Yeah, but the "Handsome Monkey King" was actually quite powerful in Chinese mythology, dwelt among the gods for some time, and in China is worshipped by some as an actual god, despite being a purely fictional, not a mythological character. (How does one cross the line from fiction into myth? This is probably an example.)

Anyway, unless you highly respect potato-head, just call him "Spud."

Sun Wukong, known in Japanese known as Son Goku, (many an anime stole either the name, or attributes, or both) was an extremely powerful character from "Journey to the West", a Chinese epic novel. He was trained by a Buddhist/Taoist patriarch, who initially didn't want to train him because he was born a monkey. Wow. He obtained, though the novels, the power of the "72 transformations," which let him imitate any shape in nature; people, animals, objects. He also obtained cloud-travelling, including the cloud-somersault, with which he could cover 54,000 km in one leap. He could transform each of the 84,000 hairs on his body into objects, beings, even clones of himself. He later obtained the "Gold-banded will-following staff", which was used by a god to measure the depths of the ocean. It weighed 8.1 tons in any form, even if it was small enough to tuck behind his ear as a sewing needle - yet it could also extend enough to measure the depths of the ocean. It also had its own will, as well.

To make it short, Sun or Son was crazy powerful. I mean, wow. Just, wow.
