a real fanfic character (or Mary Sue) is relatively seldom in professional writing. People often mistake the "plot armor" or "OP" or "chosen one" tropes with Mary Sue writing; eg the guys in Chronicles get OP (God-like) but not Mary Sues as they stumble over their flaws. Textbook MS characters are:
- Rey Skywalker-Palpatine (THE "Copycat Sue" mostly in TFA, but in TLJ and TROS too)
- Captain Marvel in the recent movie
- Wesley Crusher in several ST:TNG episodes
- Bela and her boyfriend in Twilight (these are so called "Anti-Sue" types)
- J Bond - but only in certain films, eg Moonraker where he suddenly is able to steer SpaceShuttles, to go on Astronaut trips through outer space, or fight in zero gravity.
