Video Mania - S3-E6

Plot hole: The plot for this episode is that Mark reluctantly tries out video games for the first time and soon becomes addicted to them. However, the season 1 episode "All in the Family" showed him to already be an avid gamer.

The Cure - S1-E9

Plot hole: Towards the end of this episode, Jean Grey nearly falls to her death when a concussion blast from Cable's gun knocks her off a cliff, only for her to be saved at the last moment by Rogue. Apparently Jean Grey and the writers for the episode forgot that her telekinetic powers give her limited flight ability as well as the ability to slow falls, both of which she has demonstrated in other episodes.

No Mutant Is an Island - S5-E4

Plot hole: When Killgrave's bodyguard dumps Cyclops face down in the pool and leaves him for dead, it is night time. When Sarah is shown to have successfully resuscitated Cyclops, it is broad daylight. If Cyclops had been floating face down in the pool for several hours then he would surely be dead. No amount of CPR would have brought him back. (00:15:45)

Cold Comfort - S3-E15

Plot hole: This episode showed that Beast was an original member of the X-Men and also depicted the original X-Men battling Magneto. However, when Magneto attempted to break Beast out of jail in the season 1 episode "Enter Magneto", Beast said to him "I don't believe we've met. Magneto I presume."

Secrets, Not Long Buried - S4-E15

Plot hole: At the speed Cyclops is traveling in his mini-jet when he passes Watchdog's tower, he would have been long out of range before Watchdog could force him out of the air into a crash landing, considering that Watchdog had to take time to alert Solarr of Cyclops' presence and be ordered to knock him out of the air. (00:02:30)

Love in Vain - S4-E14

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8

Plot hole: Beast comments on Mr. Sinister's new-found time travel abilities. However, Beast has no way of knowing that Mr. Sinister is time traveling. He only knows that Mr. Sinister is using portals, which could just as well be for teleportation. (00:18:40)

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8

Plot hole: Gambit remarks that Shard is his kind of time traveler. However, Shard was inside the mansion and Gambit was outside when he said that, and he had never previously met her, so there was no way he could have known who she was without having even seen her or even that she was a time traveler. (00:17:20)

Sanctuary: Part 1 - S4-E6

Plot hole: Some of the footage Magneto is showing the delegates at the U.N. meeting includes footage Magneto could not possibly have had access to even if such footage existed, such as the X-Men having mission briefings in the War Room, the Morlocks living in the sewers or Warren Worthington emerging from being buried under several feet of snow at his secluded home in the mountains. (00:03:10 - 00:04:05)

Phaneron ★

Sanctuary: Part 1 - S4-E6

Plot hole: There's no way Magneto could have heard the Genoshan delegate's comment about managing mutant powers as a resource. Magneto was outside of the building when he said it, and Magneto's powers do not include a superhuman sense of hearing. (00:02:05)

One Man's Worth: Part 2 - S4-E2

Plot hole: Nimrod and Fitzroy could not possibly have footage of Xavier's assassination because they both traveled back to their own timeline before the bomb went off. (00:08:35)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Plot hole: Magneto states that he went to Washington, DC to witness Senator Kelly's assassination. But Magneto had no way of knowing about the assassination plot. Mystique was the one who was attempting to assassinate Kelly, and Apocalypse was the one who carried out the order. At this point in the show, Magneto had not worked with either Mystique or Apocalypse, and it's highly doubtful that Mystique would leak the plot, since it was supposed to be covert.

The Dark Phoenix (4): The Fate of the Phoenix - S3-E14

Plot hole: Jean Grey decides to wear her original X-Men uniform in her trial-by-combat. But how could she possibly have had the uniform with her? She wasn't wearing it when the X-Men were suddenly and unexpectedly abducted by the Shi'ar and taken into outer space, and the Shi'ar weren't about to let Jean go back home and grab it. (00:07:10)

The Dark Phoenix (3): The Dark Phoenix - S3-E13

Plot hole: When the X-Men are on the roof of the Hellfire Club confronting the Dark Phoenix, Beast suddenly has some kind of hi-tech backpack-like device, despite being held captive without it in the previous episode, and never shown having one when he entered the club in the episode that preceded that one. (00:03:00)

The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Plot hole: Rogue is able to punch Gladiator and knock him off his feet, yet in the previous episode when the Juggernaut punched Gladiator he didn't even budge. The Juggernaut is a lot stronger than Rogue, so either Juggernaut's punch should have affected Gladiator or Rogue's punch should not have. (00:17:55)
