To the Lone Tenno that doesn't think any of the warframes weren't inspired by Western folklore.

Loki is the norse god of trickery and deception. Hmmmm... Loki in game is centered around trickery and deception. Invisibility (deception). Switch teleport, decoy, and radial disarm (oops, you dropped your weapon) are all trickery.

Atlas certainly was at least somewhat inspired by Greek Mythology or at least the name chosen meant to invoke comparisons to the Titan of yore. He summons 2 earth elementals for his ultimate similar to Atlas summoning the 2 great pillars of Hercules freeing him to do other things. Although a twist to this is that in one branch of the myth of Atlas he is petrified by Medusa's head, however, in Warframe, he has the ability to petrify. When he was petrified by Medusa's head, he turned into a mountain, which is where you commonly find landslides (his first ability). Too many similarities. Hell, the wiki entry here notes the similarities.

Sure Wukong has a similar staff ability to Sun Wukong. But Excaliber has that magical sword, an obvious homage to Arthur's sword Excaliber.

Meh, I really fail to see what the big deal is.
