Marvel and DC lose trademark on "superhero"

I’m glad Marvel and DC don’t get to claim “superhero” as a trademark but I’m not sure I agree with the petitioners’ side either:

It seems like “superbabies,” like many other terms that use the “super-“ prefix, isn’t really a novel phrase deserving of trademark protection. For example, it was the title of one of those godawful-looking “talking babies and/or pets” movies from the early aughts.
