Er, well, I may get murdered for saying this, and I don't especially 
want to get murdered, but do Cassie Claire's magids count as 
superheroes? 

And:

(Is *incredibly* tempted to say "Ebony's Angelina Johnson," for 
although Angelina is of course not an OC, we don't get all *that* 
great an impression of her from canon, and Eb's Angelina *so 
rocks*. . . )

But I certainly don't think she's a "Mary Sue," and I don't think she 
quite qualifies as even an OC anyway. : (
