* Pretty much every [[Original Character]] or [[Ascended Extra]] in [[Cori Falls]]'s ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' fanfiction exists solely to make sure everyone knows how perfect and special her version of Jessie, James and Meowth are and that Ash Ketchum is stripped of any positive qualities to prove what a [[Complete Monster]] he "really" is.

* The ''[[School Days]]'' short fanfiction ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5152764/1/School_days_The_Guardian_Angel The Guardian Angel]'' is a non-[[Egregious]] version of this, but it is kinda a [[Mary Sue Classic]] and a [[Pair the Spares]] fic. Haiko Nai is an 18-year-old trained-from-childhood bodyguard (but otherwise completely normal) hired by a unknown client to protect Sekai, Kotonoha, and Makoto. [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|The plot's rather vague in regard as to who the client is or Haiko's backstory.]] Anyway, he infiltrates the school, after a few mishaps quickly becomes friends with them (due to a [[Running Gag]] involving sandwiches), saves Sekai from a drunk driver and thus earning school-wide fame, sheepishly suggests that Kotonoha take Taisuke to the festival (whereupon Taisuke immediately confesses his love to her), and forms a close relationship with Setsuna. When Sekai storms off after finding out Makoto was cheating on her, he follows and gets stabbed trying to stop her from killing Makoto. He goes into a coma from blood loss, and wakes up three months later right after being pronounced effectively dead, much to the utter joy of his new friends. Predictably, they lived [[Happily Ever After]].

* In many [[Ranma ½]] fanfics, Ranma Saotome is made into a '''Fixer Sue''' of sorts. This would make sense since probabilities would become warped and wild things would occur whenever he's around.

** It's not uncommon in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fics for Ranma to have an unknown cousin, brother, uncle or ancestor<ref>usually on Nodoka's side of the family to avoid Genma having anything cool</ref> who suddenly appears and solves all of his problems.

** On the other side, the entire length of canon couldn't solve [[Ranma ½]]'s [[Love Dodecahedron]], but one mediocre fight with a Fixer Sue collapses the whole thing, quickly and neatly. A great number of fics start off with one of the girls in mortal peril from some new enemy, and it is only after he rescues her that Ranma finally realizes how important she really is to him. Then the majority of the story is actually spent tying off all the romantic loose ends.

* Parodied in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130705220140/http://www.asynjor.com/fanfic/ornstead.html Otaku Three - EVA Revolution], where a dangerously genre savvy [[Marty Stu]] tries to derail ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' not through sheer badassitude or [[Xanatos Speed Chess]], but instead by feigning [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] until he turns the series into a [[Super Robot]] show. Hilarity Ensues.

* As in ''Ranma'' fics, ''[[Love Hina]]'' has ''many'' involving Keitaro suddenly having a brother or cousin who shows up to fix the story.
