Memoirs of the Phenomenal Primex

The basic plot is a retired super hero from another dimension telling his story for the younger generation. He chronicles his journey from cowardly but super smart and sarcastic outsider to multi universal savior after he is recruited by an organization to participate in a cosmic reality television gameshow with dire consequences for the losers. His agents craft a story for him based on the ancient earth stories Journey to the West and the Ramayana, since he looks like a monkey (a major character in both books). He acquires 72 powers and a cast of characters loosely based on the supporting characters in those books. As he transitions from self doubting student to confident mentor, he learns that encouragement is really the best super power.
