Spider-Man (1994)

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.

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.

Trivia: Chris Potter, who voiced Gambit, has said he always wanted to play Gambit in the films, stating that he looked like Gambit when he was younger. He was actually brought in to audition for the role of Cyclops for the first X-Men film, but thought to himself before the audition that he didn't want to play Cyclops and have to wear those "bad sunglasses."

Hands of the Mandarin: Part 2 - S2-E13

Other mistake: When the mountain bandits are galloping towards Rhodey, they get about 10 feet from him when he raises his War Machine armor above his head, spins it around a few times, and then knocks a couple bandits off their horses with it. Given the short distance the bandits were from Rhodey combined with the speed at which they were approaching him, they would have reached him before he could have begun spinning his armor around.

Hulk Buster - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When the Leader comes to, he looks over at the broken case that contained two of the Mandarin's rings, and sees only one, which Hulk picks up and then inadvertently teleports himself and Iron Man to another time with. When Rhodey tells Leader to bring them back, he says he can't do so without the other ring, only for Rhodey to bend down and pick up the second ring from the same spot the first ring was, even though it was shown to be missing moments earlier. (00:07:39 - 00:08:33)
