Steven Erikson's Tehol Beddict.
It's pretty obvious that Erikson adores Tehol, master of witty repartee and bizarre humor, who ends up ruling his native country.
But Tehol (who isn't a fighter and certainly isn't perfect) gets beaten nearly to death by a bunch of no-names during a riot and meets his match when he bumps into his old tutor (on whom he had a terrible crush in his adolescence), who seems perfectly capable of cutting him down in battles of his speciality (words).
I'm sure Erikson has other favourites, but since a lot of his characters either come to bad ends, are absolute bastards, or end up being totally ineffectual in the long run, I can't see any of his 'pet' characters being any kind of Sue.

Bendis clearly likes Jessica Jones ans she comes across as way too much of a screw up to be a Mary Sue.
Purple Man seems to be a favorivite villain of Bendis as well and he doesn't come across as a Mary sue.
