Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 5: Mutants Revenge - S2-E5

Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 5: Mutants Revenge - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Beast is holding Wolverine above the vat of chemicals, the way they are gripping hands alternates between Wolverine gripping Beast's closed fist and their thumbs overlapping each others' knuckles. (00:11:00)
Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 5: Mutants Revenge - S2-E5
Revealing mistake: The same two guards are repeatedly shown trying to stop Wolverine and Spider-Man inside Landon's complex, despite the fact that Wolverine and Spider-Man are repeatedly shown dispatching them/knocking them out in other rooms within the complex. (00:05:20 - 00:08:15)

Sins of the Fathers Chapter 7: The Man Without Fear - S3-E7
Plot hole: They forgot Daredevil can sense when someone's lying, one of his powers. So, he should've known Spider-Man was telling him the truth about the computer disk.

Continuity mistake: When talking with his father and Smythe, Richard Fisk's grey pants briefly turn into the same color as his suit jacket.
Continuity mistake: Kraven's arm band that he wears on his upper right arm switches to his left one briefly after he fights Spider-Man for the first time.

Continuity mistake: Mysterio sounds cold and calculating in this episode. Yet in later ones he sounds different despite being voiced by the same actor.
The Sting of the Scorpion - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: The Scorpion gets bigger here, his eyes turn yellow, he gets fangs, his skin becomes sickly looking, and his fingertips resemble claws. Yet later on in later episodes he's missing all of that.
Partners in Danger Chapter 9: The Haunting of Mary Jane - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: Mary Jane's costume's gloves come and go between shots in Miranda's hideout.
Partners in Danger Chapter 9: The Haunting of Mary Jane - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: Miranda's pants legs go from both being torn to just the left one then the right one during her flashback.
Sins of the Fathers Chapter 7: The Man Without Fear - S3-E7
Revealing mistake: During the fight with Kingpin recycled footage is used from Season 1 Episode 7 Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous. It's obvious when you see the background looking like the warehouse along with Doc Ock's machine behind Spider-Man.

Revealing mistake: When Spider-Man is web-slinging with Stan Lee, they pass the same group of buildings twice, revealing it to be recycled animation.
Spider Wars, Chapter 2: Farewell Spider-Man - S5-E13

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
Continuity mistake: When the group of Spider-Men are observing the Green Goblin and the Kingpin's henchmen from inside the ventilation shaft, the outside edge of the shaft cover is first shown to be on the wall outside of the shaft, and then inside the shaft itself when the Armored Spider-Man pulls the cover off.
Answer: In the comics, Hobgoblin's true identity was kept a mystery for a long time intentionally and while many fans deduced it was Kingsley, and creator Roger Stern was leaning that way, Stern left the series in 1984. In 1987 Hobgoblin's identity was revealed to be Ned Leeds and then Macendale became Hobgoblin. It wasn't until 1997 that Sterns wrote the mini-series "Hobgoblin Lives" and retconned Kingsley as the original Hobgoblin.
