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.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: It was a part of the character's redesign. The writer of Spider-Man, John Semper Jr, disliked the Fantastic Four cartoon to the point that he not only changed characters' designs but their voice actors as well.

Redesigning the character is not a valid correction, because it still creates a contradiction within the shared universe. Even under the pretense of redesigning the character due to not liking the previously established version, it would still be a deliberate mistake.

Spider-Man (1994)

Trivia: The final five episodes of this series are somewhat of a precursor to both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The Secret Wars episodes featured a large crossover with characters from other established Marvel TV shows from the same time period, including X-Men, Iron Man, and Fantastic 4. The two-part series finale featured Spider-Man teaming up with several Spider-Men from different realities in order to stop a catastrophe that could affect all realities.

Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 1: The Insidious Six - S2-E1

Stupidity: When the Kingpin is breaking all of the supervillains out of prison, Shocker, Scorpion and Mysterio all have their costumes, weapons and gadgets conveniently stored at the prison, which makes their escape easier. Surely a prison wouldn't keep superpowered weapons and costumes in the same place where the inmates are being held. They would be stored in a federal evidence locker.

Spider Wars, Chapter 1: I Really, Really Hate Clones - S5-E12

Character mistake: When the group of Spider-Men are breaking into the Kingpin's building through the front door, Octo-Spidey uses a laser to cut a circle in the door and then proceeds to tear the door off its hinges with his robotic arms. Since he was just able to simply tear the door off, there was no need for him to cut the hole in the door in the first place. It's not like he needed to reach through the hole with one of the arms to unlock it from the other side.

Trivia: Madame Web is voiced by Stan Lee's wife Joan. When Madame Web appears before Stan Lee in the series finale, he asks Spider-Man who that exotic lady is. When Spider-Man and Madame Web are talking about Stan Lee in the final scene of the series, Madame Web remarks that she thinks Stan Lee is truly special.

Spider Wars, Chapter 2: Farewell Spider-Man - S5-E13

Character mistake: When Stan Lee is asking Spider-Man what he plans to do after saving all of reality, he responds by saying to find the real Mary Jane. Moments later in the final scene, Madame Web tells Spider-Man that she is taking him to find the real Mary Jane, which elicits an incredulous response from Spider-Man, as if he didn't know that was already the plan.

Spider Wars, Chapter 2: Farewell Spider-Man - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Scarlet Spider is saying that they need to destroy the bomb, you can see one of the arms and tattered costume of the Man-Spider behind him, even though the Beyonder had already teleported Man-Spider to another dimension. It appears to be a shot from Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider's fight with Man-Spider that wasn't used and ended up being repurposed, rather than taking the time to animate a new shot altogether.

Spider Wars, Chapter 1: I Really, Really Hate Clones - S5-E12

Trivia: After the Scarlet Spider tells Spider-Man the convoluted details of his reality and how he isn't sure whether he is a clone of the Spider-Man of his own reality or vice versa, Spider-Man responds by saying it all sounds like a bad comic book plot. This is a reference to the Spider-Man comics that featured a similar plotline and was much derided by fans.

Spider-Man mistake picture

Secret Wars, Chapter 3: Doom - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: After the Beyonder ends the war, he teleports everyone to a floating chess board in space, with Dr. Doom lying near the edge. When the shot changes, Doom has moved closer to the middle of the board. He is unconscious so he couldn't have moved.

Secret Wars, Chapter 3: Doom - S5-E11

Revealing mistake: After Dr. Doom has stolen the Beyonder's powers, he demonstrates the powers to Ben Grimm in his throne room by teleporting Red Skull, Dr. Octopus and Smythe off the planet. Next he teleports all the heroes to his throne room, and the shot of all the heroes is from two episodes prior when all the heroes were battling the Lizard. This shot of the heroes also includes Ben Grimm in form as the Thing, meaning Ben Grimm was in two places at once. Spider-Man, the Lizard and the rest of the Fantastic 4 were also already prisoners in Doom's castle, which means they were all in two places at once as well.

The Return of Hydro-Man: Part 1 - S5-E7

Other mistake: When Spider-Man catches up to Mary Jane and Hydro-Man at the foundry, he webs up Hydro-Man's left wrist. When the shot changes to Spider-Man landing, he is not holding onto the web-line. When the shot changes back to Hydro-Man, his arm his pulled with the web-line remaining taut, even though Spider-Man is not holding the web. If Hydro-Man was moving his arm on his own, then the web-line would be slack.
