That is by boat, not over long distances of unforgiving wilderness terrain in an already sparesly populated country.

Super Mutants do have a set behaviour, that of the mentality of the strongest. The strongest Mutant is the leader of the group, whom can be challenged by another. If this Super Mutant was the only Mutant in the tribe then it leaves me with the question as to why in the world people were following him regardless. Also keep in mind that they are much more resistant to damage, hence a drop is unlikely to break his legs. The only way I can imagine that situation is that for someone reason they'd have to climb down something along the lines of a quarry to get to the "fighting platform."

All in all your character just gives me the vibe of a Mary Sue.

Was it? Was that ever specified? I must have missed the quest where Tenpenny told you about how he'd sailed over form England. I'm pretty sure there was no explanation given as to why there's an Irish lass in the Commonwealth. I'd imagine building a vessel capable of taking you all the way from England to America, in a post-apocalyptic society would require large amounts of resources and a large community of helpers. Just like getting from the commonwealth ro Canada under similar circumstances.  Traveling anywhere is dangerous in the fallout universe, you're correct, but there's strength in numbers, and if you're intelligent about how/where you travel I'd say its feasible to make it to Canada, in the same way that slaves made it form the deep South to Canada by foot. 

Yes Supermutants have a survival of the fittest mentality, but out-witting someone shows strength too. And as I said, this was a tribe of huamns with a single Super-Mutant overlord. 

Supermutants are strong, but even they can only withstand so much. If they fell down a very very deep hole, they'd still break their legs. Why did anyone follow Hitler? If you're in desperate circumstances and you find someone who can protect you, you'll follow them regardless. King Ice-Fist could offer the tribe the best form of protection at the time he became leader. After he died, Galhaena could offer her people the best form of protection, albiet through different methods. 

Do you know where the term Mary Sue comes from? A star tek fan fiction involving a woman who romances pretty much every member of the Starship enterprise. I don't remember ever writing about the Trade Queen shagging her way across the wasteland.
