{{quote|'''Buffy:''' I was just kind of wondering if anyone else thought that Jonathan is... kind of... ''too'' perfect?
'''Xander:''' No, he's not! He's just perfect enough! He crushed the bones of [[The Master (trope)|The Master]], he blew up a big snake made out of mayor, and he coached the U.S. Women's Soccer team to a stunning World Cup victory!

Let's say you're reading through your favorite [[Fan Fiction]] website and one day, you decide to read some stories set in your favorite fandom. New student joins the school, ho hum... wait, did the main villain just step down after one snippy remark by her? That's not right... hey, I thought he already had a girlfriend! Wait a second, did the evil miners all turn themselves in to the police after she had a talk with their leader? Who is this character and why is the whole world bending to her will?
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
Because of this, the character just ends up rather boring to witness. Heroes might be [[Invincible Hero|naturally predisposed to winning]] and [[Joker Immunity|some villains might never seem to be taken care of]], but Black Hole Sue does away with anything resembling logic to prop up the characters. It stops being a story and just becomes more like a fictionalized resume of improbably fantastic deeds.
Compare [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]. A Black Hole Sue may also appear in a [[Sekaikei]] anime.
