Ayn Rand coined the term, I believe. It refers to using ideas in your argument that assume the validity of the idea to argue against the idea. Like as trying to use a logical argument to make a case that logic is not valid. I'm not sure the cartoon universe idea itself qualifies as a stolen concept in this case, who thought of something first is irrelevant.
Usually 'stolen concept fallacies' are better broken down into more recognized fallacies, such as special pleading; like the argument that everything requires a cause; but not God.
