Useless fact of the day: the Sega designers in charge of creating a rival for SuperMario chose Sonic... because they liked the word hedgehog. <3333

Does anyone know where the term "Mary Sue" came from? I don't mean the concept, I know all about that. But why do we call them Mary Sues?

Also, could someone please give me or link me to a complete list of the Sandman spin-off comics?

...if it helps though, I always thought it came from teenie american films.

Y'know, the fact that the perfect girl in them always used to have a hyphened name like mary-sue, sue-ellen etc etc.

I can ask round for you though...
