Sun Wukong was known to have incredible strength, being able to lift his 13,500 jīn (6,750 kg) Ruyi Jingu Bang with ease. He also has super speed, traveling 108,000 li (54,000 kilometers) in one somersault (In modern language, the expression "108,000 li" indicates that something is ridiculously exaggerated or far-fetched). Sun knows 72 transformations, which allows him to transform into various animals and objects. His hairs also contain magical properties, each being able to transform into a clone of the Monkey King himself, as well as weapons, animals, and other objects. He also knows other various spells such as commanding the wind, conjuring protective circles against demons, or freezing humans, demons, and gods alike with one word.
