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, the cameo appearance by Scarlet Spider in this episode creates a contradiction with Spider-Man, as in that series, Scarlet Spider was an alternate - and possibly cloned - version of Spider-Man from a different reality, who never visited the reality that this and the other Marvel shows take place in.

Fantastic Four: The Animated Series (1994)
Trivia: When Johnny and Rick Jones are taking the air-cycle out for a spin, the following Marvel characters make a cameo appearance: the Scarlet Spider, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Gambit, Wolverine, Storm, and Juggernaut. Additionally, the Juggernaut is shown with his hand emerging out of the New York Harbor, which alludes to his previous appearance in X-Men, where he was thrown out into the ocean by Gladiator near Cassidy Keep in Ireland in the season 3 episode "The Phoenix Saga, Part 3: The Cry of the Banshee," and seemingly walked all the way back to New York from the ocean floor for his next appearance in the episode "Juggernaut Returns."

The Unstoppable Juggernaut - S1-E8
Other mistake: When Wolverine is searching for clues as to who destroyed the mansion, he clears out some rubble to reveal two of Juggernaut's footprints. Given that the Juggernaut tore down the entire mansion, his footprints should be everywhere, not just in one spot. (00:04:10)

'Til Death Do Us Part: Part 1 - S2-E1
Trivia: During Cyclops and Jean Grey's wedding ceremony, a man can be seen standing next to Storm, and after the nuptials can be seen standing in the background after Rogue rejects Gambit's attempt to kiss her. According to the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series," this character is intended to be Doctor Strange. The book also reveals that a character model was drawn for J. Jonah Jameson to be at wedding as well. However, he didn't make it into the episode. (00:02:55 - 00:04:09)

X-Men (1992)
Trivia: According to the book "Previously on X-Men: The Making of an Animated Series," this episode was originally conceived as an episode called "Bring Me Charles Xavier" (a reference to the film Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia), and would have been the 47th episode of the series overall. In addition to the return of Omega Red, it also would have seen the returns of Colossus and his little sister Ilyana, as well as Darkstar. The episode was written by showrunner Eric Lewald, and after being told numerous times by his colleagues that the script just didn't work, he reworked it into what became this episode. An image for the cast list of the unproduced episode is visible in the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series."

Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Trivia: At the end of the episode, Thing calls Black Panther "Shere Khan." Shere Khan is the main antagonist, a tiger, from The Jungle Book. Thing likely meant to call him Bagheera, which is the name of the black panther from the same story, though this was probably deliberate on the part of the writers in order to make Thing look like a doofus.

X-Men (1992)
Trivia: According to the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series," the character of the External didn't have a counterpart established in the comics for the show's creators to base her on by the time this episode went into production, so director Larry Houston designed her himself, choosing to portray her as a Creole woman. The character's comic counterpart ended up debuting around the same time this episode aired, in Gambit #1, where she is a blonde Caucasian woman named Candra.

Continuity mistake: When the X-Men are watching Johnny and Rick Jones fly overhead, Wolverine's jacket briefly changes color. Additionally, Gambit's eyes change from having white sclera with dark irises, to correctly being black sclera with red irises, and then back again. (00:09:33)
