My cousin keeps calling every superhero movie a 'comic book movie' even when it's not based on anything, and it drives me nuts.

Just hit him with the facts next time. Like if he calls The Incredibles a comic book movie, point out it was an original Pixar script. Or mention how Unbreakable wasn't based on comics either. Sometimes people just say it out of habit without thinking.

Ugh, I just started calling them "superhero flicks" and he picked it up.

Yeah, that "out of habit without thinking" thing is everywhere. People do it with music genres or food labels too, just lumping stuff together because it's easier.
