'''Xander:''' No, he's not! He's just perfect enough! He crushed the bones of TheMaster, he blew up a big snake made out of mayor, and he coached the U.S. Women's Soccer team to a stunning World Cup victory!

Let's say you're reading through your favorite {{fanfiction}} website and one day, you decide to read some stories set in your favorite fandom. New student joins the school, ho hum... wait, did the main villain just step down after one snippy remark by her? That's not right... hey, I thought he already had a girlfriend! Wait a second, did the evil miners all turn themselves in to the police after she had a talk with their leader? Who is this character and why is the whole world bending to her will?

Not '''always''' a symptom of BadWriting; a precious few ''[[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste intentional]]'' cases manage to either pull off RefugeInAudacity and/or exist to [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] the concept.

* BuffyTheVampireSlayer: Johnathan becomes this for an episode through magic.
** He's more of a [[MarySue regular Sue]].

Bonus points further if [[{{Shinji and Warhammer 40K}} they're]] often trying to ''avoid'' their [[LonelyAtTheTop universe-dominating situation]].

The very laws of the universe bend to accommodate her. If there's only [[MillionToOneChance one in a million chance]] she could succeed at something, she'll [[BoringInvincibleHero accomplish it with flying colors.]] If the logical outcome of the story would end in her failure, a DeusExMachina will ensure her victory. Nothing is too implausible for her to accomplish, whether it be going from RagsToRoyalty, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killing]] an EldritchAbomination, or bringing about world peace.

'''Seeing as how this is an incredibly subjective trope and just about any protagonist could be made to seem like a BlackHoleSue, ''don't'' give any examples, please. This just defines the term. Most characters that genuinely apply to this can go on GodModeSue.'''

Of course, the ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum and similar groups will just go ''nuts'' whenever this monstrosity rears its ugly head.
