    per urban dictionary:

    "Mary Sue

    A term used by emotionally stunted men in fandom spaces that are either:

    1. Threatened by a powerful female character, (but, not a male character with the exact same arc)

    2. Unable to comprehend the heroine arc or emotional depth and struggle that character has had to go through

    'Rey is such a Mary Sue'-Jack Dimwit exclaimed, in disgust that a character could probably beat him up, *with no training*, even though the character literally grew up having to learn how to defend and feed herself since she was 5 years old"

    so absolutely she is.

    If Captain Marvel was created by a woman who designed her in her own super-idealized image, I'd say yes, but I know that's not the case.
