The image of Ton Ngo Khong in “Journey to the West” is quite familiar to us, especially as it serves as a beloved archetype that many children adore. Ton Ngo Khong is always depicted with strong colors and magic to combat evil. With an appearance as a clever and agile monkey, he possesses various magical transformations and skills that surpass those of humans, making him an essential character in the quest to obtain the scriptures in the journey to the West, enduring through 81 hardships.
Before becoming the monk of the Three Treasures, Ton Ngo Khong was born from a rock and possessed magical powers from the beginning, thanks to his lineage from the Supreme Emperor and the great celestial beings. The court had ten celestial soldiers, celestial generals, including Nhi Lang Than – the grandson of the Heavenly King and Na Tra, who went to capture Ton Ngo Khong. After many resistance attempts, Ton Ngo Khong was eventually captured.
Subsequently, the celestial court decided to imprison Ton Ngo Khong in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Supreme Emperor to temper him. After being roasted for 49 days, Ton Ngo Khong broke free and became even stronger than before. However, he was not harmed, and even acquired the ability to see through all forms of deception on any given day, known as “Hỏa nhân kim tinh” (Fire Human Golden Star).
So if Ton Ngo Khong were to confront Quicksilver from the West, who would win?
Although Quicksilver is merely a supporting character in the Avengers, he leaves a significant impression on viewers. He is a superhero with incredible speed. Quicksilver’s physical structure allows him to move at extraordinary speeds, and his respiratory and cardiovascular systems are far more advanced than those of ordinary humans.
Quicksilver’s muscles are incredibly resilient and strong, comparable to steel.
Comparing the strengths of Ton Ngo Khong and Quicksilver
Ton Ngo Khong
Strengths: Possesses 72 magical transformations. Can travel at high speeds, equivalent to flying around the world in 10 minutes (approximately 54,000 km), faster than any current aircraft such as Boeing, Airbus, and even the Concorde. Power: The main energy of Ton Ngo Khong is 13,500 pounds, allowing for infinite flight, various transformations, and elemental manipulation.
Quicksilver
Strengths: Moves at a speed of 4000m/s. Can cause molecular disruption to an object (by hitting it and rapidly displacing its molecular structure, causing it to explode). Given these strengths, does Ton Ngo Khong have any chance against Quicksilver?
If Ton Ngo Khong were to use his magical powers to engage in combat with Quicksilver
Quicksilver’s speed could allow him to evade most attacks, moving faster than lightning.
With this super speed, Quicksilver could dodge powerful attacks and create whirlwinds. However, avoiding the powerful strikes from Ton Ngo Khong would be an extreme challenge. Additionally, if Ton Ngo Khong could use transformation magic to create clones of himself, then he could potentially distract Quicksilver.
If Ton Ngo Khong were to utilize his powerful transformations to pursue and capture Quicksilver
It is possible that Quicksilver could run through all obstacles, dodging while maintaining his speed without needing to slow down, even running on the surfaces of buildings easily. Will the battle between Ton Ngo Khong and Quicksilver last indefinitely? Ton Ngo Khong would need to be extremely cautious not to get caught by Quicksilver, or it could be that he’s just waiting for Quicksilver to exhaust himself. Furthermore, Quicksilver could outrun Thor’s lightning and cover the distance from the West to Indonesia in just a few seconds, making the chase even more complicated.
In reality, the speed of “too fast, too dangerous” is precisely the defining power of Quicksilver.
