SuperGlue is a brand name for a type of cyanoacrylate glue.  It is one of the
most common brands for that glue, so much so that it's name is used as a
moniker for all glues of that type regardless of brand.  Sort of the
"Kleenex" phenomenon.

Among modelers, the glue is often referred to as "CA glue" (for
CyanoAcrylate).  Model shops generally carry the higher quality stuff, more
varied formulations for special properties (viscosity, curing time, etc.),
and useful accessories (cure accellerators, for example).
