I do like the Obama!Sue entry. A character so perfect you have to wonder how real it is. However, he will only be in a maximum of 8 chapters in this WIP and we really won't know how his appearance will effect the other characters in it until after those 8 chapters.

Ironically, I think, this being the real world, the story is rapidly going to come out of Sue!Territory and into The Real World, where it'll turn into a drama/angst with possibly some action-adventure, and Obama!Sue will be tested against the crucible of life.

It might even turn out to be one of the (extremely) rare cases of a Sue!character becoming a real person.
