** So does ''Fanfic/TheGirlWhoLived'' series, where "Rose Potter" fixes tons of "problems" with the original: capturing Peter Pettigrew, [[RonTheDeathEater "punishing" Ron for being a teenage boy and later Ginny for getting in the Harmonian way... I mean, being mean to Fleur]], fixing Hagrid's fashion sense and Hermione's rampant SPEW[[hottip:*:her "Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare"]] promoting, Cedric's death... and basically this list could go on forever.

** It's not uncommon in ''RanmaOneHalf'' fics for Ranma to have an unknown cousin, brother, uncle or ancestor[[hottip:*: usually on Nodoka's side of the family to avoid Genma having anything cool]] who suddenly appears and solves all of his problems.

** Clara Oswald becomes this in-universe and it's lampshaded to heck - although in plot terms it amounts to little more than "explaining" a bunch of old HandWaves with a different HandWave.

** [[Fanfic/{{Dangerverse}} Gertrude "Danger" Granger]] is directly or indirectly responsible for [[spoiler:making Lupin lucid during his transformations]], [[spoiler:kidnapping young!Harry from the Dursleys and raising him in a stable environment]], [[spoiler:breaking Sirius out of Azkaban six months after his initial capture]], [[spoiler:cursing the Dursleys with LaserGuidedKarma]], [[spoiler:raising Draco as one of the good guys]], [[spoiler:causing Fudge to resign from the Ministry]]...and all that is just in ''Living With Danger''. There's a reason the series as a whole is called the "Dangerverse".

* The ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fanfic "[[http://www.darkscribes.org/story/390 Higher Learning]]" stars Kaoru Miyazaki, a KidFromTheFuture FixerSue masquerading as a teacher for the main characters. Watch as he thwarts the nefarious plans of the TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness and the MagnificentBastard, heals the ''severe'' psychological problems of the teen heroes and seduce their BunnyEarsLawyer caretaker; and marvel at the enormous popularity this fic had with the MarySue-hating crowd back when the ''Evangelion'' fandom was alive! [[spoiler: He was also an alternate universe Shinji, more or less, who basically went back in time with the express intent of fixing things.]] Though, admittedly, the fic was still quite good when compared to ''other'' FixerSue fics.

** [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6906423/1/iCarlys_Father iCarly's Father]] has Col. Shay as a FixerSue. However, this is a case of TropesAreNotBad, because ''iCarly'' is set in a CrapsaccharineWorld, most of the characters are various forms of JerkAss. It all gets {{Deconstructed}} by Col. Shay. All the characters equally get what's coming to them but not in a heavy handed and without making it a RevengeFic.

* ''TheSevenPercentSolution'' by Nicholas Meyer is a ''SherlockHolmes'' fic bizarrely combining this with using an historical character as PossessionSue. You see, ''actually'' SherlockHolmes was just a delusional junkie. And the one desperately needed there is all-shiny... who? [[spoiler:[[FreudWasRight Dr. Sigmund Freud]]!]] Yes, just like that.

** This also works in reverse: Fox himself becomes a Fixer in order to get Krystal back from [[ThePaolo Panther]], who is attracted to her. Expect Panther [[MisaimedFandom to be demonized as a womanizer and a rapist,]] even though when he ''does'' get together with Krystal in ''Star Fox Command,'' he is rather devoted to her, or at least is respectable towards her, the same of which cannot be said for Fox in the same game, who openly neglects her.

** And Lets Not Forget that [[http://spoon300.deviantart.com/gallery/31302955 Doctor Who Crossover Manga]] which uses Crossovers to [[CanonImmigrant insert an older sister]] to the [[FullmetalAlchemist Elric Family]] embedded with [[NightsIntoDreams Ideya]] [[AppliedPhlebotinum Tattoos]] that somehow Flings them beyond the gate and makes their Mother the [[SparedbytheAdaptation first successful human Transmutation]] But when she tries to pull them back home her right arm becomes the EldritchAbomination we've come to know and love. Ed's More or Less the Same, Al left behind a hand and a foot... and Ed Tethers the Now [[UnPerson Non-Existant]] Soul of [[FairlyOddparents Timmy Turner]] to the familiar Armor in the Corner

* ''VideoGame/StarFox'' usually has either Falco or Wolf be Fixer Sues in order to "rescue" Fox from Krystal. Strangely enough, another rising example is the [[RetCon ret-conned]] Miyu, a female lynx, from ''Star Fox 2.'' This troper can think of two fanfics (by the same author, no less) where Miyu "saves" Fox from an abusive-ized Krystal; one of them even has her express belief that, though he's a fox and she's a lynx, they can reproduce and have children, even though they're two entirely different species.

* The number of [[PortmanteauCoupleName Harmonian]]-written ''HarryPotter'' fanfic that feature an adult Harry going back in time to "fix things." These are mainly things like hooking Harry up with Hermione (who gets derailed into a PuritySue who can do no wrong even if she acts like a bitch) and making sure that Ginny Weasley (a character more hated than Voldemort among Harmonian circles) is revealed to be the [[{{Yandere}} conniving untrustworthy back-stabbing psycho-bitch]] [[DieForOurShip that the Harmonian community wishes J. K. Rowling had written her to be]].

*** So does ''Fanfic/TheGirlWhoLived'' series, where "Rose Potter" fixes tons of "problems" with the original: capturing Peter Pettigrew, [[RonTheDeathEater "punishing" Ron for being a teenage boy and later Ginny for getting in the Harmonian way... I mean, being mean to Fleur]], fixing Hagrid's fashion sense and Hermione's rampant SPEW[[hottip:*:her "Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare"]] promoting, Cedric's death... and basically this list could go on forever.
*** The amusing thing about Rose Potter is that she's an unintentional ''subversion''; given how massively overpowered she is, Rose ought to be able to solve all the Wizarding World's problems in no time flat, but events still unfold pretty much the same way they did in the books. Harry was only human. What's Rose's excuse?

* There is a certain ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fanfic out there which cranks this trope to the highest level. A woman from the "real world" pretty much descends like an angel from heaven into the Magic Box and proceeds to spend chapter upon chapter spouting off about how wonderful [[DracoInLeatherPants Spike]] is, making him out to be the sweetest, most courageous boy ever and verbally tearing down anyone who stands in the way of this new worldview. [[ShipperOnDeck (And the Spike/Buffy ship.)]] This, of course, means that [[DerailingLoveInterests Riley and Angel]] are [[RonTheDeathEater revealed]] as a [[FantasticRacism speciesist]] sociopath and a vicious, egotistical [[YouKeepUsingThatWord pedophile]], respectively. The Fixer Sue flat out says that she hates Riley and thinks he's boring, but gets a thin guise of "trying to help Angel"... for about three minutes, before listing every way he's terrible. (A majority of these reasons are blown way, way out of proportion or just made up "psychological" analysis.) They are exiled by the "enlightened" Scoobies, who may have ripped them apart with their bare hands if the author had deemed it fitting drama. [[ItGotWorse It gets worse after that]].
* Parodied in [[http://www.asynjor.com/fanfic/ornstead.html Otaku Three - EVA Revolution]], where a dangerously genre savvy MartyStu tries to derail ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' not through sheer badassitude or XanatosSpeedChess, but instead by feigning WrongGenreSavvy until he turns the series into a SuperRobot show. Hilarity Ensues.

* [[{{Heroes}} Arthur Petrelli]] seems to be a canon version, as he took away Peter's endless supply of powers and also managed to get rid of the hated Maya.

* Pretty much every OriginalCharacter or AscendedExtra in CoriFalls's ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' fanfiction exists solely to make sure everyone knows how perfect and special her version of Jessie, James and Meowth are and that Ash Ketchum is stripped of any positive qualities to prove what a CompleteMonster he "really" is.

* [[VideoGame/RadiantHistoria Stocke]] is an in-universe example. Inevitable disasters are always narrowly averted, he makes flawless tactical decisions, and makes counterintuitive strategic calls that by all means should sink his side but always end up being the perfect course of action. Other characters constantly comment on this. Since the player controls Stocke though, they're well aware he found all his information in due course, he just uses the [[TimeTravel White Chronicle]] to go back and use future knowledge to his own ends.

There's a reason the series as a whole is called the "Dangerverse". (And, actually, it's a lot BetterThanItSounds.)

* There are a high number of ''SailorMoon'' fanfics that try to remove the [[OfficialCouple canon]] [[SchoolgirlLesbians lesbianism]] of [[{{Bifauxnen}} Haruka]] and [[TheOjou Michiru]]. Most of them just [[CharacterDerailment turn Haruka]] [[PsychoLesbian into an evil butch pervert]] [[DieForOurShip who abuses Michiru]] and create a dashing [[RelationshipSue Gary Stu]] to make Michiru heterosexual. The most infamous example, however, was cooked up by the notorious Save Our Sailors website, which actually [[PossessionSue used]] ''Haruka'' as the FixerSue and tried to pass it off as canon. Their story claimed that there was a Prince of Uranus in the past that was Sailor Uranus' brother and Michiru's past lover, whom Sailor Uranus passed her powers onto when she died and caused him to be reincarnated as a woman that still loved Michiru. Therefore it wasn't ''really'' homosexuality because Haruka was ''[[DiscountLesbians really]]'' [[DiscountLesbians a boy]]. Cue InternetBackdraft and loss of what little credibility they ever had!

** Let's not forget that [[WordOfGod Naoko Takeuchi]] has gone on record saying that Haruka is not and never has been a man, but when has ''that'' stopped anyone?

K. Rowling had written her to be]].

* The ''SchoolDays'' short fanfiction ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5152764/1/School_days_The_Guardian_Angel The Guardian Angel]]'' is a non-{{egregious}} version of this, but it is kinda a MarySueClassic and a PairTheSpares fic. Haiko Nai is an 18-year-old trained-from-childhood bodyguard (but otherwise completely normal) hired by a unknown client to protect Sekai, Kotonoha, and Makoto. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot The plot's rather vague in regard as to who the client is or Haiko's backstory.]] Anyway, he infiltrates the school, after a few mishaps quickly becomes friends with them (due to a RunningGag involving sandwiches), saves Sekai from a drunk driver and thus earning school-wide fame, sheepishly suggests that Kotonoha take Taisuke to the festival (whereupon Taisuke immediately confesses his love to her), and forms a close relationship with Setsuna. When Sekai storms off after finding out Makoto was cheating on her, he follows and gets stabbed trying to stop her from killing Makoto. He goes into a coma from blood loss, and wakes up three months later right after being pronounced effectively dead, much to the utter joy of his new friends. Predictably, they lived HappilyEverAfter.

** This also works in reverse: Fox himself becomes a Fixer in order to get Krystal back from [[ThePaolo Panther]], who is attracted to her. Expect Panther [[MisaimedFandom to be demonized as a womanizer and a rapist,]] even though when he ''does'' get together with Krystal in ''Star Fox Command,'' he is rather devoted to her, or at least is respectable towards her.

* Any time Bass is featured in a [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears Mega Man]] fic, there's a good chance he'll be one of these; his primary purpose is to make [[TheDragon Proto Man]] leave Wily (for whatever reason the author sees fit) and force the cartoon to be a different-looking Capcom-''VideoGame/MegaMan''. Then, of course, he drops off the face of the Earth. [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot Arg.]]
** At least this offense is arguably more forgivable than Fixer Sues normally are, because despite their mishandling of the issue, the [[WellIntentionedExtremist authors]] are still [[StrawmanHasAPoint technically right]]: Protoman, while initially hostile, wasn't really a villain, and Bass actually belongs in the niche he occupies in the show. Plus, there are some fics (or at least talkings of fics) that are more than just blatant wish fulfillment. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2287169/1/End_Program End Program]] and its sequel, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2825362/1/Illegal_Operation Illegal Operation]] take the same old premise and actually get a better result: While Bass ''does'' get built and ''does'' convince Protoman to leave Wily, he neither disappears from the plot nor causes Protoman to have an unrealistically-sudden HeelFaceTurn. Instead, both become a MagnificentBastard in their own right, cause double the trouble, and have as much rivalry between themselves as with Mega Man. Unfortunately, this saga is still not concluded, but it is off to a good start.
** [[http://siphersaysstuff.tumblr.com/post/8519989554/joerubyinterview Turns out]] Bass was never going to be in the show (or at least not season three), making his Fixer Stu status much less believable. Plus, production began in 1994, meaning that the writers would've had to have been clairvoyant.

** On the other side, the entire length of canon couldn't solve RanmaOneHalf's love dodecahedron, but one mediocre fight with a Fixer Sue collapses the whole thing, quickly and neatly. A great number of fics start off with one of the girls in mortal peril from some new enemy, and it is only after he rescues her that Ranma finally realizes how important she really is to him. Then the majority of the story is actually spent tying off all the romantic loose ends.
