* [[Animation Bump]]: Season two, done by [[Philippine Animation Studio Inc]], went over a MASSIVE bump when compared to season one, it almost looks like the show was made during two different decades between seasons.
* [[The Cameo]]: [[Stan Lee]] (voiced by himself), {{spoiler|Dick Clark}} (voiced by himself) and {{spoiler|[[Bill Clinton|President Clinton]]}} (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]), to name a few.

** [[Iron Man (
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Well, step-dad, actually. {{spoiler|The Puppet Master and Alicia got into a brief fight when he was about to crown a puppet version of himself to become king of the world. He was accidentally thrown out the window the same time the crown fell off the puppet. By the time the Fantastic Four came to her rescue, the Puppet Master "seemed to have [[Ret-Gone|wiped off the face of the earth]]."}}
** Sue and Johnny's own father. {{spoiler|The elder Storm was involved in an altercation that led to another man's death. It wasn't cold-blooded murder, but he went into hiding out of fear. He only returned to perform life-saving surgery on Sue, but subsequently was arrested. He was later killed as part of a Skrull plot.}}
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|The Thing in "Nightmare in Green." Doctor Doom in "Doomsday," who was revealed to be alive in ''The Incredible Hulk'' episode "Doomed."}}

'''Doctor Doom:''' Yes, I'm so sorry to involve you in the time-worn damsel-in-distress cliche, Mrs Richards. I fear the only thing missing is the onrushing train. However, sometimes expediency outweighs originality. }}
* [[Enemy Mine]]: To stop Ego the Living Planet, Reed and Thor go to the guy who attached his rockets to him in the first place - ''Galactus.''
Line 43 ⟶ 45:
** In "And A Blind Man Shall Lead Them," the four lose their powers in a nuclear explosion and Ben is overjoyed to be normal again. {{spoiler|However, he is forced to reclaim his powers to save the team and Daredevil from Doctor Doom - ruining his plans for a normal life with Alicia. Poor guy even crushes the ring he was going to propose with.}}
* [[The Notable Numeral]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: A couple—most notably, Doctor Doom and the Human Torch—but nowhere near as extreme as what ''[[Iron Man (
** ''Three'' people actually voiced Doctor Doom during the series' run.
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Doom's reaction to Ben overcoming his gravity-increaser.
Line 49 ⟶ 51:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Plans for a third season included Sue's pregnancy (with She-Hulk or Medusa filling up the vacancy) and the return of the Sub-Mariner.
