The phrase "Super Hero" is jointly trademarked by Marvel and DC Comics...
"Comics Creators Search for 'Super Hero' Alternative" by Neda Ulaby c2006 NPR

Marvel and DC have decided to enforce their trademark of "Super Hero"(tm). I would advise that anyone with any Poser or other content featuring the words "Super Hero"(tm) purge those files immediately. Such material including those featuring "Superhero" and "Super-Hero" are in serious violation of a trademark duly registered by two responsible corporate citizens. It is illegal as well as unethical to use materials that violate the trademark protection afforded these corporations in our civil society. Leaving any such materials on your hard drive or in your archives would only invite the illegal miss-use of these materials by others with less moral or legal sense then yourselves. Please notify anyone who you believe may possesss such illegal materials so they will be able to protect both themselves and Marvel and DC in this matter.
