Anyway, Mary Sue or Gary Stu, I think in the end all test litmus test is how much your prospective audience is turned off by him/her/it. A well written, decent character wouldn't invite the need for the author to defend an MS/GT attack.
But it certainly helps when you formulate an obstacle/villain for the character to take on, the answer is "How would the hero defend the zombie king." Not "How would I make the zombie Queen credible enough as a thread to the hero"
The first question would be meant for Batman. The second question, Superman. See the difference?
