DISCLAIMER: If any of the Mary Sues resemble ones people on this site have submitted, it is purely coincidental. I will admit I've never hosted an SYOC story before, and therefore have limited knowledge of what people consider Mary Sues. This is not an attack on SYOCs. I've submitted OCs, and I think SYOCs are awesome. THIS IS ALL MEANT FOR HUMOR. And this is NOT an SYOC, so please don't try to submit characters. I guess I should also throw in that I don't own the X-men, but since this is a fanfic site, that should be implied. Over and out!

My thoughts

Computer text

So imagine I start an SYOC...

Name: (Make it something that sounds normal.)

Codename: (Self-explanatory.)

Appearance: (These are teenagers. Please be realistic.)

Personality: (No Mary Sues, please.)

Powers: (Don't overpower them.)

History: (No overly tragic backgrounds)

I can't wait to see what comes in!

Powers: Powergirl has the powers of Electricity/Fire/Ice/Plant/Wind/Water.../Darkness Manipulation.

Okay... I'm not going to use someone whose character is Berserker, Pyro, Iceman, plus some, so I'll ignore it. The next one should be better.

Personality: Jane is very nice, smart, funny, flirty, outgoing, athletic, a good leader, and brave. All of the guys go crazy over her.

Seriously? No one can have the whole package of good traits. She doesn't even have a bad one. I'd better wait for a new app.

Appearance: Lucy has beautiful platinum blond hair and eyes like blue gemstones. Her skin is clear. She has an hourglass figure with a size C cup.

Are you kidding me? This is a teenager, for Pete's sakes! And why would I want to even know her cup size?

History: John was orphaned right after he was born because the nurses killed his parents. He grew up in a orphanage surrounded by evil adults. Those adults then shipped him off to a laboratory where he was experimented on. The experiments were horrible. He escaped, then met a girl he fell in love with. But, it didn't last, as she was killed for being a mutant.

*facepalm* I can't believe it. No one is following the directions. At least no one's messed up on the codename.

Codename: Mr. Sir Awesome Almighty Powerful Strong Indestructible Man of Adimantium

Gaaaahhh!

This is why I'm scared to host an SYOC.
