The Wukong warframe is based upon the lore of the Monkey King in the same way that Saber from Fate/Stay Night is based off King Arthur's mythology: they're very loose adaptations that only take the form and names of the mythology they're based off from. Considering how freely said mythologies can be adapted in the first place, and the implication that the Wukong Warframe is supposed to be the Wukong from mythology can be dismissed as erroneous.

It's clear that Warframes in general stick to a theme in a rather whimsical manner, almost as if the Orokin had this playful streak when making the Tenno and their Warframes - hell, said themes may have even originated from the Tenno themselves for all we know, shaping their physical identities to fit their powers.
