PERSONALITY: As an expert on the legends of Monkey King, Tang is very well-informed and often helps the team with his knowledge. He is obsessed with noodles and will tell MK stories about Monkey King to get free noodles in return. He shows a large amount of pride and gets very excited to tell stories about the old legends. He is often stress eats. Tang prefers to cram rather than study. Despite describing himself as relaxed and cool, Tang is quite cowardly when it comes to demons, especially ones he thinks are going to eat him, though he will always pull through and be brave when he needs to.

It was later revealed that despite Tang's utter lack of skills compared to the others, he believes that he would one day be someone his friends could count on. He also believes that friendships have to be made by choice, as he told the Scorpion Queen this after she kidnapped him.

Tang is somewhat lazy, as he doesn't pay for his food and didn't help clean up the city after Pigsy's ping-pong fueled rampage.

POWERS: Intelligence - Tang is an avid reader and possesses extensive knowledge, particularly about the Monkey King and his legendary story. Not only does he possess a vast amount of information, but is somewhat of an intellect. This is evident when he acknowledged that MK didn't tell him and the team about the existence of Lady Bone Demon. Furthermore, Tang's perceptive nature shone through when he uncovered the deceitful intentions of the Azure Lion, exposing the truth to MK and Mei about his true motives. Chi manipulation - Tang can manipulate golden chi energy, often manifesting as barriers and seals. This magic resembles a circle of cicadas. Teleportation - Tang can teleport himself and others away, usually with the help of his Khakkhara. Bubble shield - By using his Chi energy, Tang can create a shield around himself. Exorcism- Tang can use his magic to exorcise demons, spirits, and energies during rituals.
