The last seemingly legitimate king on the Iron Throne was Robert Baratheon. Gendry is Robert Baratheon's son. Why not? The supporters of Daemon I Blackfyre supported a bastard son for the throne.
4. Gendry is a Faceless Man
This is as plausible and likely as anything else that I have just come up with in the last few minutes for a series of jokes that you have likely already realized are just going to be about Gendry.
3. R + L = Gendry
He's about the right age, right?
2. Gendry is the Valonqar
The Valonqar is prophesied to kill Cersei Lannister. Cersei Lannister tried to have all of Robert Baratheon's bastard children, including Gendry, killed. It just seems like quality narrative book-ending that he would return the favor.
1. Gendry is the Prince that was Promised, AKA Azor Ahai
Azor Ahai, the Prince that was Promised, is a prophesy about a legendary warrior who will be (or already has been) reincarnated. He or she will rise up to defeat the White Walkers. He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire - which is the title of the entire damn book series and thus pretty important. The prince is also prophesied to be the blood of the dragon, and thus a Targaryen. Well, Gendry is the son of Robert Baratheon. Robert Baratheon is the son of Steffon Baratheon. Steffon Baratheon is the son of Rhaelle Targaryen. Boom.
Man, is Melisandre going to be sooooo embarrassed when she figures this all out. What with her trying to sacrifice him to the flames and everything.
