Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bishop is shown returning to his original timeline, he is wearing the temporal band on his right arm. However, when he was sent back to his timeline at the end of the episode Days of Future Past: Part 2, he was not wearing the band because Rogue tore it off his arm and crushed it, which is what caused him to be sent back in the first place. (00:05:08)

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bishop is trying to disperse the mob, the circular patches on his shoulders are red with yellow borders, and a thin circle design is within the red circle itself.

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, Bishop's goatee alternates between fully covering his chin and having a small spot of exposed skin beneath the soul patch. Sometimes there is even the outline drawn of the exposed skin beneath the soul patch, but it is colored the same as the goatee. (00:05:10 - 00:20:05)

Continuity mistake: When Graydon Creed is first shown giving his testimony, in an overhead shot, we see the front row of the benches in front of him are filled with civilians. When the shot changes, the X-Men are now occupying the row on Creed's right. (00:14:34)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Other mistake: When Jean is trying to dodge Spiral's teleporting blast, she ends up tripping on a power cord running across the floor. An electronics store wouldn't have a power cord running across its floor for this very reason. They would be begging for a lawsuit if they did. Her foot is also closer to the wall in the first shot than in the second shot. (00:07:30)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Mojo first starts talking to Cyclops through the television screen, Jean is standing next to Cyclops on his right. She then disappears and reappears for the next several shots, and when Mojo is telling Cyclops that he's offering the X-Men a lifetime television contract, she walks up to Cyclops. (00:04:59 - 00:05:48)

Continuity mistake: The cube that Mojo has the X-Men captive inside is transparent on all sides, except for when Cyclops is saying "The X-Men don't fight without a reason." In this shot and the following one, the wall behind them, as well as the ceiling, are now paneled. (00:09:36)
