Corollary: There are several ways in which a BIH-type show can be interesting. Burn Notice, to take a recent example, isn't a good show because Mike is just that good. It's a good show because of other reasons - listed extensively on the related page. (feel free to use your own examples - BN is just the most recent show I've seen) I feel that this page needs to include a note, at the very least, on _how_ a BIH can exist in a show, without reducing it to an uninteresting level - and without requiring a longer entry explaining such a treatment (like the Superman and Batman entries).

Removed the entire Phoenix Wright entry. Phoenix is not a BIH, because he loses Act 1 and Act 2 in every single case. I also added a link to Anthropic Principle in the comment about how most video games end up being this via saving and loading.

How is this different from God Mode Sue?

God Mode Sue is about characters that are ridiculously powerful and perfect. A Boring Invincible Hero doesn't need to be perfect or even that strong, but because they never loose there's no tension.
