"Kid Dynamo" is a novel-length story in the X-Men universe, written by Connie H. It was originally published in the X-APA apazine in the late '80s; the author posted it to Usenet in 1992. The story became so well-known it had a section to itself on the rec.arts.comics.marvel.xbooks FAQ (Item #8). Over twenty years later, it is still being recommended as how to write an original female character who by rights should be a Mary Sue, but is still an engaging character.
