For the most blatant and infamous examples see CreatorsPet. The MagicalGirlfriend, {{Tsundere}} and YamatoNadeshiko, while occasionally possessing similar traits, are not usually viewed as such; they are seen more as targets of enticement instead of ones to emulate; whether they're ''still'' {{Canon Sue}}s is left to the viewer. Also see TheAce, which puts an idealized character in a supporting role in the story, often serving as a rival, a foil, a source of comedy, or as a mentor (or possibly just the HeroOfAnotherStory). SuetifulAllAlong can also play a part as well. See HerCodeNameWasMarySue.

On the other hand, this can feel very appropriate in a franchise's spin-off--to keep the series 'fresh', a new character is introduced, and in order to make an imprint on the viewer they are just AMAZING. They're clever, they're strong, they're authorative. If they're in the military, the uniform doesn't necessarily apply, and neither do regulation hair-dos. Frequently we can see characters' attraction to them--even if this requires dumping a former love interest. And of course, Sue/Stu shows that they doesn't take shit from anyone by being dismissive or outright terrible to the people fawning of them. This fault either goes unnoticed, making them impossible to like, or fades within an episode or two, and their personality evaporates with it because that was all there was to the character.
