So I started with Hanuman since he is one of my favorite characters from out readings. One of the reasons I liked him so much was because he reminds me of Sun Wukong, the main character from the chinese novel Journey to the West. Wukong is also a playable character in Smite (where I was first introduced to him).
Wikipedia lists Sun Wukong in the see also section. I thought it would be cool to read a bit about the character since I haven't read the novel about him and all of my knowledge of him is from a couple of video games.
From there I went to learn more about his weapon, the Jingu Bang. The weapon itself is pretty interesting as it is able to grow or shrink to any size.
I learned that the original use of the weapon was Yu the Great. I clicked on the link because anyone named "The Great" must have a pretty interesting story. It turns out he introduced flood control techniques to the chinese. Also, we aren't really sure if this guy was even real.
