My Mary Sue criteria is, as follows -
Are we told more about them than shown?
Do plots have other characters hold the idiot ball in order to make them look better?
Do they suffer realistic consequences?/ Are they given realistic opportunities?

And any the character comes off as Sue-ish, all three are very Sue. And I base this mainly on Wesley Crusher. The teenager is the only one not to get addicted to an alien video game because he's smarter and more awesome than every single other crewmember on the ship? Really? And I think there was something with super-advanced aliens discovering he was The One Human who was worthy of superpowers or something.

Just being a wish-fulfillment character isn't enough to be a Sue. I also think wish-fulfillment characters in long running media with different owners are more likely to be Sues, like Batman and Bond. Because everyone wants to add a cool new thing to all the stuff before, but they can't really take away any of the old stuff, and it starts getting into Super-Weaving levels of ridiculous.
