Not Mary Sues:

Kirk: repeatedly impresses god-like beings with his emotional maturity and reasoning. Fought hand-to-hand with Khan and won. Saved the whales.

Picard: passes Q's trials and makes a case for humanity's worth, multiple times. Proves Data's person-hood. Survives Carassian torture by sheer willpower.

Sisko: chosen as the Emissary. Does wrong and suffers no consequences.

Janeway: holds fast to Federation principles even when it prevents her from getting home; gets home anyway.

Archer: so important that Daniels and the Xindi both fight over him. Ends the Temporal Cold War and founds the Federation.

Mary Sue:

Burnham: starts the Klingon war, freed from prison by a Terran who uses her as a pawn. Gets called out for breaking rules.

Is this right, @Akuchimoya@startrek.website ?
