A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Other mistake: During a flashback, Rogue is shown absorbing Pyro's mutant power and then creating fire out of thin air. However, Pyro does not have the ability to create fire, he can only control it. That's why he wears a flamethrower on the back of each hand.

Obsession - S3-E10

Audio problem: When Professor X says "For centuries it was though to be a myth..." his mouth is completely closed for the words "For centuries it." (00:06:15)

No Mutant Is an Island - S5-E4

Character mistake: When Cyclops demonstrates his power to Rusty to show him that he's also a mutant, he shoots an optic blast at a building and blows a gigantic hole in its facade. While the building had the appearance of being condemned, Cyclops had no way of knowing whether there were squatters inside. He could have seriously injured or killed several people for all he knew. (00:07:35)

Obsession - S3-E10

Other mistake: When Archangel fires a barrage of razors at Apocalypse, Apocalypse forms his hands into shields and deflects them, but in the same shot, a second barrage of razors magically appear out of the shields and are fired back at Archangel. (00:16:55)

Obsession - S3-E10

Other mistake: When the ship is counting down from 5 to 1 to signal when the bomb will detonate, it actually takes 5.5 - 6 seconds for the 5 seconds to elapse. Given that it's an advanced computer doing the countdown, it should be more accurate. (00:12:25)

X-Men mistake picture

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Factual error: At the end of the episode when Carol Danvers is shown comatose, there is an EEG machine next to her bed. This machine monitors brain activity and uses electrodes on the patient's head in doing so. She has no electrodes placed on her head, and the machine isn't detecting activity in her brain. (00:20:37)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Other mistake: When Xavier is telling Moira about how he and Lilandra were attacked, Moira dismisses his claim, reasoning that he came to her for help because he could no longer trust his own mind, and that no-one else had been in his room. She witnessed him flying out of a window, and he's a paraplegic. Unless she thinks he somehow catapulted himself out the window, she shouldn't have been so dismissive of his claim. Not to mention the damage to the room, including the bed being thrown against the TV. (00:05:21)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Xavier asks Magneto how much further they have to reach the top of the cliff, Magneto tells him he would rather not know, suggesting they still have a long way to go. However, in the wideshot of the sky-riders flying in to attack the two, you can see Magneto is about three times the length of his own body from the top, and according to the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series," Magneto is 6 feet tall. This means he is only about 20 feet, give or take, from the top, which isn't all that far in terms of climbing a cliff. (00:02:44)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Character mistake: When wondering how close they are to the top of the cliff, Xavier asks Magneto "How much further?" The word "further" is used for non-measurable or figurative advancement. He should have asked how much farther, as that refers to actual distance between objects. An educated man like Xavier would certainly know the difference between the two. (00:02:44)

Suggested correction: While "farther" is used for physical distance, further can be too, especially in British English. Farther also tends to be used for a measured physical distance, so if the actual distance isn't known, further can be used. What Charles said is grammatically correct.

Mojovision - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When Mojo's studio audience is cheering after he says "I give it two flippers up," you can tell by each character's celebratory movements that it is just a reverse of the shot where the audience was first shown earlier in the episode. (00:07:50 - 00:15:23)

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

More trivia for X-Men

Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
