Mary Sue is tossed around way to easily now, the problem with those sites is it nitpicks every little thing to the point that your character is a Mary Sue unless it's a friggen' quasimodo that can't do anything but lie, cheat, get jealous, and look stupid most of the time.
A Mary Sue is supposed to be a fan-made character that is clearly an avatar of a fanfic writer which is essentially infallible and disobey's the rules and context of said story. Like putting your character into Star Trek TNG and having him turn out to be stronger or smarter than the Q.
Edit: On a side note, I took the time to watch and read Twilight. Don't know if any of you bothered to do the same before tossing in your comments on how good it is or isn't.
It sucks btw. It's trite and clichéd up the wazoo.
