Correct. It’s confusing because most other man-suffixed superheroes do not have hyphens (e.g. Superman) or the hyphen was removed prior to hitting mainstream culture (e.g. Batman).

Marvel tends to use hyphens or spaces (Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Iron Man) while DC usually does compound words (Superman, Batman, Aquaman, although Wonder Woman). I could find no compound wordman superheroes in the lists of Marvel superheroes I found, but there are some -man and (space)man characters in the DC list.
