I like the note at the end of the article: > See Also: Mary Sue.

  Doesn’t feel like the same thing. Calling someone a generalist doesn’t imply they have no faults or shortcomings— which is what a Mary Sue is.

    It seems to me that "generalist" is not a strong enough word to capture the trope being described. I consider myself a generalist, but this is a different level. From the article: * "a form of polymath" * "Batman, for example ... as having achieved the peak-human possibility in things physical and intellectual"
