I've yet to see it done well and I tend to avoid role-players who openly have their characters standing toe-to-toe with named antagonists irregardless of the poor excuse of them being summoned more than once.
You can play a powerful character who is interesting and compelling without being the hero of the hour. It's usually just needless fan-wank awkwardly inserted to thrust someone's self-insert far above everybody else. Worse yet it doesn't usually stop there - there's often other major liberties taken with such characters to the point where they're effectively just a walking parody.
