The Armor Wars: Part 1 - S2-E8

Factual error: When Blacklash and Blizzard have hijacked the airplane, all the passengers are wearing their oxygen masks, indicating that the plane is at a high altitude. When Iron Man crashes through the window of the cockpit to take out Blizzard, there is no corresponding depressurization. (00:12:59 - 00:13:29)

The Armor Wars: Part 1 - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When H.O.M.E.R. begins speaking to Iron Man during his fight with Crimson Dynamo, he is appearing on a monitor on Iron Man's right gauntlet. When Iron Man is then shown flying downwards towards Crimson Dynamo, the monitor is now gone. (00:02:02)

Hulk Buster - S2-E11

Other mistake: When Hulk throws the ring into the volcano, it is rapidly approaching the lava before Iron Man dives after it and successfully catches it before it lands in the lava. At the rate the ring was falling, it would have landed in the lava well before Iron Man could swoop down and catch it. (00:09:08)

Show generally

Plot hole: This series is in the same continuity as the other Marvel animated series that aired around the same time - X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Fantastic Four - by virtue of each aforementioned show crossing over with at least one of the other shows. However, the origin of the Leader in this show is inconsistent with his origin in Iron Man. In the Iron Man episode "Hulk Buster," which originally aired on February 10, 1996, Samuel Sterns became the Leader after a barrel of gamma waste fell over and spilled its contents onto him. In this show, which didn't air its first episode until September 8, 1996, Samuel Sterns became the Leader after he sabotaged Bruce Banner's gamma bomb test and fell into a pit of radioactive waste caused by the bomb. Rick Jones' role in Banner being exposed to the gamma bomb is different as well. In Iron Man, he parks his jeep in the test area and casually plays a harmonica. Here, he is riding his motorcycle through the test area and crashes, and is unable to restart his motorcycle in order to get clear of the blast.

Empowered - S2-E10

Other mistake: When H.O.M.E.R. is bringing up the map to show where MODOK's likely location is, the states are so crudely drawn that they shouldn't be considered to be a legitimate map. The four corners of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona don't line up, Utah is almost entirely square-shaped, Nevada looks like it has been smashed between California and Utah, and the eastern part of New Mexico has been elongated. (00:08:52)

The Armor Wars: Part 1 - S2-E8

Other mistake: In both establishing shots of the wellness center, the water on the fountain in the background is not cascading down. It is just hanging over the edges of each level, resembling icicles. When Iron Man knocks Controller into the fountain, the water is moving properly. (00:08:47 - 00:11:25)

Doomsday - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Reed is saying "With Doom, what you see is rarely what you get," the lighting and shadow on his left ear keeps changing in the same shot, without any other part of his body changing. (00:21:02)

Doomsday - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Reed is apologizing to Thing for using him as a guinea pig, he is standing next to a two seat sofa, which is in front of window. When Thing takes a swing at Reed, he is now standing next to a single seat chair with no window behind it. (00:13:35)

Doomsday - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Doom defeats Thing, he leaves him in an immobile state, telling him he won't be able to move or speak for the rest of his life. When Johnny and Crystal find Thing moments later, his fingers are in a different position than they were when he was first turned into a living statue. (00:07:05 - 00:08:00)

Doomsday - S2-E13

Trivia: After Silver Surfer passes by the Marvel Comics office, two other characters fly by his path, while a third lands on the building on the right. The two that fly by are Darkhawk and Justice, and the other is Speedball. All three are members of the superhero team New Warriors. (00:01:00)

Doomsday - S2-E13

Trivia: When Silver Surfer is departing Africa, you can very briefly see a woman jumping out of the ocean and back in with a couple of dolphins. This woman is Namorita, cousin of Namor, who appeared as a foe-turned-friend to the Fantastic Four early in the series. (00:00:50)

Trivia: The first three letters on the license plate of Q's car are "LRY." This is a reference to "Larry," an imaginary character from the TV series that Joe is usually calling out to or frantically searching for.

Doomsday - S2-E13

Trivia: The X-Men's Blackbird jet makes two appearances in this episode. First it is shown attacking Dr. Doom after he traps the Avengers inside a bubble, and then again it is shown in outer space when Johnny is trying to destroy Doom with a supernova blast. (00:11:34 - 00:16:02)

Doomsday - S2-E13

Other mistake: When Dr. Doom glides into Silver Surfer's cell, Surfer is resting on his hands and knees, and the surfboard somehow gets under his hands and left knee without lifting them off the ground. (00:15:15)

Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 5: The Price of Heroism - S5-E6

Plot hole: This series is in the same continuity as the other Marvel animated series from around the same time - X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and Fantastic Four - by virtue of each aforementioned show crossing over with at least one of the others. This episode, which originally aired on October 17, 1997, establishes that Captain America had spent the last 50 years locked in another dimension with Red Skull, and the episode ends with he and Red Skull once again becoming trapped in the aforementioned dimension. However, the final episode of Fantastic Four, entitled "Doomsday," which originally aired on February 24, 1996, features a cameo by Captain America in the present day, attempting to stop a rampaging Dr. Doom.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: George Buza, who voiced Beast, never watched any episodes of this show until 2019, more than 20 years after the show ended. He finally decided to watch them at the insistence of Cal Dodd, who voiced Wolverine, because Buza was scheduled to be a guest at his first comic con, and decided he needed to have knowledge of the show, knowing that fans at conventions would be asking him questions about it.

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the three horsemen are climbing onto their mechanical horses, Famine's horse is in the middle, and Pestilence's horse is on the right. Once all three have all been individually shown to be mounting their horses, Famine and Pestilence have swapped places. (00:06:08)

Phaneron ★

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Rogue, Cyclops, Jean Grey and Xavier are first shown in the bar, the glasses in front of Rogue and Cyclops contain green liquid. When Cyclops is consoling Rogue, the liquid is now blue. When the shot changes, the liquid in the glass in front of Rogue is now green again. (00:03:49 - 00:04:18)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the Lady Gardener kills the rose, it droops down almost to the surface of the table. When the shot changes, it is now only drooping about midway down its vase. (00:03:56)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Warren Worthington is strapped to the table, the arm and leg restraints are gold. After the table has been lowered, the restraints are now silver. (00:02:29 - 00:02:56)
