You can check out the infographics they put together below.

In a survey, over 3,000 total respondents were asked whether a specific name or group of names belonged to either a Marvel Comics character, or a notable racehorse. The results show that most people, even sports fans, can’t tell the difference…and that racehorse names are oddly similar to comic book superheroes and supervillains.

In fact, when determining which names to use for the survey, they told us, it was actually surprisingly difficult to find a name that wasn’t BOTH a comic book character and racehorse name.
