===Origin===
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. The gold elements in its design as well as its Japanese name are most likely linked to Son Goku, the Japanese interpretation of the character {{wp|Sun Wukong}}. Sun Wukong is the main character in the Chinese epic ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}'' and is a monkey with powerful abilities. It is also similar to the {{wp|Vanara}}, a race of ape-like humanoids in the Hindu epic ''{{wp|Ramayana}}'', specifically {{wp|Hanuman}}, who was granted immunity to fire. Hanuman is also believed to have influenced Sun Wukong. It is most likely based on {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}.
