Good grief, why do we call boringly perfect characters Mary Sues when John Carter has been there the whole time? There's one passage that amounts to "My only flaw is that I am incapable of cowardice!" Throw in a bunch of white saviorism, "and then everybody clapped," and a fawning woman, and you have the ultimate power fantasy. I guess there was a time when you could write fan fic of your own OC and get published.
