Um...I've got two. We'll start with the sacriledgous and go to the sadly canon.

Name: Jesus of Nazareth (Christ)
Fandom: This one's actually getting the ref from an HP/Bible crossover in the OMGLWTFWTPTLOLBBQ? category.
Title of work and URL: Jesus Goes to Hogwarts.
What makes this a Stu: Just the WTF-ness of the idea of sending Jesus (the Good Lord, of all people!) being made a Stuish fanfic character. Might want to check out the Pottersues entry.

Name: Ginny Weasley
Fandom: HP
Title of Work (professional): Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling. Yes, the published version, not one of the thousands of fanfic versions.
What makes this character a Sue: Fredina/Georgette syndrome, being a frickin' chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, fangirling Harry since PS/SS, and generally being annoying. No wonder Michael Corner dumped her for Cho Chang of all people.

Bwhaha! After the long run of canon!sues/stus before your post, I saw "Jesus of Nazareth" and thought, "Well yeah, he is God's self-insert... and he's perfect and kind and never does anyone any harm... everyone except the bad guys and the terminally misguided love him... he's murdered for, essentially, being a good guy. Has superhuman powers, and in the end ascends into Heaven to be seated at the right hand of God! Beat that, Ilthuvenia Moonravynsdaughter!

	Wait. Are you nominating Jesus from the bible, or Jesus from this fanfic? I'm confused. (Reply to this)(Parent)
