To the Lone Tenno asking why, it's because he's a degenerate character in a lot of games right now, and he's not inspired, rather he's a direct copy.

Previous warframes all have themes to work around, and are then named appropriately. The recent Atlas was themed around brawling and rock/earth elementals, but wasn't named Atlas because they took influence from the Greek giant.

With Wukong, DE's inspiration came directly from the diety Sun Wukong. His powers are all things Sun Wukong did, and he even resembles the monkey king visually (albeit he looks fantastic, but the point still stands). He's based entirely off of the Chinese hero, whereas other warframes only share their names with dieties and gods, not their entire essence.
