I just want people to use the term "Mary Sue" correctly. ORIGINAL FICTION DOESN'T HAVE MARY SUES. THEY ONLY EXIST IN FANWORKS WHERE A CREATOR INSERTS AN IDEALIZED VERSION OF THEMSELVES INTO THE WORLD OF THEIR FANDOM. THAT SELF INSERT IS THE MARY SUE. BATMAN, KATNISS, JAMES BOND, AND BIG BIRD ARE NOT AND CANNOT BE MARY SUUUUUUUUUES!!!

*GASP*

I'm tired now.

While I get your anger, Mary Sues definitely exist in original fiction.
If an author inserts an idealised version of themselves into a world of their own making for all the cool characters to fawn over, that's a Mary Sue. Fan environment isn't really a requirement, they're just far more rampant there.

Canon Sue - a Mary Sue that is canon.
