Lets see, he's a Jerk Sue who can do almost anything. No depth, no humanity, and certainly not funny. He's like the video game equivalent to a fan fiction character written by a hardcore Tim Burton fan.Travis Touchdown and Gene are better characters than Dante. And lets not forget Spidey.
Omnipotents can do everything but they are not counted as sues(as long as they are not the protagonist). being depthless goes for any character.
Here's a proper example why Dante is a sue
1. He's attractive and despite eating junk food doesn't every show any side effects from it.( Being Demon isn't an excuse). Did I mention he is the only attractive that gets to be shirtless while doing it. let's not forget he looks like a supermodel.
2. Two hot supermodel level chicks in his house.(Nero only has one and isn't much of a looker)
3. In DMC 4 he differently show Mary sueness steals the spot light from Nero how technically is the protagonist and main story revolves at that point. Nero initially hates him but harms up and likes him(very Mary sue like). Dante almost literary have nothing to do in DMC 4 but eye candy.
4. He kills the villians Nero couldn't kill and destroys the gates better than him
5. He gets the most weapons in the game than Nero.
6. Most of the villians in DMC 4 are more fixated on Dante than Nero,who the story is more or so about.
7. Dante despite geting punched in the face getting hacked, can still look gorgeous while doing it and after. And not even get any pernament damage(sure he has regen but still...)
8. He can get away with anything, without repercussion later.
9. His family are the only Demons that look human and they all are pretty looking, while the other demons are ugly monstrocities. Did I mention it was their human side that also gives them powers that the other demons don't have? Not mention the they don't have the weakness other demons have. and anyone that hates them are usaully evil and hateful of it?
There you go, some proper reasons( I think) Dante is Canon Sue. If I am wrong then feel free to correct it. I just wanted to see the excuses of him being a sue.
