Wait, who owns super hero?
Both Marvel and DC. Look it up on Wikipedia for more details.
How did they both end up owning it? I checked Wikipedia but don't see where it explains how it happened.
I did a search and found this article that goes into more detail. They applied for a joint ownership trademark to basically stop anyone else from using the term super hero in books, movies, games, toys and more, including shoes?! Pretty interesting.
Basically they were like why be dicks to each other when we can be dicks to everyone?
