From this day forth, I will fight for good and truth and peace and honesty-- and, uh... all that stuff! With the powers of Sun Wukong, I will bring honor to my country and peace to my city, for I am... the handsome Monkey King! 
- —Monkey King (Sun Wukong)[src]
History
A crime lord self-styled himself as a modern day "Monkey King". He was tricked by a rival into attempting to steal the original's staff, the Ruyi Jingu Bang. In the cave he encountered the spirit of the original Monkey King who, impressed by his audacity, let him take the staff and at least some of the original's powers on the condition he would be judged. If good he would be allowed to go free, but if his heart was weighed down by evil he would be cast down into the Eighth City of Hell. Judged evil, he was cast down where he was trapped for fifteen years until one of the hammers of the Worthy created a hole that allowed many demons including himself to escape. Having seen the error of his ways, he dedicated himself to trying to atone for his past deeds and hunting down the other demons that escaped.[2]
