We all know what Mary Sues are.
Actually, we don't, we very clearly don't.
A Mary Sue is a character who is depicted as unrealistically lacking in flaws or weaknesses.
Now, we all scorn Mary Sues. We want to make sure our characters are as far away from being them as possible. Oh yes, let's give them flaws!
But... what if you give them too many flaws to the point where they become the most annoying member of the cast? Too many weaknesses to the point where they're the most useless of the group?
People hate Mary Sues, but what do you all think of the exact opposite end of the spectrum? Have you encountered them before?
