Females
Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games) - She was protective, one who could love fiercely (non-romantically), and yes, she had emotions. But she was also angry, irritating, ridiculous, and I found it very difficult to pity her. She stomped all over the male characters and took independence to stupidity. She made so many awful decisions that I couldn't tolerate her.
Bella Swan (Twilight)- Bland, tasteless, ridiculous, unrealistic, a total anti-Sue and a Mary Sue all at once, and just cliché as well as tacky. She was stubborn, had no personality, and did absolutely nothing worthwhile.
Ever Bloom (Evermore) - Need I say more? Not only is her name a clue to her Mary Sueness, but all she does is reject Damen the entire first book and then falls in love with him three quarters to the end. She's depressed, snotty, catty, whiny, nosy, and worst of all, she doesn't listen to anyone. Each and every single person that warned her not to do something, she did it, and then got butthurt and ridiculously whiny when it backfired. She's predictable and a stock 'heroine'.
Massie Block (The Clique) - She's a rude, obnoxious, jealous, stupid, attention-whore of a pre-teen. She was unlikable and I didn't pity her once during the entire series. She was ridiculously dramatic and spoiled, who thrived off of other people's suffering.
Vee Sky (Hush, Hush) - At first, she was hilarious, sharp, quick-witted, and a huge comic relief in the first book. However, she soon turned into a whiny, unsupportive, spoiled, crude, awful, nasty bitch. She became selfish to the point of ridiculous, and was incredibly shallow.
Juliet Capulet (Romeo and Juliet) - She was a stupid, temperamental teenage girl who throws logic to the wind and is willing to throw everything away for Romeo. She's the original Bella Swan, only with more money and more personality.
Males
Romeo Montague (Romeo and Juliet) - He's the epitome of a Gary Stu. He was depressed, whiny, dramatic, and rushed everything. He didn't think clearly once during the play and would drop everything for Juliet. The original Edward Cullen, only dumber, non-vampire, and more vengeful.
Friar Lawrence (Romeo and Juliet) - He was everything a friar should not be. He helped the titular characters lie and deceive other people as well as encourage them to go behind everyone's backs and suggest methods of trickery to get Romeo and Juliet out of trouble, mainly to save his own rump.
Mr. Mellark (The Hunger Games) - He was weak-willed, and quite simply, allowing his wife to wrongly beat his children without intervention made me lose a lot of respect for him. I hated Romulus Thread, but he had a reason for being cruel (he was a Capitol man); what was Mr. Mellark's excuse?
Edward Cullen (Twilight) - Creepy, controlling, obsessive, possessive, wimpy, and other various things, he was a Gary Stu to the point of insanity. He never let anyone defy him and got frustrated easily when people had other view points. He whined a lot and had an unbelievable amount of self-loathing that I simply can't stomach.
James Potter I (Harry Potter) - He was a rude, vile, nasty, vicious, wicked, egotistical, arrogant bully and a complete tosser. He lacked respect for other people and he never grew up. He was an immature brat who rarely cared for other people.
Odysseus (The Odyssey) - He was a horrid, unfaithful man with a temper to boot. Not to mention, he was arrogant and selfish. He whined about wanting to go back home, yet stopped at a bunch of different places along the way for no reason other than curiosity. He can't really make up his mind.
I know it said character, but there are plenty of characters to loathe and I abhor all those listed above, though on different levels.

I don't personally care either way, but I've never heard much of an argument against Katniss before.
At least in Mockingjay. She pisses me off there.
