Gary Stu

Marty Stu is the male counterpart of Mary Sue. Largely due to the fact that fanfic writers are more often female than male, Marty Stu is far less common than Mary Sue. It has also been suggested that readers are more forgiving of a male character that has kick-ass skills and are therefore less likely to call a male original character a Stu.

Alternative names are Gary Stu and Marty Sam.
