While it may not be the origin of the term, Stardust the Space Wizard is (if you ask me, anyway) the perfect archetype for the Mary Sue. For me, at least, it's a genderless term.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
A superhero who, as far as I could tell, had little in the way of actual characterization, had all kinds of powers, beat his foes almost effortlessly, and tended to hand them ironic punishments.

So I'm faced with the seemingly impossible task of filling out the "About" page on my Tumblr to be something other than a placeholder.

This is an understatement. Someone bad would be doing something bad and Stardust would show up and obliterate his foe. He was never, ever in any kind of danger that I can remember. If you were the villain flying around, he'd shoot you with his anti-gravity eye beams. If you turned into a half-doughnut/half-tank he'd halt you with his anti-half-doughnut/half-tank hypno-wave. Granted this may have been the dawn of the golden age of superheroes but pop culture (as it was) had years of serialized stories from penny magazines and the like about the old west and stuff.
And considering what you think about Alan Moore, SL, you might find it interesting that long after Stardust slipped into the public domain, Moore wholesale appropriated him for the LoEG universe (I think. It's one of those Moore stories) and made him victim to one of his own ironic punishments, and gave his HQ at the center of an active star to another one of LoEG's characters.

Reminds me of....THE EYE.
Not having read the stories in question, stuff like that doesn't actually tend to be about the main character, but heck if I know.

Eh.
I much prefer Grant Morisson. Not that I have a ton of experience in comics, but still.

I only know because I love bad old stuff like Stardust. Personally, I can't stand superhero comics with the daily Spider-Man newspaper strip being the sole exception. I despise Moore's writing and comics. He makes a chore out of comics.
So I've kind of disregarded Chris Webby for quite awhile due to his affiliation with a bunch of other generic "Im white & smoek weed lol" rappers (Mac Miller is probably the most notable example), but he's actually pretty good if this is any indication:

That's another problem. The guy is a writer whose one trick (as far as I know) is to take something we've all grown up on and try to make it into a serious modern-day drama. Watchmen was for the most part Charleston (that DC wisely did not let him destroy) twisted this way. LOeG was Superfriends with old literary heroes and villains. It's like he's the literary equivalent of Bleedman.

Anonus lives in Denver, but I've been talking to him, so I know he's okay at least...
Pizzaface - Shredder's crazed culinary creator - had a plan to become the most powerful pizza chef ever. So he zapped himself in his Retromutagen oven, hoping the energy would bake him with badness. But the hungry Turtle Teens burst into the parlor and pulled Pizzaface out. Now this half-baked bozo wants to get even with the Turtles for foiling his formula. All the Turtles wanted was a large pepperoni to go - but instead they got part pizza and part Pizzaface! Possessing the power of the pizza pie, Pizzaface is the ultimate Turtle nightmare: traveling from parlor to parlor, he terrorizes the Turtles, trying to turn them into tasty teen topping. Armed with flying piping pizzas and a Pizza Box Shield, this peg-legged pizza piper follows the Foot, even though he's only got one good leg. And what's worse? He delivers.

Bloody Tears?
Not sure what you mean.
Oh!
Do you refer to the Army of Pharoahs song?
didn't occur to me at first as I don't really care for AoP.
What the fuck?
Jesus,
I don't think we do.
I hope we don't, anyway.
