Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is a literary and religious figure best known as one of the main characters in the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West. In the novel, Sun Wukong is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven, he is imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha. Five hundred years later, he accompanies the monk Tang Sanzang riding on the White Dragon Horse and two other disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, on a journey to obtain Buddhist sutras from India, known as the West or Western Paradise, where Buddha and his followers dwell.
Propaganda from the submitter:
The audacity of this guy. He was born out of a literal rock. He has laser eyes. He declared himself 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' for no other reason other than it sounding cool. He is quintuply immortal. He kicks serious butt. He is the living incarnation of ADHD. He is a monkey.
