Partners in Danger Chapter 9: The Haunting of Mary Jane - S4-E9

Plot hole: Miranda Wilson states that after the accident on the movie set left her face disfigured, she hid in the catacombs by the bridge and almost died from her condition until Quentin Beck found her after he was released from prison. Beck is the one that caused the accident in the first place, so even if he only spent a month in prison, Miranda Wilson would have died from starvation or malnutrition - if not infection from her untreated facial disfigurement - long before Beck could have been released from prison and found her.

Partners in Danger Chapter 10: Lizard King - S4-E10

Plot hole: When Debra and Margaret arrive at the underground arena with the device that can revert the humanoid lizards to their original forms, they lose control of the device and it ends up in the hands of Ghila, who monologues that the humanoid lizards' existence was an accident and that she will use the device to return them to being regular lizards. Ghila had never seen this device before, nor did anyone tell her what its purpose was, so there's no way she could have known it was designed to reverse the mutations.

The Wedding - S5-E1

Other mistake: When J. Jonah Jameson is on the phone with Wilson Fisk, one shot shows that the area of Jameson's desk between the receiver and the cord is colored the same gray color as the cord, instead of the golden-brown color the rest of the desk is.

Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 2: Unclaimed Legacy - S5-E3

Other mistake: When Silver Sable infiltrates Kingpin's Russian lair with sleeping gas, before falling unconscious, Kingpin correctly deduces that he has been betrayed. In the next scene, Kingpin asks Silver Sable how she was able to infiltrate his lair, and she tells him one of his men is a traitor, which elicits an incredulous reaction from Kingpin, completely contradicting the previous scene where Kingpin already surmised there was a traitor.

Trivia: Around the same time this show was airing, James Cameron was in the midst of developing a Spider-Man film which would have featured Sandman and Electro as the villains. Due to this plan, Sandman never appeared on this show despite being a prominent member of Spidey's rogue's gallery. Electro eventually made an appearance in the show's final season once it was determined that Cameron's film would never come to fruition, though the Electro that appeared on this show was a bastardized version of his comics counterpart.

More trivia for Spider-Man

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.

Answer: I could be wrong, but I believe the Hobgoblin in Marvel Comics around the same time this show was airing was also Jason Macendale. I have a Hobgoblin trading card from around 1992 or 1993, and it identifies him as Jason Phillips Macendale when listing his real name.
