The original adventures of Sun Wukong the Monkey King are chronicled in Journey to the West, a novel sometimes published as Monkey. Written during the Ming dynasty in the XVIth century, Journey is widely considered one of the major novels in history.
The Monkey King is one of the literary characters that can easily be classified as a super-hero, given his extraordinary powers, action-oriented nature and fiery temper. He also inspired various later works – for instance Songoku in Dragonball liberally draws from Sun Wukong.
The Monkey king is a powerful Immortal, capable of wreaking havoc in heaven, and fighting off its most powerful generals without breaking a sweat. His very presence can cause terror in even dragons should he wish it, he can grow to the size of a mountain or shrink to the size of a tuft of hair, and can shape change to become anything from a fish to a full temple complex.
He can tell by scent if a being is mystical by nature or not, and see clearly 300 miles away. After his time in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, he is virtually immune to any form of heat or flame, and his time studying to be an Immortal has rendered his flesh nearly impervious to even heavenly or demonic weapons.

His strength is unheard of, and agility and skills almost completely unmatched. He can cover 36,000 miles in a single somersault, or somersault to Heaven and back again. He can survive 500 years or longer without food or drink besides (the thoroughly unpleasant and definitely not nutritious) iron pellets and molten copper (against his will).
He is sneaky and can manage to get out of nearly any circumstance.
He is also virtually unmatched in battle with his main weapon, the “As-You-Will Gold-Banded Cudgel”.
History
Wukong was born a monkey from a stone born from the mating of Primal Chaos and the sky. He jumped through a waterfall on the monkey’s island, the Huaguo-shan (mountain of flowers and fruit). There, he discovered the Shualiàn-dòng (water-curtain cave or waterfall cave). The other monkeys proclaimed him Mei Hóuwáng(handsome monkey-king) for his feat.
After celebrating, he soon realized that he was still a normal monkey; he wanted immortality. Determined to find immortal beings and learn their ways, he traveled on a raft to new lands, finally finding the Patriarch Subhuti and becoming his disciple.
Subhuti rejected him at first, but Houwang’s determination, and eventually his intelligence, impressed the Patriarch. It was from him that Houwang received the Buddhist name Sun Wukong (Wukong meaning “aware of emptiness”).
Under the Patriarch’s teaching and training, he acquired the powers of immortality, shape-changing, and cloud-traveling. He also learned a technique called the Jindouyún (cloud-somersault), where one can cover 36,000 miles in a single somersault.
Sun Wukong was taught the 72 “earthly methods of transformations”. He picked this when his master, Subhuti, offered a choice between the 72 earthly transformations and 36 heavenly ones. These transformations apparently cover every possible form of existence, i.e. people, objects, etc.
He was given three special hairs by Guanyin (who received them from the Buddha himself), which could be used in dire emergencies. All the other hairs on his body could be transformed into clones of himself.
Wukong became proud of his new abilities, and began boasting to the other disciples. Subhuti was not happy with this, and they parted ways. Subhuti was certain that Wukong would get into trouble, so he made Wukong promise never to tell anyone who had been his teacher.
