* Billie is seen as being some sort of a MarySue because of the show's focus on her story as well as the many feats seen on her part which were never hinted at being feasible at least by any non-Halliwells before. But aside from the side story focus not being terribly much greater with her than it was with the likes of, say, Cole, she and Christy's story has involved a terrible lot of calling out the Charmed Ones over shirking their duties for their personal lives even as far back as that being what convinced them to drop their false faces and lives. Thus, it all makes sense. Aside from Kaley Cuoco portraying her like this was one of her sitcom characters half the time, '''everything''' that makes Billie appear Sue-ish, from her outdoing the Charmed ones at demon hunting early on to [[spoiler:her and Christy suddenly being the Ultimate Power and almost matching them]], wasn't because of how she was this great, nigh-unstoppable prodigal super witch. It was her determination to do good and hunt down demons, especially due to [[spoiler:her sister's kidnapping, plus the Triad's [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] of everyone involved]], versus the sisters' increasingly single-minded determination to fulfil their dreams getting in the way of their Wiccan call of duty (to the point, as mentioned above, where they changed face hoping to completely skip out on their world-saving job). The Charmed Ones' experience with Billie was a cautionary tale about the consequences of neglecting duty.

** The comics revealed that [[spoiler:Prue's presence was holding the Power of Three back during the Ultimate Power battle as well]]. In other words, [[spoiler:one former GodModeSue practically just helped another ''be'' one]]. Destiny must be an even more powerful force than believed…
