As far as I can think of, Spider-Man is the only well-known superhero who still has a hyphen in his name.
One word: Superman, Batman, …
I’m sure there are counter-examples, but I’m interested to note that the above is split on Marvel/DC lines.
Chris Ware has a character called Super-Man, who is superficially similar to DC’s Superman, but is unrelentingly more of a dick. See: Fantagraphics’ Acme Comics and Stories

To tell the truth, the only hyphen that I think most people notice in American comics is the one found in the various X-series, ex. X-Men, X-Factor, etc. Almost everyone I know would either write the names as two separate words or one word without a hyphen .

Shouldn’t that be Spinnemensch?
