Morphology

Spider-Man = spider + man (transparent) = spider + man

The franchise name is a direct extension of the character name and remains interpretable as 'spider' + 'man' in a branding context.

Etymology

Spider-Man became the name not just for the hero but for the whole series of films, shows, toys, and other media about him, so saying Spider-Man can mean the character or the franchise of stories and products about that character.
