Hrrm. My problem with this is I don't have distinct Mary Sues for each fandom. I had one for X-Men, back when I was young, who was me - but younger, slimmer, with kick-ass abilities. I'm serious. Actually me. As in name, family, personality, etc, just lived in the X-Men universe and developed powers and so joined Excalibur (she got spectrum control and flight, which meant she was insanely powerful, which is a trend with female Excalibur characters - Rachel and Meggan, anyone?). Never paired her up with anyone from the X-men universe - got her own boyfriend, a paramedic - but she was in the matey zone with Gambit and Wolverine.
Then we come to the big Mary Sue. Kathy Brennan, once upon a time known by her alter-ego of Rachel Tremayne. Psychic, seer, bitchy, snarky, and depressive on occasion. She crosses over to pretty much every fandom, as she's got the added advantage of being part of a British agency set up to investigate and regulate the weird. Have yet to find a fandom I can't stick her in. Christ, last night I wrote a drabble where Aziraphale was the creator of her agency.
I do have another Mary Sue for Angel, though - a Slayer called after Faith dies in the coma of Buffy S3. University student of archaeology, helps out at Anne's shelter, Wesley's her watcher but only in a keeping tabs way. Fairly normal. Snarky, bitchy, and arrogant.
