So, bringing that element into the design was a key factor. There are already a ton of previous adaptations of this great story, so I wanted to find a balance between the traditional uniform elements in reflection for previous fans of the mythological hero and our modern-day superhero elements you would find in heroes in the DC Universe and form that into a new, authentic variation for our times and story.

I was also initially drawn towards the curlicue motif, with it also representing clouds or wind, which the monkey would fly around on, and you can see that throughout his armor.

I balanced the traditional deep red, for blood and family, with an old gold, for history and flashiness, and teal, a more modern and hip variation of traditional green or jade. How did you arrive on Shazam as the character that Monkey Prince would be closely connected to?

Yang: First, I do love Shazam. Laughs We are planning on tying him to other characters as well. But for his debut, Shazam just felt very right. Every letter of his name is tied to a different god. We are introducing a character that is also tied to a god. Pretty early on, we knew we wanted the Monkey Prince to be a teenager. Even in the original, years ago. All of that felt very teenager to us, so to tying him to Billy Batson felt very natural—a teenager with mythological ties. And it appears they have something of a rivalry—well, a one-sided rivalry at this point.

He really understands the character. We talked a lot about what it would mean to bring a character who is rooted in both the DC Universe and the legend of the Monkey King to life. We wanted both of those elements to be there. He also has those superhero elements in there and Americanized elements.

X-ray goggles promised to make adolescents clandestine Peeping Toms; Charles Atlas vowed to turn slightly built kids into muscular powerhouses; most notably, Sea-Monkeys guaranteed a small packet of powder would bring aquatic life to your home. They were well-marketed brine shrimp. Sea-Monkeys were far from the most outlandish attempt to solicit live animals to excitable children. It was probably the size of a shoebox, except it was higher. It had a little chicken wire screen window in it.

There was a cutout. All you could see if you looked in there was his face. Tuthill carried the monkey home and brought it to his basement, where he expected it to join his menagerie of rabbits and gerbils.

Rather than settle in, the monkey began using the plumbing pipes as a jungle gym. A trip to the emergency room resulted in Tuthill receiving 28 stitches. Surprisingly, his parents allowed him to keep the monkey, which he named Chipper. Books and trial and error gave him some rudimentary knowledge of how to care for it.

Peanuts and seedless white grapes were appealing; bananas were not. When Chipper was about 5 years old, he died suddenly. Tuthill suspected a possible wasp sting but could never be sure.
