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.

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.

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.

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

Continuity mistake: When Spider-Man is in the lab analyzing Mary Jane's jacket for clues, the inside of the door to to the lab has the door knob on the right side. When Debra Whitman is trying to get in the lab, the door knob on the outside of the door is on the right side as well, when it should be on the left side. The inside knob also disappears when the security guards break the door down.

Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 5: The Price of Heroism - S5-E6

Other mistake: Two scenes in this episode are shown out of order. First we see Captain America and Spider-Man lying on the ground near the dimensional vortex at the mercy of Chameleon and the Red Skull, with Cap flicking a rock across the room to distract Chameleon so that he and Spider-Man can re-engage them in battle. Shortly after, we see Spidey and Cap arriving at the dimensional vortex to configure it to defeat Electro, with Chameleon and Red Skull attacking them once Spidey has finished with the vortex, revealing they had been lying in wait knowing full well someone would figure out that the vortex was the key to stopping Electro.

Spider-Man: Subtetly is not your strong point, is it?
Wolverine: Hey, can't even spell the word.
