Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is heading to the store, the driveway of the mansion is shown to have a roundabout by the front door, and a small path leading to the front gate. However, the previous episode 'Til Death Do Us Part: Part 1 showed the driveway was a winding path longer than what is shown here, and there was also no roundabout. (00:06:04)

Repo Man - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Xavier and Magneto are trying to escape from Vertigo, Xavier cuts the ropes of the bridge they are on, leading him and Magneto to swing into the cliff wall and hop down safely to a ledge below. When they look back up at Vertigo, she is at roughly their 10 o'clock, with the other side of the bridge by her feet. Considering that they just dropped down onto the ledge and have only moved a couple steps to their left, the other side of the bridge should still be directly across from them. (00:15:45)

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Factual error: When Wolverine is tracking the jet Jubilee took, his monitor shows its coordinates to be latitude of 45° (north) and longitude of 74° (east), and says it is located in Russia. However, those coordinates are actually located in Kazakhstan. (00:11:21)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Plot hole: In the season one episode The Cure, when Pyro and Avalanche are in the bar on Muir Island waiting for Mystique to arrive, Avalanche says "This friend of yours better show up soon or I'm going back to jail, just for something to do!" Rogue then comes in and Pyro suggests to Avalanche that Rogue could be Mystique, to which Avalanche responds "What do you mean it could be? Don't you know what she looks like?", leading Pyro to tell Avalanche that Mystique is a shape-shifter. This dialogue implies that Avalanche has no idea who Mystique is, which is further substantiated when Pyro and Avalanche kidnap Mystique later in the episode while she is in the guise of Dr. Adler, and Avalanche didn't recognize Mystique when she revealed her true form. However in this episode it is shown that Pyro and Avalanche were both previously members of Mystique's Brotherhood of Mutants, so Avalanche should already know who Mystique is without Pyro having to tell him. Rogue was also a member of that group yet neither Pyro nor Avalanche recognize her.

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.

Phaneron

Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.
