So begins the tale of "Ensign Sue Must Die". A {{webcomic}} drawn by [[Webcomic/ImMyOwnMascot Kevin]] [[TriggerStar Bolk]] of [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/ Interrobang Studios]] and written by Clare Moseley of [[http://claremoseley.ca/ Clare Moseley.ca]]. The story takes place in the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' universe after the events of the [[Film/StarTrek 2009 revamp film]] which follows the Starship Enterprise's new medical officer Ensign Sue. The comic completely parodies the concept of a MarySue character.

The comic's run has already ended and the sequel - tentatively named "Ensign Two: The Wrath of Sue" - has just been confirmed for Fall 2012.

!!This webcomic provides examples of:
* ActorAllusion: A rather unusual example. Uhura in the 2009 film is played by Zoe Saldana, but in comic 7, she is seen reading ''Ebony'' magazine with the original actor Nichelle Nichols on the cover.
** The same kind of example in Sulu's case. After GeorgeTakei came out of the closet, some fans assumed his character was also gay. WordOfGod has denied this claim, but that hasn't stopped certain artists from [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1012 ruling out the possibility entirely...]]

** Bonus brick joke for those who've read the {{novelization}} [[spoiler: The beagle shows up at the end of the book.]]

* TheCutie
** CuteBruiser: [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1029 "They had no honor!"]]

* ExpospeakGag: Mary Sue reveals her dark secret to [=McCoy=]- She has pedal transient paresthesia! [[spoiler: Her foot's asleep.]] Also a ContinuityNod to ''Film/{{Star Trek IV|The Voyage Home}}'', where [=McCoy=] uses fancy terms for cramps to get through a hospital with a crewmember feigning illness.

* FascinatingEyebrow: Spock gives one [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=989 here]] and [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=998 here]].
* FirstNameBasis: Parodied--Ensign Sue addresses all the crew members by their first names and is often told to use their last names or official titles.

* {{Gainaxing}}: [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1046 Here]] along with...

* KaleidoscopeEyes: And [[KaleidoscopeHair hair]], and BeautyMark... we can see them in the process of changing [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1048 here]].
* {{Kawaii}}: Sue (although according to Sulu, however, the term ''kawaii'' will be excised from the Japanese language in the mid-21st century, due to rampant overuse by American teenage girls)

* MixedAncestry[=/=]TooManyHalves: She's half-Vulcan....and half-Klingon...and half-Russian....and half-Japanese[[spoiler:....and half-Deity]].
* MulticoloredHair: [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Pink]] and [[HairOfGold blonde]]; see page image.
** Well, more specifically, [[KaleidoscopeHair pink and blue and purple and yellow and...]]

* NoKillLikeOverkill: [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1052 The phasers here have Overkill]], as well as Pocket [[StarWars Death Star]] setting.

* OverlyLongName: Mary Amethyst Star [[MyImmortal Enoby]] Aiko Archer Picard Janeway Sue

* {{Redshirt}}: [[spoiler:The only possible way to kill Ensign Sue.]]
* ReferenceOverdosed: [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1066 The ending strip]] has loads of references, including ''HarryPotter'', ''StarWars'', ''XMen'', ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', ''MyLittlePony'', ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', ''{{Supergirl}}'', ''Manga/SailorMoon'', ''SonicTheHedgehog'', ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'', and ''{{Animorphs}}'', [[spoiler:all about to be overcome by Sues]].
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: "[[StealthPun Le Cutest of Beagle]]".

* ShoutOut: The comic contains quite a few ''MyImmortal'' references.
** Pocket Death Star
** [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1043 Gee, Le' Cutest. I don't think we're on the Enterprise anymore.]]
* SomebodyElsesProblem: One of the reasons Sue is so hard to eliminate is that ''nobody'' wants to have anything to do with her. Also [[spoiler:Starfleet's official response]] [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1019 ha ha ha]]

* UpToEleven: Spock sets his phaser to "Pocket [[StarWars Death Star]]". [[spoiler:[[NoSell It still doesn't kill Mary Sue.]]]]
* VillainSue: Invoked with Mirror!Sue [[PokeThePoodle though her definition of evil is rather weak...]]
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: [[spoiler:it doesn't work.]]
* YaoiFangirl: Ensign Sue [[http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=1006 here]] demonstrates that she finds the idea of [[GuyOnGuyIsHot Kirk x Spock quite alluring]]. Of course, even in this scenario, she thinks that deep down they'd still pine for her.

* HalfBreed[=/=]TooManyHalves: She's half-Vulcan....and half-Klingon...and half-Russian....and half-Japanese[[spoiler:....and half-Deity]].
