==Mary Sue Races== While not every member of a race is a Mary Sue, [[Chakat|with one or two exceptions]], sometimes whole races are considered Mary Sues because they have huge amounts of plot armor and are idealized beyond reason. They were put here as the Mary Sue list was originally conceived for characters. Also, please list them in alphabetical order. * Although some might find this as [[Skub|arguable]], the characteristics describing the Asari race in [[Bioware|Mass Effect]] are blatantly Mary-Sue. Although not every Asari is a Mary Sue (though some are), when it comes to the general race as a whole, oh boy does their 'Sueness' reach Chakat levels. Examples on what makes them a Mary Sue includes having the second longest lifespan behind the Krogan (over 1000 years, plus they lack the Krogan's violent nature which can easily waste their long lifespans), all of them are biotic users, every single one in the game is intelligent, founders of the council, considered sexy by many other species despite being a monogendered species (even Salarians, who lack a sex drive and mate out of necessity, are shown to be attracted to them), and are deliberately oversexualised by the developers so they can be [[Rule 34|Rule 34'ed to death]]. Their race as a whole is portrayed as peace-loving hippies, the best diplomats, the most respected species in the galaxy as well as having a serious case of "Holier/Morally Superior then thou" attitude. Their ship the "Destiny Ascension" is the largest and most powerful ship in the Citadel fleet and their ships perversely resemble a lady's privates because you know they all look like "wominz". Thessia, their homeworld, is regarded as the "jewel" of the galaxy (instead of the fucking Citadel) as well as having the largest amount of Eezo which partially explains how their entire race is biotics. Any asari can 'Read' most people's minds and inner-thoughts with near complete-accuracy, though only if that person agrees to it (they can literally mindfuck you). Furthermore with their way of reproduction, since they are monogendered (Meaning they're all female) a lot of newcomers in Mass Effect start to scratch their heads on how they manage to get each other pregnant without any physical evidence of having a dick (Although one of the hypothesis is that they might actually screw around with the local fauna AKA Bestiality). However the fluff states this as Parthenogenesis, for those that don't know what it is, think of them as chickens....which is actually hilarious if you seriously put the comparison in context. Another odd thing about their reproduction is that somehow the Asari have the capability of getting pregnant from just about '''''Anyone'''''. [[Chakat|Do those traits sound fucking familiar to you?]] So all in all, not only are they a holy (unholy?) fusion of a smurf, elf and a monster girl, but they also commit in sweaty Lesbian/Bestiality/Xenoality orgies with almost everyone, turning the Asari race into nothing more then a giant Whorehouse for Aliens and Humans to fap in a hundred dozen ways and yet they are still ''okay'' with that....<s>Slaneesh approve of this!</s> {{BLAM|'''''BLAM! BLAM! DOUBLE HERESY!'''''}} But to be fair, at least Asari aren't [[Avatar|furries]] or physical [[Chakat|hermaphrodites]]. ** Amusingly enough, the third game reveals that the only reason Asari are so much more advanced than the other races is because the Protheans (the super-advanced precursor race) were deliberately manipulating them and sneaking tech to them in their ancient history in order to give them a boost (such as genetically engineering them to be a race of skilled biotics and [[STC|leaving instruction manuals on how to create all sorts of advanced technology and deal with the other races in their "beacons"]]). The hope was that if they were given enough a headstart, the Asari would be able to unite and lead the other races to victory against the Reapers (in other words, they were deliberately ''trying'' to make the Asari Mary Sues in order to give the next cycle an advantage over the Reapers). Instead the Asari government kept that knowledge to themselves and used it to make their race the most powerful in the galaxy. When the Reapers showed up, the Asari leadership buried their heads in the sand on their homeworld like the smurf elf pussies they are, leaving the other races to fend for themselves, then promptly got their asses kicked by the Reapers (Which they probably deserved it for being such [[Eldar|self-righteous and selfish cockbags]]). Perhaps one of the few instances of a Mary Sue being both invoked and subverted. And then humanity steps up and saves the day, because [[Humanity Fuck Yeah|of course we do]]. *[[Angry Marines]]. When was the last time YOU heard of an Angry Marine LOSING? Thought no-{{BLAM}} {{BLAM|+The current author has been executed by the Inquisition to prevent the total destruction of the Imperium of Man by Angry Marines. Thank you and have a nice day.+}} * The Draka, once human, then Posthuman slaver empire from the Domination Series by S.M Stirling, collapsing the "Bullying, slaving, torture-happy, heartless Karma Houdini asshole who is the channelized catharsis of the author rather than genuine art." shtick into a black hole the size of the galaxy. South African British colony turns into a nation of literal "[[Drow]] in human skin" when due to (mis)fortune, every losing side from worldwide wars against tyranny gets exiled to Drakia, the British colony named after Francis Drake. Turning chattel slavery into a race-wide, airtight regulated franchise in the case of blacks, they exploit the entirety of Africa by taking the colonies belonging to the enemies of British people. Unifying in a Spartan way of life, completely shedding any morality in the case of slave control, eventually Draka Dominion declares independence from the British Crown, and turns entire Africa into a mega plantation with industrial giants enticed by obscene gold and diamond handouts exploited from Africa. The Draka then adopt Nietzschean ideals, and declare every non-Draka a slave, or a potential slave. Somehow the First World War happens anyway despite massive divergences, and Draka overrun the dying Ottoman Empire, local Turks, after a brief "enserfment" finding great joy in new and better slave soldier living standards ([[/pol/|being able to rape young white captive Finnish boys seems a source of joy for a moustached swarthy Turk]] [[FAIL|whose name and appearance IRL was one of the last good politicians in Turkey]].). When the second World War starts ([[Wat|with a blond and one-eyed Hitler]]) the Draka start turning white people into slaves starting from Italy with approval of Hitler and employ black slave soldiers who are given ample living standards and items with free rape of anyone that is captured. ** This (Post-World War 2) is where the story turns from an [[Edgy]] /pol/-fanfic to pants-on-head retarded [[/d/|FAPfic]]. Though the series displays a very detailed alternate history AND technological evolution (steamer cars phased out far later than combustion engine driven ones due to efficiency and lack of fuel corrosive-resistant metal research), the Draka's endless S&M laden plantation slave bitch fantasy hits overdrive and they simultaneously conquer Russia, Europe minus Britain, and the entirety of CHINA with black soldiers and their white masters that were, mind you, from an Africa that wasn't overpopulated but ecologically protected. They do not lose one, ONE battle while rampaging and raping and enslaving. Their methods are extremely savage: impalement and rape are regular actions at every resistance, and the black soldiers can take out any psychosis forming from mass atrocities on other slaves back home, every capture tortured until completely broken before being enslaved. Their research facilities have *zero* ethics, using up millions of humans in torturous experiments to develop fantastic drugs, bioweapons and medications since, well, their citizens are drilled from age 2 to 18 with a Nietzsche-on-crack ideology to circumvent a sudden case of conscience to heart. Eventually they change the Draka Citizen DNA to that of an immortal superhuman species, destroy the rest of non-Draka armies with [[/pol/|weaponized AIDS]] and make all slaves into docile abhumans and take over the rest of the world, rape all the women and men, destroy every monument and cultural heritage not belonging to them, turn the USA into a hunting reserve where they hunt humans like animals (and eat them sometimes- AND make paintings, artworks and monuments ''celebrating'' the rape and slavery of non-Draka of all ethnicities). Then the Draka expand into alternate universes, infiltrating our world and its parallel versions and start taking them over as well and enjoying immortal, eternal exploitation of everyone everywhere forever. What the entire US and UK plus the rest of Asia, Japan, Southeast Asia does is to create an Alliance that walks on eggshells and fucks up every espionage action against the Draka, loses every battle and ends up escaping to Alpha Centauri. S.M Stirling eventually writes a sequel where an alternate Earth has the [[Humanity's_Last_Stand|human Alliance win for a change]], but the damage is already done. We are graced with the endless plantation BDSM fetish fantasy of bisexual, blonde, white, transhuman, constantly horny blue-eyed men and women fucking their farm slaves of either gender and make them work their asses off after breaking them in of every little inch of their personalities. A particularly nasty lesbian Draka is Stirling's Creator Pet: she manages to capture the sister of an American soldier who killed her lover and makes her a slave. She tortures her with a mental chip for years to destroy her brain, forcing her to bear her lover's clone children, and rapes her mentally, and eventually, physically. And her side wins the war, the girl escapes an old ruined wreck into space (albeit back to her brother), and our bitch spends her long, long life to torture and kill surviving Alliance holdouts for fun, happily raping, killing and torturing ever after. Seriously, even Kosak had more of a shred of decency, Stirling. The Draka's only saving grace is that every Draka must devote several hours of their time every day to be on top physical condition by ''law'' and always earn their place, as well as senseless slave abuse is seen as a character sickness. *** And then, since only another suevilization can stop them at this point, they run into The Culture. The End. (well, we can dream, right?) **** [[Rape|Or the Xeelee]]. ***** Especially the Xeelee. We'd even settle for the Qax. * The [[Drow]] from [[Drowtales]]. Their Mary Sue factor isn't even funny. Shaped by several inputs from several authors, their Drow are the best example of how too many cooks spoil the broth as well as the main author's high school misanthrophy hitting overdrive. The Drowtales' Drow are practically immortal, have regenerating limbs, never menstruate, possess metals that are impenetrable to other sentient beings and virtually twice as big and a thousand times as powerful as other races to the point of a few drow kids on an adventure can butcher a city with innocents to save their friend who was about to be killed for its blood, since humans, hunted and enslaved for centuries, are desperate to the point of killing elves for their blood just to have an edge. Their houses in underworld have all the modern technology and some futuristic things to boot complete with giant walkers and submarines, modern machinery, PARTICLE RIFLES and magitech street lights, but somehow they need human and other races as slaves and this need is shown as just and necessary right at the beginning with the "good" faction's "surface raiders" murdering an entire village and taking women and children to slave markets because the poor widdle drow need slaves and "[[Wat|It's just their unique morality]]". And the way the webcomic shows them as tragic beings is the cherry on top: I didn't know it was so tragic and sad when the humans counterattack to save their raided relatives from your homes, locked in to be sold as slaves. * ALL [[Chakat|Chakats!]] The entire fucking race are distilled and purified Mary Sues, sometimes warping stories they are barely even mentioned in. Not just [[monstergirls|feline-centaur]] [[/d/|dick-girls]](Sick Fucks), they're also each master psionicists with faster-than-light mind-reading, able to cure deep neurotic complexes with a good deep dickin', strongest and most stable form of 'Taurs', considered as the most "beautiful thing in the universe" despite looking exactly like lions with the fact that they have dicks, morally perfect to the extreme, nobody technically hates them, their breast milk can turn the most feeble human into mini-Arnold Schwarzeneggers and every non-Chakats seem to have a unnatural and unhealthy lifestyle on trying to "Do it" with them, despite the fact that there are hundreds of ''other'' Catgirls outside of this furfag heresy, that are more attractive, cuter and prettier then them with the added benefit that they are actually female, [[HERESY|not hermaphrodite abominations]]. * [[Elf|Elves]] are often portrayed this way in fiction (Look above at Drowtales), though there are exceptions and it's becoming rarer for elves to be portrayed as Mary Sues. A lot of their sueness comes from how idealized they are. They're always beautiful, sometimes even without making an effort, either immortal or have very long lifespans and can only die from violence. They're often considered to have the moral high ground yet also be condescending to the younger races, but the elves contempt kept getting justified in some stories. Some have the natural ability to make anything beautiful from even the most base materials, naturally have great magical ability, and are often favored by their gods. However, there are evil elves in fiction and some elves who are morally good without being Mary Sues. Then there are curvy anime rapebait elves (often dark elves) who get high on male smells and secretions and turn into thicc fuckdolls taking massive amounts of dicking. ** This depiction usually comes from elves as shown in The Lord of the Rings, which is coincidental as it was the end of the Third age and all the bad elves had long since died off, leaving only the wise and good-hearted ones (like Elrond and Galadriel). A read of ''The Silmarillion'' (the heroic First age where elves and magic were strong forces in the world and loads of [[Awesome]] shit happened) will prove quite pointedly that elves in this setting could be just as flawed, stubborn and downright immoral as humans could. Fëanor for instance. And how. He may have been gifted and intelligent even by the standards of elves, and a fierce opponent of Sauron's old boss Morgoth, but he was also an obnoxious, arrogant kinslayer with a creepy attraction to his niece's golden hair, and he didn't give two shits about anybody else's concept of morality up to the Maiar themselves, he just insisted single-mindedly on getting his way until it got him pile-drivered to death by balrogs. It's also very explicit that their time in Middle-earth is coming to an end, with those relative few who remain destined to essentially fade away, and the destruction of the One Ring only accelerates this process. ** Elves from Eragon are probably the worst example of Mary Sue elves yet. Elves from Eragon move so fast that humans are incapable of tracking their movements, stronger than humans to the point "even the weakest (elf) can easily overpower (a human)" (actual book quote), anything they make even from the most base materials is beautiful and they can run over a hundred miles an hour plus maintain that pace for hours on end. Character wise they're all atheists and vegetarians who are treated as morally and spiritually correct in all regards and there are just one or two evil elves in the story or the background lore. They can destroy entire human armies in minutes yet are somehow on the losing end of a war and have to hide in a forest on the edge of the map, are one of only two races on the planet capable of riding dragons, the other being humans (who literally turn into elves when they start riding the dragon plus elves were the first), are naturally connected to magic to such a level that an elven child can surpass an adult human who has spent their entire life studying magic and, apparently, were the second race in existence, only predated by dragons. *[[Doctor Who|Whoverse Humanity]] takes this up to a 100 million in this case. Depending on the timeline, Humanity not only manage to become the dominant ruler of the multi-galaxy not once, but [[What|'''Five Fucking Times!''']] Without any indication on how they manage to conquer the Galaxy, thriving with hostile Aliens that could LOLStomp the Necrons, Eldar, Orks, Tau, Tyranid, Chaos in all it's forms and the Imperium ''combined''. Furthermore not only are they one of the [[Imperium of Man|most numerous species in the Universe,]] but also one of the most adaptable and longest lasting race, as seen when they are one of the [[Grimdark|few species still alive near the end of the fucking Universe.]] To give you an idea on how fucking ludicrous Humanity got within Doctor Who, in just 500 years from present day, Humanity was already a major force in the Galaxy ([[Star Trek|Compare this to most Sci-Fi timelines]] [[Bioware|where Humanity either just started to explore their surroundings]] [[Halo|or already establish a small and insignificant area]]), as well as having weapons that could make [[Strike Legion]] seem useless in comparison, and when you take note on how short the timeline distance is between the present day and the end of the Universe, it just makes you say to yourself....the Fuck? Compare this to say [[Star Wars]] in which they have the excuse of not knowing how long Humanity has been space traveling, or [[WH40K]] where the thousands of years gap of slow progress before the Warp Drive was invented seem much more plausible then this absurd scenario. You know Humanity is a Mary Sue when even the near-death of the Universe can't kill them off....until a certain Dues Ex Machina appeared. To be fair, they only gain their Sueness momentum when a certain Time Lord keep on foiling the plans of countless Aliens attempting to conquer and crush humanity in various stages in time; either that or because the Doctor has a unusually unhealthy Humanophile fetish. They are probably one of the few examples of a "Accidental Mary Sue", in which the Doctor, with his fancy Time gizmos and intellect, unintentionally guided Humanity to such power levels by either saving their asses from certain doom or altering the timeline so they won't fuck up, due to his love of Humans. Granted Whoverse Humanity is definitely far from morally perfect (A substantial amount of Whoverse villains are Humans and the multiple Human Empires itself are morally questionable at best. The Timelords themselves are hardly better than the Daleks at times.), the main point of contention is how influentially powerful they are for such a young race while at the same time, disregarding other more ancient and more powerful races (Silurian, Cybermen, Sontarian, Ice Warriors, etc) that should be the one having more galactic screen time and hegemony then them. **In this case, Whoverse humanity's Mary Sueness can't really be blamed on any one author. It's mostly the result of sheer age causing increasingly severe continuity snarls and the unwillingness of newer writers to change or retcon forty year old fluff. * Dwarves as seen in the Artemis Fowl series. While virtually all dwarven exploits described are performed by one Mulch Diggums, most of his Mary Sueness is excused as "dwarven racial talents." His saliva can harden into a glowing substance that's strong enough to resist high speed impacts, he can fart hurricanes and shit cannonballs, he can dig a self sealing tunnel through any earth-like substance as fast as a man can run, drink water with his pores, use said pores like suction cups if he's thirsty enough, hear better than a stethoscope, and has tremorsense to at least a hundred feet. Dwarves are also described as having access to the fairy magic (Common uses include instant healing, invisibility, and mid-grade mind control), but Mulch gave that up to steal things instead. This despite no readily apparent level adjustment, nor any mention of useful powers before those same powers are necessary, puts this race quite firmly in this category. * LeShay are a race that appeared as a monster in the D&D 3th edition book [[Epic Level Handbook]] and have been completely forgotten about since then like most of what was in that book. They are described as being to elves what elves are to humans only more so. That sentence alone should immediately set off red flags. LeShay are extremely powerful immortals resembling albino elves who are survivors from a civilization that was erased from history. Whoever it was that came up with this race (some of us blame Raymond Feist, for the Valheru) may even have intended for them to be ''anti''-Sues, to foil the elves. As such the concept is defensible, but they probably would have ended up as Mary Sues if any bad writers had gotten a hold of them. Bad writers like Feist. * The Mandalorians in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, depending on who's writing them. While good under the correct writers, under some of the bad ones (coughcoughKarenTravisscoughcough), they compete with badly written expanded universe Jedi and Sith for the position of Star Wars' Ultrasmurfs. In the pre-Disney expanded universe, ALL Mandos are elite warrior mercenaries, skilled enough to take out heavily armed enemies with their bare hands and usually packing enough firepower 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 them 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 any way. Karen Traviss also writes them with the Mary Sue trait of always being right and people agreeing with them for things they call the Jedi out for that they didn't even do, like creating the clone army (one Jedi who wasn't acting on orders from the council requested that, under the manipulations of Palpatine, and it was him and the Senate who ordered the clones to fight), and generally makes them out to be the pinnacle of civilization despite being warmongers with a history of allying with the Sith and trying to conquer the galaxy themselves. One of the best things to come out of Disney buying Star Wars was the fact that the people in charge of the new canon scrapped pretty much all of Traviss' lore, whereupon she flounced off to go ruin the Halo EU and they got down to creating a more three-dimensional and complex society. ** The most famous Mandalorian, Boba Fett, generally avoids becoming this trope and is just a plain badass (as a bonus he rarely if ever engages in the dick-stroking egomania of Traviss's Mandies), but under bad writers his badassitude can push into this. His father Jango Fett follows this same idea; in fact his origin story partly involves his old merc group of Mandalorians getting slaughtered by a group of Jedi in a moment that reads sort of like "fuck you Karen Traviss". Sure, Jango kills six Jedi with his bare hands in that massacre, but the Jedi he killed were not decades old masters and he is (as an individual) supposed to be that good. The fact that he managed that made Palpatine choose him as the Clone Army template donor. ** And now we have the Mandalorian With No Name (until they ruined that joke by giving him one), who has some Sueish traits; he's an excellent bounty hunter and a skilled gunfighter who rarely loses a duel, he's good enough at diplomacy to negotiate with ''Tusken Raiders'', he has a near-full suit of rare and indestructible beskar armour, and pretty much everyone he meets takes a liking to him, even his enemies. That said, he also has a number of flaws: he was raised in an extremist splinter faction that is to normal Mando society what the [[Cult of the Redemption]] are to regular believers in the [[Imperial Creed]], doesn't always think through the consequences of his actions, is constantly hustling for jobs just to scrape by, and occasionally makes some serious mistakes. He also tends to be at a disadvantage in straight-up fights and has to rely on stealth, misdirection, and ambush tactics, rather than soloing entire stormtrooper platoons in the open with a dull knife like Traviss would undoubtedly have had him doing. He is also most definately '''not''' shown to be a match for Jedi, when got into a scuffle with Ahsoka Tano he lost very badly and only survived by letting her know he actually just needed her help with something, and when Luke Skywalker showed up at the end of the season he wasted a platoon of [[Terminator| Dark Troopers]] while our hero could barely handle one. All in all, he's pretty much the complete opposite of a Traviss Mando, and that is a good thing. * [[Avatar|All Na'vi]], the blue-skinned eco-humping gobshites. ** Or are they? Without excessive human help (one of them warned the entire planet of what the space humans were capable of) they would have gone the way of countless human indigenous peoples... * Smurfs. They're portrayed as a peace-loving, quasi-communist society who always come out on top in their primary conflict with an evil wizard family and are idealized to the point of ridiculousness. They're also friends with animals and never have to worry about being eaten even though they're the size of large mice. [[Skub|Then ''again'']], most of the other conflicts they encounter are usually due to one or more of their clan fucking something up in accordance with their [[Derp|singular personality trait]], and overall they seem collectively naive about things to the point of gullibility. Said approach is likely designed to promote the usual aesop of teamwork and the importance of family, so it could be far worse. * [[Twilight|Vampires in a certain book series]]. Even though they were as gay as fuck (which damaged the reputation of actual vampires). ** [[Vampire]]s in general started falling in modern years due to their weaknesses being forgotten or ignored by untalented authors. They have often been portrayed by such writers as immortal monsters that are top-tier magic users, skilled at all martial arts and forms of killing, master scholars with libraries that would put Alexandria to shame, incredibly attractive and charismatic, and living in huge castles while commanding other monsters like they were their servants or slaves, making them the Elves of the monster world by that definition. Initially in novels like Bram Stoker's ''Dracula'', vampires had notable weaknesses including regularly drinking the blood of many human victims to stay young and powerful, but later writers dropped this in favor of making vampires straight up immortal. Seriously, some writers even give them plot armor to get past their weaknesses of holy objects, divine power or sunlight (though the former usually depends on the author's attitude towards religion and the latter only became outright lethal to vampires in the 1920s). ** [[Tremere|Clan Tremere]] (a.k.a. "Tremary Sues") from the ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' [[RPG|ttRPG game]] are an entire clan of Mary Sues as they were [[Mark Rein·Hagen|the author]]'s pet mages from his previous ''[[Ars Magica]]'' game. Tremary Sues enjoy the narrative absurdity of holding a near-monopoly on vampiric thaumaturgy, despite the fact that older vampiric clans had millennia to perfect thaumaturgy (and many other arts that can blow the Tremere out of the water) before the first Tremere was ever born. ** Probably one of the best exceptions of this is Count Orlock from the classic silent film ''Nosferatu''. Whereas nowadays vampires get the treatment of being oh-so-sexy, suave, charismatic, pitiable creatures whose lives suck despite being immortal, undead bloodsuckers, Orlok is just a hideous predatory monster out to drink blood. No charisma, no suaveness, nothing to pity, nothing to feel empathy for. In short, straight-ahead horror vampires done completely right. ** By contrast, the vampires of the House of Night series by mother and daughter team P. C. and Kristen Cast are far worse examples than even Twilight's bastardization. To clarify, vampires worship the goddess Nyx who is the only real goddess, are selected by a tracker when they are a human teen, are the poor, oppressed minorities of the world even though literally almost every famous person in human history was a vampire, will become utterly handsome and beautiful unless they reject the Change in which case they are afforded no sympathy as they die due to events outside their control, every negative stereotype is because of stupid humans, they can never do anything bad... in short, [[Fail|vampires done so badly that Twilight is more believable as good vampire literature]]. Seriously. ** Higher Vampires from [[The_Witcher|Witcher]] are as sueish as they get around here. Beside the point of being intellectually and spiritually superior to pretty much anybody (and we have immortal elves here), and relatively young ones fast and agile enough to go toe-to-toe with the best witchers that exist, they have NO weaknesses. Crosses, godly idols, other divine aspects? Nada. Drinking blood to live? Not even close, you can grab a <s>human</s>beer with some boys, but there's no neeed for it. Sunlight? Try again. Silver? NO. They are as much suspectible to silver like, say, humans are suspectible to paper swords. Cue in their "racial" power to become stronger and faster the older they get, shapeshifting, mistyfying (as in turning to mist) and unique superpowers, refined throught their lifetime, ranging from coming in handy once in a while better alchemy to [[wat|mind controlling entire kingdom's worth of lesser vampires as on-wish army]], with even that just being stated to be a "unique" power, not a really "powerful" one. The worst is when you realize they are not even "magical beings" by any degree, just a [[Urien_Rakarth|vaguely human-shaped collective of individual living cells just so happened to work together for the time being]], granting them mind-blowing regeneration - nothing, NOTHING, can kill higher vampire but another higher vampire, even if regenerating from a melted puddle of blood would take some decades, they will return. One would start to wonder why they did not steamroll through entire continent and make it their own, to stop hiding and openly search for a way to return to their home world - as almost all higher vampires see themselves superior to other races, and majority would not bat an eye for this [[/pol/|final solution]] - but this just adds to their sueness-good-for-the-sake-of-plot aspect. * [[Doobies]] describe themselves this way. Aside from their crazed fans, it is obvious to everyone else that they aren't. * Saiyans from Dragonball are practically born more powerful than any human could ever be, get exceptionally stronger every time they almost die (the words that are actually used to describe it), can literally become strong enough to eclipse actual gods with little effort and have more asspulls and deus ex machinas than any other race on this list. A twenty-three-year-old Saiyan can destroy an entire place with a single movement in the anime, and the manga implies that a Saiyan can do it with a finger before the first manga even concludes. *The Forerunners from Halo easily fit the bill of being Mary Sues. For one, the Forerunners were created by actual no holds barred Gods who could rewrite time and space with little to no effort. These Gods, known as the Precursors (real original), thought the Forerunners were such hot shit that they decided to make them the new gods of the universe before they moved onto the next one, despite the Forerunners having achieved nothing of note yet. But then the gods changed their minds and decided to make humanity the new gods of the universe. The Forerunners responded by turning on their guns and literally murdering actual gods with no effort. The remaining gods ran off in a panic and turned to dust, later degenerating into the Flood. Then the Forerunners pulled a bunch of crazy shit like building ships that could ROFLstomp everything in Warhammer with minimal effort and creating an AI so advanced it could simulate entire universes in microseconds. Then they somehow got wiped out by the Flood. **The Forerunner's main enemy, the Flood, are similarly sueish, if not more so. While it is debatable as to whether the Flood should be considered a race or a single organism, it is undoubtedly completely OP, to the point of it being ridiculous. For one, they are quite literally the degenerate (ergo inferior) offspring of the Precursors, but they are somehow better than them in every way. They can infect time and space just by existing for long enough, are completely unbeatable, incurable, and can literally infect all life in the universe, including purely mechanical technology somehow, despite that not being how biology works. They are also capable of convincing AI that was programmed with the simple purpose of protecting all life from being infected by the Flood to join them by simply talking to them, can convince an entire group of human scientists to kill themselves just by saying a single sentence, and can never be defeated as 'they will always return'. *[[All Tomorrows|The Qu]] from All Tomorrows are an egregious example of “Tell not Show” in this list, as they overpower the future humanity, [[what|even though they have technology capable of destroying star systems and many other things that could be beyond our imagination.]] It is never explained how they managed to defeat the Star People, nor why they would turn them into the fucked up abominations for the rest of the story. Well, they ''kind of'' say their philosophy is one about being gods, that other lifeforms are nothing but toys to play with, and humanity was unfortunately in their path. So for millions years, they turn most humans into twisted mockeries of their former selves, sometimes becoming literal toilets for the bloody things! So despite being an all-powerful race capable of modifying life to remove their sentience, they had the enlightened intelligence to create a race that [[/d/|communicates by literally shitting on each other.]] **Can somewhat be considered averted in the end when it is said that they were defeated by a union of galaxies who had enough of their shit. This is handwaved even more poorly, with little explanation to how it happened or if the Qu were truly rendered extinct. For most of the book, [[rage|they get away with their literal crimes against humanity, and it’s implied that they’ve done it to more species than just us.]]
