Both are generic enough terms that can be used in other similar media. So in order to trademark their specific version, Marvel has to put their name with it. It's similar to what Hasbro has done with some Transformer characters (except they use Autobot or Decepticon, usually). Also the same reasoning for why certain G.I.Joe characters are now referred to by their file name and their code name is treated more like a nickname (i.e. Conrad "Duke" Hauser).

Gods, no! Junior should have never been made. I wanted to burn my eyes out and scrub my brain with bleach after watching only part of Junior. But I don't think a sequel to Twins would have been much better. Never was a fan of Arnold the comedian.
