Seconded. Hard.

The definition of a Mary Sue is as follows, and I quote (the ever-knowledgeable Wikipedia, as it were):

Mary Sue is a pejorative term, sometimes shortened to Sue, used to describe or criticize a fictional character that exhibits some or most of the clichés common in amateur (and especially fan) fiction, making the character itself something of a cliché. ... Characters were originally labeled as "Mary Sues" for being portrayed in an overly idealized way and lacking noteworthy or realistic flaws, similar to the character in the original parody story, A Trekkie's Tale. The definition today has widened considerably to encompass most clichés found in fiction — such as having a tragic past or being shown as instantly cool and likable — and especially that the character in question acts as a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the author who created it.

By this definition, the most Mary Sue-ish character, would indeed be the one and only Uchiha Sasuke, who everyone knows is a puss, anyway.

Much love to you.
