    I don’t think the Superman stuff was originally there, since Goku started out as a version of the Monkey King from Journey to the West. But in the Saiyan Saga, when Goku’s backstory gets revealed by Raditz, there’s definitely a lot of parallels to Superman - the biggest difference is that the Saiyans are fully evil wheras the Kryptonians were just kind of arrogant.

      Adult [or even teenage] Goku is way closer to Superman than Sun Wukong, though I don’t think he’s especially close to either.
