I Haven't been here in quite a while, but I came back for advise: If you kill a Sue, how much of the created fanon elements of the story must you destroy on the way out?

An example is this series of stories from the Disney's Gargoyles fandom

http://fanfic.gargoyles-fans.org/author.php?author=Amy%2BK.%2BCyrway%2B%2528Artemis%2BPrime%2529&sortorder=DESC

The stories open with the introduction of a horrendus Mary sue, but along the way, many other original characters make appearences, most of which I truly enjoy. These include an old fling of Petros Xanatos (defacto matriarch of a clan of young adults, one elder and an aged watchbeast), friends of Clan Winslow, and an enigmatic figure that has ties to the gargoyle Brooklyn.

In short, would it be possible to just off the Sue and leave everyone else to thir fanon devices?
