An assassination method is one of many different ways to kill a Sue, ranging from the classical arrow to the chest to the more creative method of pitting them against another Sue with a similar description. This is an incomplete list, as listing all sorts of banal assassination methods is a waste of space and time—we don't need to know every time an agent broke a Sue's neck, used a pointy object, pushed a Sue off a high place, etc.

Methods are classified by the continuum in which they took place, usually but not always the continuum of the badfic. Those which are closely in line with what could happen in canon tend to be more effective at getting the continuum to revert to its normal state.

Assassination is not the same thing as murder; it is not done without due process. Therefore, not all Sues are killed (if they are not a danger to the existence of the Multiverse, Sues can be recruited).

Note: Some methods involve feeding the Sue to a canonical monster, and hungry beasts are often considered a neat way to dispose of the bodies regardless; agents should be aware that Upstairs does not approve of this method being used too often, as it is liable to leave the canonical monsters uncanonically fat.

In-universe, the General Store sells an annual edition of a book that details all the Sue executions carried out that year, written by Jane Haven.[1] Not only can it be a source of inspiration, but also a handy blunt object in a pinch.[1]

Anime and Manga[]

Black Butler[]

  • Knifed in the back, then in the heart - Courtesy of Violet Rose Greenfield and Miguel Correa.

(Also, she was weak from supposedly having had her soul eaten anyway.)

  • Fire hose, Mermaid karaoke, Arc-en-ciel and Earth-Shattering Kaboom - This odd combination was used by Sergio Turbo, Nikki Cherryflower, Ari, Tera and Corolla to kill the incredibly overpowered Alyxx Heart: she was weakened with water and a high pitched song (her two weaknesses according to the fic), then she was left on an uncanonical planet, charged, and killed with an Arc-en-ciel blast that also blew up the planet itself.
  • Stabbed with bad writing - Agent Tera threw 'stabs of fear and jealousy' through five bit characters and a Sue-wraith.

Monster Musume[]

  • Devoured by the Kraken - Agent Lapis convinced Captain Davy Jones to sic his pet on the Stus Titus and Christopher Sparrow.

Annabel Lee[]

  • The cold storm - from the poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Employed by Agents Suicide and Ithalond to kill Anna-Belle Dialer.

  • Agatean Thunder Clay and Klatchian coffee - used by Agents Manx, Shadow, and Jill Greenleaf to kill Angua Sue. They strapped her to an activated barrel of Thunder Clay, force-fed her the coffee, and threw her over the edge of the Disc. Klatchian coffee, according to Jill, "strips away the fluffy pink clouds that protect the human mind. And Sues are practically made of those little delusions and plotholes and excuses." Therefore, it causes them to disintegrate. The Thunder Clay exploded before Angua Sue fully disintegrated, thus winning Shadow the five-dollar bet.
  • Assassin's Guild receipt - a handy excuse for leaving bodies lying around in Ankh-Morpork, used by Dafydd and Vemi to explain away the corpses of Lascivia Sto-Helit and a Hogfather impersonator.

  • Fluffy - employed by Agents Manx and Shadow to dispose of a Sue by the name of Marimtudada.
  • Killing Curse - Supernumerary used Avada Kedavra on a vampiric replacement of Luna.
  • Knockturn Alley - the Sues Maddie and Terrah were immune to magic, and therefore couldn't be restrained or killed with spells. Agents Naomi, Laburnum, and Foxglove killed them with a non-magical axe and sabre, then dumped the bodies in Deathly Hallows-era Knockturn Alley, where nobody would be surprised to find the mangled bodies of two Muggles.
  • Given to Greyback- Agents Rina and Randa fed Ordellya to the werewolf. And his entire pack.
  • Lethal injection - Agent Supernumerary injected a concentrated salt solution into a nerfed!Snape doppelgänger in his first mission with Agent Ilraen. There was a lot of twitching.
  • Misspelled spell - Lord Voldemort used the "Crutacious Curse" on Cordelia Driscol, turning her into a sort of shell-less crab thing. Agents Supernumerary and Ilraen took advantage of it in their first mission.

The Jaunt[]

  • The Jaunt - from the Stephen King short story. Used by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove to remove a Lisa Simpson Sue. Evidence suggests the Jaunt disassembles the body on a molecular level while leaving the brain alive to experience an apparent eternity with no outside input, which generally annihilates sanity. If set to Nil, the body is not reassembled at the other end, thus making it a perfect body disposal system.

The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit[]

  • Ancalagon the Black - Smauglock!Stu thought that challenging the biggest dragon in literature was a good idea. Ancalagon, whose breath happens to be a yardstick for the One Ring's indestructibility, wasn't terribly impressed.
  • Balrog - employed by Agents Jay and Acacia to kill Anirana and Hanae.
  • Burning - Agents Jay and Acacia burned down the noncanonical area of woodland in which a Sue named Pangaea was standing. Also used by Agents Dafydd and Selene to remove the noncanonical village of Hasland, along with Amariel Halfelven and Theaden of Lórien.
  • Burning of the Telerin Ships at Losgar - Threndodale and Merrisil, two Stus who claimed to be the Heir of Fëanor, were handed over by Logan and Entropy to the real Fëanor for punishment, and ended up burning along with the white ships (and possibly Amrod, depending on which version of canon you follow).

  • Falls of Rauros - Agents Logan and Entropy disposed of Listala over the Falls, who wanted to end up dead with her erstwhile love, Boromir, on his funeral boat. She got her wish, more or less.
  • Geographical expansion - Agents Dafydd and Selene were forced to take on "legolas by laura", in which Mordor is suddenly two hundred yards away from Mirkwood. They fixed this by tying the Sue's arms to a rock in Mordor and her legs to a tree in Mirkwood, then knocking her out, allowing the canonical distance to snap back.
    • Also employed by Derik and Gall to punish Vanya for forcing the Anduin to come close enough to the Misty Mountains for her to drop straight in after falling off a broken ledge.
  • Glaurung - the dragon. Used by Agents Jay and Acacia to destroy Elvira Magiseer and Silavren Silvereyes.

  • Mumakil - used by Agents Jay and Rhus to destroy the body of Candace Van Allen.
  • Old Man Willow - Agents Mara and Isaiah released Kasey, Samantha, Shandell, Keira, Allyson and Rachel into the Old Forest, where the trees conspired to herd them down to Old Man Willow, who lured them in with his song and crushed them to death.
  • Orcs - employed by Agents Jay and Acacia to dispose of Phoenix.
  • Orthanc - Agents Jay and Acacia threw Alexis Moonbeam off the tower's roof.
  • Poison - Agent Constance Sims forced poison down the throat of Imarátoiel, who had mentioned that she wanted to be dosed. You should really be careful what you wish for, especially if you are a Sue being hunted by PPC agents.
  • Ring of Sairalindë - magical ring taken from a Sue, used by Agent Dafydd to destroy Celebrian and her orcs.
  • Sacrificed to GreyLadyBast - Evelyn Sue was brought back to HQ after Shadowfax declined the opportunity to kill her for placing a saddle and bridle on him. Agents Mara and Isaiah then allowed her to be used in the initiation of Agent Miiro.

  • Suvian Overheated Cerebrum Syndrome - Agent Ami Seeker read 'A Elbereth Gilthoniel' in the original Sindarin to make a crossover troll Sue explode.
  • Stalagmites - Agents Mara and Rosie impaled Felina on stalagmites in Aglarond.
  • Tevildo - Agents Jaster and Threnody fed a You!Sue to him.
  • Torture - Agent Cassie Young used this method on an illegitimate Aragorn and Arwen's Daughter!Sue. It took rather a long time and the job had to be finished off by Nat Freidar. This particular method of execution was not regarded with favour by the Flowers.
  • Ungoliant - Agents Tadkeeta and Eclectica fed Vanyáliel to her.
  • Watcher in the Water - employed by Agents Jay and Acacia to dispose of Laurel.
  • Witch-king - employed by Agents Dafydd and Selene to kill Sairalindë. Apparently the Witch-king did not recognise her as his daughter, despite her claims to this status.

  • Gloomer - employed by Agents Nin Brandt and Luxury for convenient disposal of Tsarmina Sue, a.k.a. Tsuemina.
  • Ruggan Bor with a sabre - pointed at Rosebay Willowherb by Agents Manx and Shadow. Exactly what he did will be omitted for reasons of good taste.
  • Salamandastron - employed by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove to dispose of Cregga Sue and Bladestripe. This may sound odd until one considers that Salamandastron is an extinct volcano, and therefore if one portals back in time far enough, at some point it must have been active...
  • Skrabblag - employed by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove against Mariel Sue.
  • Teeth of the Deeps - employed by Agents Naomi and Drake to dispose of Fernflower.
  • Yo Karr - employed by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove for bulk disposal of Katie, David, Jessica Jenks, Jessica Clark, Jane, Heather, Chris and Logan (also known as Tigerlily, Aggron, Crystallyn, Jane, Yeather, Dixon and Tollaw - or possibly Tallow, it changed at random moments).

  • Fire Lord Ozai - Convinced by the Aviator and Zeb to fry Zuko's uncanonical girlfriend to a glittery crisp.
  • Koh, the Face Stealer - Agent Rayner introduced "Avatar" Keyx to this denizen of the Spirit World; after Koh stole the Stu's face, the latter was brought back to the mortal realm and, with no nose or mouth to breathe with, promptly died of suffocation.

Farscape[]

  • Mostly Dead - Agents Supernumerary and Ilraen left the useless, non-canon wizard Dr. Jenkins frozen in stasis on the Diagnosan's planet in the Farscape continuum. He'll remain there until he can serve a purpose as an organ donor, at which time he will become all dead—unless the Scarrans destroy the facility first, in which case he'll still die. It's a win-win situation.

Firefly[]

  • Reavers - Agents Rez and Flip portalled River!Sue to a reaver ship. Killing Sues this way was officially forbidden soon after.

Heroes[]

  • Dropped off the Empire State Building - John Stu was dropped off the roof of the building, hogtied, by Agents Titus and Murtagh.

  • Given to Celestia - Suggested by Dawn McKenna as a way to assassinate a Sue named Tigerlily, but rejected by her partner Zeb because Celestia was not the type to execute someone.
  • Mass exorcism - Because the Stu Aaron couldn't be killed directly due to being undead and constructed out of plants, Zeb, The Aviator, and many other agents killed him by exorcising the Everfree Forest. This worked because the Everfree Forest was where the plants came from that made up his body.
  • Teleported into a star - Used by Randa Roan against Midnight Moon, as poetic justice because Midnight claimed to be the Princess of the Stars.
  • Teleported into the Gauntlet of Fire - Used by Ix against Misty.

Sherlock (BBC)[]

  • Dissection - Eledhwen and Christianne gave one of their Mary Sues to the incarnation of Sherlock Holmes from the Modern Baker Street Fanfiction Academy. He used her body for science.

  • Partial assimilation and recycling - The Gary Stu, Jack Russel, brought the former upon himself with his own bad logic. Agents Cyba Zero, Eagrus Khan, and Sigma One and Phi Six, gave him the choice of them leaving the process to finish or expelling him from the continuum by death. He did not want to be left to become a Borg drone, so he became resources for the Borg instead.
  • Gun and Vidiians - The Sue Noel was shot dead by Tasmin Haynes and subsequently given to the Vidiians so that they could harvest her organs.
  • Strangled by necklace - The Joanna McCoy Sue was killed by Sedri, who pulled the necklace she was wearing while Sedri's partner, Marsha, held the Sue in place. The body was unceremoniously thrown into the Enterprise's rubbish disposal unit.
  • Pre-Reformation Vulcans - The Sue Seraphina and her boyfriend Stupock (a character replacement for Spock) were killed by Vulcans from before the Reformation of Logic after Christianne Shieh and Eledhwen Elerossiel threw them both back in time. They did this as a form of poetic justice, since Stupock behaved similarly to a pre-Reformation Vulcan.

Stargate SG-1/Atlantis[]

  • Fed on by Todd the Wraith - Miah Arthur and Cali Still released Todd the Wraith from the plot hole Dawn the Wraith Lover!Sue had trapped him in for months. Understandably, he was hungry, and more than a bit annoyed with her.

Dragon Age[]

  • Panties - After being rescued by Agents Aster Corbett and Lore, the mage Bendrick smothered Lucy-Elissa with her own panties, electrocuting her for good measure.

Dragon Quest[]

Fallout[]

  • Iron Smelter - 6 sweetwater was dropped into one of these in The Pitt by Danny, Laura, and Intern Rachel.
  • Plastic Explosives - 9 Nucky, his boss Lincon, and Bonita the Lone-Wander-Replacement!Sue were caught in an explosion set up by Danny, Laura, and Rachel.

Final Fantasy[]

  • Strangulation - Agent Arti strangled an Impostor!Stu with the towel he had worn into the mission. The body was then dumped in the Halo-verse (the part where multiplayer matches take place in, apparently), where it was shot at 30 times and subjected to the "usual treatment" employed by the victor (i.e., teabagging).

Five Nights at Freddy's[]

  • Animatronics - After being exorcised of Stufluence by the Puppet, the cast of the first game began to draw and quarter a Freddy Fazbear replacement. Before that actually happened, Golden Freddy bit his head off.

Half-Life[]

  • Headcrabs - Agents Titus and Murtagh threw the Stu, John Freeman, into a known headcrab nest (the bottom of the Ravenholm mineshaft), where he was bitten and poisoned to death—slowly.

  • Survival Mode - Agents Laura Dukes and Danny Richardson abandoned a kneecapped Sergeant Marcus Voyavich to face never-ending waves of Infected.

The Legend of Zelda[]

  • Din, Goddess of Power - Incinerated her replacement after Agent Ami freed her from a plothole.
  • Gerudo Desert - Agents Aster Corbett and Lore abandoned an intolerable Mary Sue in the middle of the unnavigable Gerudo Desert (Ocarina of Time canon), presumably to be smothered by a coming sandstorm, or eaten by hungry leevers. Or possibly both.
  • Epona's Song - Agents Aster Corbett and Lore used Link's horse call (Twilight Princess canon) to summon Link's horse Epona multiple times in the path of a self-insert Sue, trampling her to death.
  • Queen Gohma - Agents E.V.L. and Backslash accidentally portaled two Four Swords Sues into Queen Gohma's chamber (Ocarina of Time canon). The aftermath was exactly what you'd expect.

Mass Effect[]

  • Ardat Yakshi - Agents Mark Sienna, Maria Nightingale, and Florestan dropped a particularly lecherous Gary Stu off at Morinth's apartment. Morinth then proceeded to cash a rain check she had formed with the Stu, and melded with him. The meld killed him. It is unknown if melding with a Gary Stu affected Morinth in any way.
  • Thresher Maw - Agents Anneli Rodriguez, Xanthus Garkaran, and Cinderella left a particularly egregious Gary Stu on Tuchanka, where a thresher maw promptly ate him.

Ōkami[]

Pokémon[]

  • Arceus - In Agent Liz's first mission, a Replacement!Arceus was incinerated via meteor strike by the very pissed off real Arceus.
  • Cataclysmic battle - In their first mission, Agents Chris, Ami, and Falchion (with help from Miguel Correa) sent a Sue's parents (character replacements of Mew and Mewtwo) to the Cave of Origin, about a hundred million years BC. Groudon and Kyogre's Hoenn-shaking battle annihilated them.
  • Mewtwo - Chris threw the main Sue from the above mission through a portal to Cinnabar Island, around the time Mewtwo went nuts and destroyed the Pokémon Mansion.
  • Spacial Rend - Agents Soledad and Claire gave Luke to Palkia, who had been "forced to dance" earlier. It was Not Amused.

  • Repentant Author - Spidey3000 saw the error of his ways and blew his namesake Gary Stu's head off with a shotgun.

Tomb Raider[]

Touken Ranbu[]

  • Otegine - Even after a particularly loathsome Sue singlehandedly defeated the agents and rescuees coming to get her, she met her end when her Suefluence over canon wore off and she was stabbed in the back by the canon character she'd been relentlessly abusing up to that point.

Twisted Wonderland[]

  • Off With Your Head - Riddle's convenient unique magic has been utilized multiple times to disable Suvians' ability to use magic, allowing them to be killed by non-magical agents.
  • Overblot - Letting a magic-using Suvian overblot and die from it is expressly forbidden due to its dangerous nature and the time it takes to finally kill the target.

Web Originals[]

Jack[]

  • Drip Tiberius Rat - demonic personification of Lust from the webcomic Jack. Jackson Earl Simon was given to him by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove. Shortly afterwards, Drip was forbidden as an execution method and Laburnum and Foxglove were placed in therapy yet again.

No Rest for the Wicked[]

  • Red - of the webcomic No Rest for the Wicked. Hates "clever beasts" and therefore was a perfect execution method for the Cluny replacement of That Series, whom she chopped up with her axe, despite the fact that "clever beasts" was stretching a point with that particular character replacement. Used by Agents Manx and Shadow.

PPC-related[]

  • Agent Chakkik - Killed a replacement of Lord Voldemort with his acidic breath. He used the same means to dispose of the body of Chloe Riddle, the primary Sue, who had already been slain.
  • Agent Luxury - employed by Agents Jay and Acacia to dispose of the corpses of Aislinn the unicorn and Link. Best not to ask what she does with them.
    • Also suggested by agents Eagrus Khan and Cyba Zero as a way of killing a hormonal Gary Stu named Jack Russel. However, they rejected the idea due to believing that Jack would not only survive, but likely enjoy it.
  • Agent Velociripper - Devoured a pathetic, demeaning character replacement of Ash Ketchum.
  • Agent X - Tore Vearanniel apart with a maximum of pain and suffering.
  • Eaten by agent - while this was never seriously suggested, Acacia was tempted to eat Silavren Silvereyes because the former was disguised as a dragon and the latter was taking the form of a sparrow. Jay reminded Acacia that the consumption of Sues was not an acceptable assassination method (it's unknown if this meant it was outright illegal or was simply against their standards), and Acacia reluctantly agreed.
  • Fed to mini-Balrogs - Agents Dafydd and Selene fed Alumia to fourteen mini-Balrogs she created and the two that belonged to Dafydd and fellow DOGA agent Takua.
  • Flames - the PPC-verse version of flame emails, which actually are literal flames. Employed by Agents Jay and Acacia to kill Ariuella Shadowfox.
  • Reality Room - used by Agents Mara and Isaiah to make the fatal wounds ignored by Sue!Mara catch up with her.

Something Positive[]

  • Redneck Trees - of the webcomic Something Positive. Talking trees which use their roots to... you don't want to know. Employed by Agents Laburnum and Foxglove (Stormsong and Skyfire were present, but deny all responsibility) to kill two Pointless Rapist Bit-Characters by the names of Raketooth and Crabclaw from an installment of That Series. Officially forbidden as an execution method shortly after they used it.

Miscellaneous Others[]

  • Arrows, decapitation, and fire - suggested by Acacia as a way of killing a Sue named Alexis Moonbeam.
  • Decapitation, staking, and communion wafer - Jay suggested killing Alexis Moonbeam by decapitating her, staking her through the heart, and putting a communion wafer in her mouth. She then changed her mind, however, upon realising that she did not know where to find said wafer. Acacia added that staking through the heart was commonly associated with vampires anyway, and that Alexis was too saccharine to be undead.
  • Disbelief - when coming up with ways to kill Alexis Moonbeam, Jay suggested uttering the phrase "I don't believe in Mary Sues". However, when Acacia tried this, it did not work.
  • Emotional reversal - employed by The Fisherman as he fought back against Suvian mind control. Flooding his own mind with emotions opposed to those the Sue was forcing on him caused said being to destabilize and eventually explode.
  • Fed to Cute Animal Friend - Agent Randa fed Robin Hood Sandy Alis Alisandra to her pet wolf.
  • Mask of Corruption - from the Bionicle series. Agent Tawaki made rust rust away.
  • Masturbating - suggested by Agent Drake as a way to kill feline Sues ("Naomi says God kills a kitten every time I masturba—") during "For Your Eyes Only," a squick-laden fic in which the Naruto characters were transformed into hermaphroditic kittens. Vetoed by Naomi, Stormsong, and Skyfire on the grounds of good taste and the fact that "If you're physically capable of doing that after seeing this fic, you need professional help."
  • Trampled to death by a rabid Led Zeppelin audience - employed by Agent Trojanhorse to dispose of Kasia and Elleelen.
  • X-Bomb - From Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS and Wii U. Adam Squall/Terrordactyl and a replacement of Violet Parr capable of turning into a T. rex were both killed this way when Falchion inserted this bomb in Adam's body and fed him to her.
  • Thrown into a volcano - Used by Dawn McKenna and Zeb against a My Little Pony Sue named Tigerlily, and by Inasuke Akagashi and Urato Tomiyama against a Ratatouille Sue named Kelly and her unnamed mother (who was also a Sue).
