Other mistake: When Tony Stark is suiting up to rescue War Machine, the device he wears on his chest to keep the shrapnel out of his heart is missing. (00:01:52)

Iron Man (1994)

X-Men (1992)
Other mistake: When the helicopters are attacking Magneto, they are firing their guns at him, and then he destroys them, at which point you can see the occupants parachuting away at the same time the helicopters explode. There's no way they could have been operating the guns and then jumping out of the helicopter to safety in one second. (00:06:01)
20th Nov 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
Inhumans Saga: Part 1: And the Wind Cries Medusa - S2-E2
Other mistake: In the shot of the cat nibbling on a piece of cloth in the alley, the camera is out of focus for a few seconds. (00:00:23)
18th Nov 2020
X-Men (1992)
Night of the Sentinels: Part 2 - S1-E2
Other mistake: When the Sentinel throws Wolverine over the trees, you can hear him crash to the ground as soon as his body disappears from view. The ground in the area is flat with no tall hills, so Wolverine would require another second or two after clearing the treeline to crash to the ground. (00:10:24)
15th Nov 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
And a Blind Man Shall Lead Them - S2-E1
Other mistake: When the detonator in the elevator is counting down from 15 seconds, it counts down at a consistent rate until it goes from 6 to 5, in which case it takes about twice as long as the other intervals. (00:15:36)
9th Nov 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Other mistake: When the heroes are looking over the footage of their fight with Annihilus, Reed has been drawn twice. He is both at the control panel, and behind himself and to the right. The one that is not at the control panel was meant to be Johnny. (00:10:01)
9th Nov 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Other mistake: When Reed punches the dinosaur, he transforms his hands into what looks like the end of a sledgehammer. While Reed can change the shape of his hands with his stretching ability, he does not have the power to change the color of his skin in the process. (00:03:57)
9th Nov 2020
Wolverine and the X-Men (2008)
Other mistake: When the Brotherhood steals Senator Kelly's Hummer, the Blob is sitting in the back. Blob is so heavy that he leaves holes in the ground when he walks, but the back end of the Hummer doesn't stoop closer to the ground when he's in it. (00:11:54)
9th Nov 2020
Wolverine and the X-Men (2008)
Other mistake: When Rogue is confronted by the Brotherhood after she absorbs Toad's powers, the Blob somehow walks up right behind her and only made two audible footsteps. The street Rogue was walking down was long, and Blob wasn't in view behind her a couple of shots before. Even if he emerged from an alley, he is so heavy that more than two of his footsteps would have been audible. (00:08:41)
25th Oct 2020
Wolverine and the X-Men (2008)
Other mistake: When Beast is flipping through his notes to try to determine what caused the explosion at the mansion a year earlier, you can see all the pages are blank. (00:13:50)

Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
Other mistake: When Alicia takes the grape soda out of the fridge, she pours it into her cup without first opening the can. If the can was already opened, then its contents would have spilled out from oscillation when Thing was dancing with the fridge before he set it down. (00:03:05)
23rd Oct 2020
Spider-Man (1994)
Secret Wars, Chapter 3: Doom - S5-E11
Other mistake: 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. However, in Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom had a German accent, and in this episode he has a Russian accent.
19th Oct 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
The Mask of Doom: Part 3 - S1-E10
Other mistake: After Thing breaks the chains he, Reed and Johnny were bound to, Johnny's cufflinks simply slip off his hands. Breaking chains wouldn't magically cause the cufflinks to now be able to slip off a person's hands. And if Johnny was able to slip them off anyway, he wouldn't have needed to wait for Thing to break the chains to do so. (00:14:19)
14th Oct 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
The Mask of Doom: Part 2 - S1-E9
Other mistake: When Johnny is rapidly spinning to cause an updraft, an overhead shot shows the rapid movement of his arms to be both in his Human Torch form, and in his costumed form. (00:12:08)
14th Oct 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
The Mask of Doom: Part 2 - S1-E9
Other mistake: When the ski patrol is looking down at what they believe to be the dead bodies of the Von Dooms, one patrol member has some scruff around his chin that disappears when he smiles. (00:07:36)
14th Oct 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
The Mask of Doom: Part 2 - S1-E9
Other mistake: When Reed turns around and sees the huge spiked ball rolling towards him, Johnny and Thing, you can see that it is only a few dozen feet away from them at most, and is rolling towards them rapidly. Despite this, it takes more than 20 seconds for it to reach where they were standing. (00:05:00 - 00:05:23)
13th Oct 2020
The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Other mistake: This show is in the same continuity as the Fantastic Four series from around the same time. However, in Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom has a German accent, and in this episode, he has a slight British accent.
13th Oct 2020
Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
The Mask of Doom: Part 1 - S1-E8
Other mistake: When Reed, Johnny and Thing come upon the hall or mirrors, Reed and Johnny do not cast any reflections until Reed notices that the mirrors are about to attack them with lasers. (00:19:16)

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.
