Wasn't there some parody of Mary Sue's in Ultimate X-Men?

Since I cited Kane and Batman, would I also then be forced by that rule to include Jerry Siegel and Superman?

I can't remember if it was this movie or part 3 that I rented and hated with a passion. And I'm too lazy to google or Wiki it. And I used to love slasher flicks. Even went to a drive in to see Friday the 13th part 3 and Friday the 13th part 4 with a movie with Christopher Lambert that I think was called The Keep opened up the show. We just brought a shitload of beer with us and by the time that part 4 was up, I was really drunk and loving life. I wasn't driving so I didn't care.

Hank Scorpio
He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Ethan from Ctrl-Alt-Del is the biggest Mary Sue ever. He's B^U personified. The only time I would agree there would be the miscarriage story, and that's because Buckley went on his big rant the same day. I mean, it's hard to say he's a Mary Sue when he hurts himself on a regular basis and stumbles into the right answers if he ever finds them at all. Yes, he managed to build a robot, but, if I have my comics straight, he also built an Iron Man suit out of iron and put himself in it without thinking of how to get out of it. Same with super-strength robot hands.

Or when he was crowned 'King of Gaming'? His 'running into problems' lead to zero consequences. You know how he stopped being an alcoholic? HE JUST STOPPED. HE WILLED IT. Now, I don't know much about alcoholism, but I'm pretty sure you can't sober up in less than a minute.

Now, I don't know much about alcoholism, but I'm pretty sure you can't sober up in less than a minute. On the alcoholism note, I don't think he's cured of it in the least. Sure, he's making the effort now and he's had a moment of clarity, but I can't imagine Buckley never bringing it back. Yes, he blocks it out with his video gaming except in times of deep depression, but I don't think we're done exploring that particular well. There are other things that are quite absurd (Church of Gaming), but I don't think it's Buckley acting as a Mary Sue. Ethan's a moron who barely keeps anything going unless he can devote 100% to it (Church of Gaming, Winter-een-mas), has had some major screwups (Zeke and the house fire), and lucks his way through some major and minor incidents (Lucas' girlfriend robbing them and tying them up with Xbox controllers). I would say Gabe and Tycho, but Jerry has said that they never intended to be represented by Gabe and Tycho, it just happened organically. A better example would be Virtual Shackles, which while the avatars are differently-named, the same characters serve as the voices of the creators, including a Siskel-and-Ebert-style selectable commentary under the comics themselves.

Red Hulk and The Hood when he's written by Bendis are villainous examples IMO.
I mean really, Rulk picked up Mjolnir no problem because of "gravity" even though it doesn't work that way.
