Let’s open up one of the classics of Chinese literature, Journey To The West. … Sun Wukong is the name of our hero, although he’s better known as the Monkey King. Which isn’t a colorful metaphor. He is a monkey, and he is the king of the other monkeys. Born from an enchanted stone and infused with the energy of the gods, Sun Wukong is effectively immortal and incredibly strong. He fights with a staff that weighs thousands of pounds and can vary in size from a sewing needle to a massive stone pillar. He can transform into other animals, where he is also presumably treated as a king. He can pluck hairs from his body to create clones of himself, to fight in battle or dominate the paint in basketball games. Also, he can cross vast distances in a single jumping somersault. He is very much like Superman, in fact, in that not only is he incredibly strong, he’s also clearly assigned powers any time a writer deems it convenient.5 Superheroes Older Than You Think
