The villains weren't constantly saying we need to get our hands on Snake-Eyes while ignoring the other Joes. He wasn't treated like the center of the Joe universe. When Slaughter shows up out of NOWHERE and all those things happen to him, you're dealing with a CLASSIC Mary Sue. Snake-Eyes doesn't fit the definition at all. Again, Mary Sue is NOT simply asking who the strongest or most powerful character is.
You also can't really have a Mary Sue if they're in the franchise from the beginning. The classic trope of a Mary Sue is a character who enters into a PRE-EXISTING franchise and is suddenly more important than all the pre-existing characters. Again, Sarge in season 2 of Sunbow is a QUINTESSENTIAL, TEXTBOOK Mary Sue.
That's YOUR interpretation of a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, which is fine.
