Squirrel Girl is the original "Mary Sue". That's actually one of her powers; she has the ability to defeat enemies that should be able to "one shot" her.
She's also Danielle Cage's babysitter in the comics.

She's not a Mary Sue. Like, at all. That's a complete misuse of the term, so let's review...
Now, Squirrel Girl is not fanfic, is not an idealized version of the author nor is a stand-in for the audience, and does not exist for wish fulfillment. She is a parody. The fact she can defeat any character in the Marvel Universe, but only off panel, is not really wish fulfillment as she's not the baddest arse on the block, it is a running joke about the power of silliness defeating the rules of the established universe. And no one dreams of talking to squirrels.
If we're gonna deride a character, at least do it right. Also, she's funny as hell. So many puns.
