Whether you're referring to Antigone or Oedipus Rex, Creon, while a major character, is not the central figure in either story, so it would be misleading to call it "King Creon." Sort of like calling "The Outlaw Josey Wales" "Senator James Lane" instead.
Of no country is Creon King. Instead, Creon is King of the city of Thebes. It doesn't come out in the play. But Creon actually is serving as regent. The ruler is supposed to be Laodamas, the son of Creon's nephew Eteocles. But Eteocles is dead, and Laodamas is too young to rule at the moment.
No one is Theban King Creon's stepfather in 'Oedipus Rex'. Neither is Creon the stepfather to anyone in the play. But what does happen is future King Oedipus' adoption by King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth.
King Creon
Theban King Creon is mortal. So, yes, he does die. It just doesn't happen in the play 'Antigone'.
Theban King Creon plays two main roles in the play 'Antigone'. Dramatically, he plays the role of the villain. Functionally, he plays the role of head of state.

Fear that Creon is trying to take his power and crown as King as Thebes
No, "King Creon" cannot be the name of the play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the play deals with Theban Princess Antigone's defense of divine will, Theban traditions and vulnerable family members. It does so from the position of Antigone as heroic doer of great deeds, main character in the course of all events, and protagonist in conflict with an antagonist. A change in name necessitates a completely different focus and organization.
No, Theban King Oedipus isn't Theban King Creon's son. Instead, he's the son of King Laius and Queen Merope of Thebes. So he's Creon's brother-in-law and nephew.
He was the king.
