The [[ComicBook/LazarusPlanet Lazarus Rain]] causes Marcus to manifest this ability, but it's much weaker. His clones come out as chibi versions of him, distracting at best.

Marcus Sun is a normal kid... who just happens to be the child of two supervillain henchpeople. After witnessing his parents being attacked by Batman as a child, Marcus has panic attacks when he's reminded of the incident. One day, after trying to face his fears, he awakens the powers of the Monkey Prince, and learns that he is ''actually'' the son of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King! But Marcus ''hates'' superheroes, so he's not going to be joining the Justice League anytime soon -- but he ''is'' going to embrace his powers as the Monkey Prince!

Monkey Prince debuted in the ''DC Festival of Asian Heroes'' special, and the issue has a digital-only prologue issue #0, released in October 2021. The series began an ongoing release on 1 February 2022, fittingly on the eve of Lunar New Year.

!!''Monkey Prince'' contains examples of:
* GoodParents: Despite being supervillain scientists, Laura and Winston Shugel-Shen are very good parents to Marcus. When Laura learns that Marcus is being bullied, she gives the bullies a talking to. Later that night, when she thinks Marcus is smoking, she's okay with him experimenting at his age -- she just wants him to be ''safe'', so she offers to get some good stuff for the family to smoke together.
* HappilyAdopted: Marcus loves his parents, and it's a big part of why he refuses to accept that Sun Wukong is his father whenever Shifu Pigsy brings it up.
* LosingYourHead: The first issue ends with Batman [[spoiler: accidentally decapitating the Monkey Price]]. While all involved are disturbed, [[spoiler:Marcus]] is actually still alive.
* PunchClockVillain: Marcus' parents are literally this. Their job is as villain henchpeople, or at least scientists. They're introduced working with Dr. Sivana, and later on work with the Penguin. They also have ''references'' from Captain Cold, Intergang and the Riddler!
* MonkeyKingLite: The entire premise of the series -- that Sun Wukong is a real figure in the DCU, and we're following his son, who has inherited his powers.
