Who is the Monkey Prince?
As DC Comics states in their announcement, “Monkey prince is influenced by the Monkey King, legendary hero of Chinese mythology as well as the traditional tale journey to the West.” It makes sense that they would want to make him a prince first, as it lends to more storytelling. We want to see exactly how the prince becomes a king much more than we want to see a king be a king. Well, unless that king is the Black Panther. In Yang as well as Yang’s 12-page short story, “The Monkey prince Hates Superheroes,” we’ll see “Monkey prince battles as well as teams up with Shazam to defeat both the evil Dr. Sivana as well as a Chinese deer demon spirit!”
