I don't really think Mary Sues exist in published fiction, just poor characters. I say this because there are occasionally plot reasons a characters background and talents are what they are, eg Harry Potter. However there are rote characters that you could pick out of any line up, and that is just poor writing.
But I suppose our definitions of Mary Sue probably differs.
