Just call it what it is. You play on a higher level, you put people on a low one. There's no way Goliath loses to David.
Wait until she meets Buff van Darkblade, Last of the Vampire Kings. He will cleave her in twain with SlaughterRoar, his greatsword forged from the bones of a god, heated by the fires of hell, stoked by the last breath of a dying world.
The sound of it sliding from it's scabbard is enough to drive lesser mortals mad.

Us NPCs have made it this far on our own, I think we'll be just fine. Just don't whine when we in turn treat you like a ridiculous, delusional asshat that believes themselves to be bad fanfic-tier levels of powerful.
Not that there's anything wrong with playing an amped-up, powerful character, but I think I could do without that high-and-mighty attitude, thanks.

That's not an excuse, but I will say that I think this notion of the overpowered Mary Sue characters being a scourge upon the community is kind of a strawman. To be perfectly honest, I see far less of those players than I do players who elect to be extraordinarily nitpicky about every character that isn't their own.

These things never end well once folks stop being civil (read: constant derailing) so I'll be locking this here.
Further discussion can be had in new topics.
