Whot are the worst Mary Sue acts you can think of?

I'm making a list.

@LukeAlmighty Acting like a horrid, unreasonable cunt, only for the story to somehow vindicate her and the victims of her bitchfit to end up apologizing/honoring her.

Admiral Zoe Quin from The Last Jedi springs to mind.
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty
Hermione from one of the HP books come to mind where she acts like a distant horrid cunt all book until the end where she pulls some time travel device out of her ass and they use it to save everyone using stupid time paradox bullshit and then they never use it ever again.
Giving a time travel device to a 14 year old is retarded

@Duine @ChristiJunior
And can create Polyjuice in 1st class.

Thanks, added. (although, I think she won't be high on the list.)

@LukeAlmighty @Duine Oh, is this about specific Mary Sue characters, rather than Mary Sue clichés?

Thinking about it, it seems I've done a pretty good job avoiding Mary Sue-infested fiction, because Rey is the main one who springs to mind, and everyone is already mentioning her.

Oh, but here's one: Supposedly non-superpowered 90 pound girl being able to effortlessly beat up muscle men twice her size (not just scrubs, but like trained guards, soldiers and fighters). Black Widow from the MCU is the obvious example.

@ChristiJunior @Duine
I meant some particular acts.
And while Black widow is bad... Sorry.

I am writing down Cap arm-wrestling Thanos with... How many infinity stones he had there? 5???

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @Duine oh Captain Marvel?! The worse. Another person given super powers (which shouldn't be as powerful as they are) with little to no struggle. Single handedly fights back against a Titan and destroys his armies - ships with ease. Invalidating the struggle of our male heroes (which was the point, man I hate subversive Hollywood...).
@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @Duine Jessica Alba in Dark Angel because James Cameron has a boner for hot chick fighters. But Hollywood has as many of those clichés as there are women in action films. I've seen martial artist girls. Like many manly things women do, it's pretty much a hardcore cosplay.
