression.

I misunderstood the rules and shoved my king into my mouth, with a deadpan expression.

Too bad they cut that out of a clip of Queen's Gambit.

The game would end when any king is captured so having more than one (as opposed to making the pawn a queen) would be a strict disadvantage. I'd allow it.

Incorrect, the game ends when a king cannot avoid capture. As such, your statement is wrong and I feel betrayed.
