* [[Angry Marines|All Angry Marines]], done on purpose for lulz (hypocritical mary sues). Mostly because you can't beat them and they are the every fa/tg/uy.

* Archaon, as he only loses to due Grimgor interrupting at the last minute. The campaign results not playing a role in Storm of Chaos can be forgiven because if Games Workshop used them like they said they would, the Hordes of Chaos would have been slaughtered before they even reached the Empire.

* Ahsoka Tano, from Star Wars the clone wars. She is a reckless and headstrong Jedi padawan who ALWAYS makes some kind of mistake. This would normally make for a good complex character, if not for the fact that she ALWAYS learns some valuable lesson and completely make up for it. She has broken the Jedi code a few times, and has cost the lives of the clones under her command because of her recklessness. This completely turns around later on where she is shown to have matured, rarely making mistakes and instead becomes something of a mentor to younger characters she encounters.
* Ash Ketchum, from the Pokémon franchise most of the time, though he started off as one. Sees a legendary Pokémon on his first day as a trainer (said Pokémon is a Legendary one most go their whole lives without seeing and don't know exists; also trainers who see it are marked for greatness). Meets Pokémon gym master Brock who looks after his younger brothers; yet Brock promptly abandons his job and family just to follow Ash around. Before this he met a girl called Misty, stole her bike and got it destroyed. She decides to follow him to make sure he repays her for the bike. This never happens. Instead Misty forgives the debt and falls in love with him, with no reason for either given in the story. This is without going into his ridiculous amount of luck in the story, which is evidence of heavy plot armour. (It should be noted though for all his Mary Sue traits he has never won a pokemon league championship, since his show is milked to the point of being dead as Post-heresy [[God-Emperor of Mankind]])

* Lightning from Final Fantasy 13, she is basically a pink-haired Cloud without any of Cloud's likable personality traits. She's currently the NEW AND ASTONISHING HEAVENLY Valkyrie that fights a purple Sephiroth in her new game "Lightning's Return". Not that we care, but she was created by Motomu Toriyama, a man with a Chris-Chan-like persona and Matthew Ward style writing who is now continuously raping the franchise. He has a waifu love for Lightning like Paul has for Alice. Lightning is comparable to Alice on many levels, which says a lot, really.

* Lisa Simpson. Throughout the series, she is the only consistently intelligent person in Springfield and is never allowed to be completely wrong. Two of the biggest examples were single-handedly persuading the IOC to hold the Olympics (THE OLYMPICS!) in Springfield, and was once deferred to over STEPHEN HAWKING (who is famous for being one of the world's smartest people irl). In over 300 episodes there have been very few episodes where she has done something wrong, and she has never been punished for any of those things. In addition, she is something of an author avatar for Matt Groening, the creator of the Simpsons. Matt [[Matt Ward|(not this one though, ironically, they share the same first name)]] even admitted that Lisa is his favorite character, and that he would do anything to prevent her from looking bad.

* Maka from the Soul Eater anime series. The fucktards at Bonez though it was a good idea to do the same thing they had done with Full Metal Alchemist, changing the storyline for the anime series, making Maka possessed weapon soul when fighting Kishin, even finish off Kishin with a single punch of courage bullshit. Such a damn shame since the series animation was so well done.

* The Mandalorians in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, depending whose writing them. While good under the correct writers, under some of the bad ones (Hint, it involves Karen fucking Traviss), they compete with badly written expanded universe Jedi and Sith for the position of Star Wars' Ultrasmurfs. In the expanded universe ALL mandos are elite warrior mercenaries, skilled enough to take out armed enemies with their bare hands and usually packing enough fire power to level a building. They're so badass in fact that they're known to hunt Jedi for fucking sport because they're the only thing that'll give'm a real challenge. Experienced jedi hunters can be good enough to fight them head on despite all their force powers and saber swinging because they have the right gear and experience to counter it. Bear in mind that Mandos do not use the force in anyway.

* Starkiller, AKA Galen Marek, the MC of the Force Unleashed Star Wars game. Mastered the Dark Side, mastered the Light Side, finished off the Jedi, defeated Vader, defeated the Emperor, met Yoda, rescued Leia, formed the Alliance, even used his bullshit cheesy force power to bring down a Star Destroyer. Give me a break.

* Selene, from the 'Underworld' movies. Throughout the series, she bears several similarities to [[Alice]]; both are experts with weapons, both have superior biology to their respective species (humans for Alice, Vampires for Selene), both kill their way through swarms of enemies without getting a scratch, both have little regard for their source material, and both are played by the wives of the directors of their respective film series.

*Sith from Star Wars EU will also tend to jump around on the Mary Sue meter, ranging from them dying by the dozen to being walking pillars of RAGE, especially if it's that faggot Sith Emperor from TOR, whose so bullshit powerful the guy you kill in the storyline is just one of his vessels. What a dick. Those sith who
dont
die like red shirts, are usually so powerful that the only reason the good guys ever win is that they inevitably turn against each other, allowing them to win. As with Jedi, not all Sith are Mary Sues but all have the potential to become ones. A notable case of a "Mary Sith" was Darth Bane. Starting out a miner on a back water planet he joined the Sith army where his force abilities were discovered, and after training for a few months and learning from a holocron became an unstoppable sith who destroyed the existing sith and
layed
the ground work for the eventual destruction of the Jedi.

* [[Space Marines|Space Marines of the Imperium in Warhammer40K]] [[Matt Ward|(especially under certain writers)]]. You know it's true. However, there [[Space Wolves|are]] [[Captain Titus|some]] [[Salamanders|exceptions]] who are awesome enough to get a pass. The reasons: just look at the
favouritism
they get from Games Workshop in both the fluff and the crunch (They always either win or get the "moral victory", they're the easiest army to use, they're updated the most, etc...)

* Superman. He is morally perfect, one of the strongest beings in the DC universe, and his one weakness that's supposed to kill him never works ex: he lifts an entire continent of kryptonite after being stabbed by a dagger made of it. The only way to nerf him is to have Batman beside him, because Superman always becomes a dumbass when Batman is around (go watch DCAU Justice League to see for yourself).

* Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind and leader of the alliance, from World of Warcock, is showing signs of becoming one. The signs are, first, his flaws are disappearing (or being blamed on a split personality) Other, more established, canon characters are being developed for the worse (such as Jaina and Tyrande. NOTE; they're also two of Warcraft's few major female characters) to try and make him look better. He's chosen as a champion of a powerful demigod even though there are many other better candidates such as MOST Night Elves. Finally, even though he's been a racist warmonger almost as much as Garrosh (who's set to be the final boss of the latest expansion) there are no signs that he'll be called out or face any negative consequences for this.

* [[Star Trek|Wesley Crusher]]. Originating from the same franchise as the original Mary Sue, Wesley is a very young ensign training to be an officer in star fleet, where he's earned the admiration of many of the bridge officers. He became something of a protege to Captain Picard, who was impressed by Wesley after he showed that he had learned all the controls at the captain's chair when they first met. While not morally perfect or incorruptible Wesley is as close as he can be in most cases. Many people thought that he was an insufferable little shit, amongst them Wil Wheaton (the actor who PLAYED the guy).

<s>

</s> He's only moral by Gene Roddenberry's standards (which are messed up beyond belief, the man thought it was okay to rant about women but not for children to grieve), by a normal person's, he's smug and ego-centric, along with his Dues Ex Machina techno skills, which are shown off by making the rest of the crew look useless. He notably also gets the Enterprise into danger before getting it out of it, and never gets called out for it

* Any White Wolf employee that shows up at a Vampire LARP session is automatically playing a millennia-old demigod vamp. (I wish I was exaggerating; they've waded into living-city LARP games as antediluvians and permanently killed people's Camarilla characters.) Since these are (literally) self-inserts by the publishers, it makes them Canon Sues.

* Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore from HP, undefeated, all-knowing, gets cursed because he needs to, and even his death is planned suicide. When book tries to dig dirt on him, in the end his
greates
flaw is that he "loves too much", and "believed Harry would do the right thing". Not exactly. His "loving too much" made him try the cursed ring on; big mistake on Albus' part. That curse would have killed him if Snape hadn't slowed its spread then mercy-killed him later. So he's not all knowing. In his youth, Dumbledore was an arrogant, pro-wizard bigot; this indirectly led to his sister's death and made his brother hate him. Though maybe he should've suffered more consequences for it.

The whole series he puts up with greatest of shit and biggest danger withough recognition and glory up untill his death. Hell he may even be the biggest, perfectiest Mary Sue in HPverse.
