Behold, a Distant Star - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When the doctor first walks into Sue's hospital room, there is a vase of flowers and an unidentifiable object at the foot of her bed. As the scene progresses, the two objects become further apart from each other. (00:03:38 - 00:04:14)

Distant Boundaries - S2-E7

Factual error: When War Machine is about to collide with the star, he ends up mere inches away from its surface before being rescued by Iron Man. Yellow-white stars have a surface temperature of about 10,000° F, and the metal with the highest melting point is tungsten, which is 6,192° F. Iron Man specifically says he switching his armor to "inferno mode" in order to safely catch Rhodey, but Rhodey does no such switching for himself, nor is it even revealed if his armor has that capability, so he should have been incinerated.

Distant Boundaries - S2-E7

Factual error: When War Machine is drifting towards the star, just before Iron Man rescues him, he rotates his body to bring himself to a dead stop. Since he's in the vacuum of space, rotating his body would not have stopped him. He would have instead continued drifting, but with his body now drifting into the star feet first. (00:09:56)

Distant Boundaries - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When H.O.M.E.R. is telling Tony that the spaceship is programmed to return to the planet Elysium in two hours, his arms are down at his side. When the shot changes, his right hand is on his hip. (00:05:52)

To Battle the Living Planet - S2-E6

Other mistake: This series is in the same continuity as the other Marvel animated series that aired around the same time - X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and The Incredible Hulk - by virtue of each aforementioned show crossing over with at least one of the others. However, early in this episode, the Fantastic Four receive help from the Avengers, and two of their members are Iron Man and She-Hulk. Iron Man is not a member of the Avengers in this universe, he is a member of Force Works. She-Hulk is not a member of the Avengers either. She is an attorney and is also frequently off doing missions with Bruce Banner/Hulk. (00:01:52)

Beauty Knows No Pain - S2-E5

Factual error: The opening shot of the episode with the Sphinx and the Pyramids is filled with numerous errors. Firstly, the Sphinx is missing its feet. Secondly, there is a stream in front of the Sphinx. There are no bodies of water in front of the Sphinx. There are temples there. Lastly, as the camera pans to the right, the Pyramids come into view, suggesting they are northeast of the Sphinx. One of the Pyramids is northwest of the Sphinx, and the other one is directly behind it. (00:00:01)

Iron Man, on the Inside - S2-E6

Other mistake: When Iron Man has successfully shrunken down, Julia confirms that he has been reduced to the size of a molecule. However, the line separating the slabs on the floor of the platform he was standing on, as well as the edge of the platform behind him are also still visible. If he was the size of a molecule, the floor around him would also account for a very small surface area, not even large enough to be the size of a drop of water. (00:08:36)

When Calls Galactus - S2-E8

Trivia: When Reed is exploring Frankie's memories of when she snuck into her stepfather's lab as a child, he discovers that her stepfather was working on an android Human Torch for the military. This is a reference to the original Human Torch from the comics, who alongside Namor and Captain America, was one of Marvel's very first characters. (00:04:20)

When Calls Galactus - S2-E8

Plot hole: When Frankie tries to get Johnny to chase her out into space, he tells her he can't follow and warns her to turn back due to the thin atmosphere not being able to keep their flame powers active, and indeed her flames die out, and she begins falling back to Earth. However, several minutes later in the episode, both of them are just outside of the Earth when Terrax arrives, and again at the end after she becomes the new herald of Galactus, Johnny follows her into space well beyond Earth before his flames die out. (00:03:15 - 00:06:03)

Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7

Trivia: After the Fantastic Four have battled Black Panther, there is a panning shot in the village, and you see a young man in the foreground wearing a red headband. This is Mjnari, who is the godson of X-Men member Storm, and appeared in the X-Men episode "Whatever It Takes." Additionally, the woman standing next to Mjnari bears a strong resemblance to the younger version of Storm that was shown in the flashback of the aforementioned episode. On a related note, Storm and Black Panther have been married in the comics. (00:12:25)
