What makes you think that Russell? Personally I don't see any of them as a Mary Sue type character.

Actually, it's more correct to say Canon sue, if any canon character is a Sue. Tobias is the Woobie.

What is a Mary Sue character by the way. Someone who is too perfect? I don't think one who is too perfect gets trapped as a hawk...

I agree.  He's pretty close to the least mary-sue like character in the entire series.  Nothing EVER works out for him.

True.  He's kinda one-dimensional.  You pretty much know what to expect.

He's kind of the Shinji Ikari of the animorphs.  But more likeable.
