Sorry, but your comparison of moe with superheroes is flawed. A better comparison would be "awesome". If I like a good superhero comic or film, I will usually call it awesome, because it invokes awesome feelings. But there's no "awesome" genre for obvious reasons, only specific genres (superhero, space opera, etc.) that usually are supposed to make the audience feel awesome. The same could be said for descriptions such as "sexy", "bittersweet", and "moe".
