Mary Sue is definitely one of the ways to go(remember my example of SSJ 1 Million Goku). I think a creative criticism of the actual AU needs to be done as well. The character, while not necessarily being a Mary Sue, could also come from a story that isn't appealing narrative-wise. An AU needs to stand aside from its original counterpart in some way, and not just feel like a pale copy/outlandish reimagining.
