Like the comics themselves, the Four in this cartoon [[Crossover|would run into other Marvel superheroes]]. One episode saw the Four joining forces with [[Daredevil]], and another saw them having to fight [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|The Incredible Hulk]], who was deceived by Dr. Doom ([[Manipulative Bastard|true to form]]). They also appeared in episodes of ''[[Spider Man the Animated Series]]'' (the three-part "Secret Wars" arc) and The Hulk's [[The Incredible Hulk (Animation)|own cartoon]] (well, just the Thing; the three others went on vacation). |

* [[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. |

* [[Never Recycle Your Schemes]]: Averted - the [[Grand Finale]] involves Doom recycling his "steal the Silver Surfer's power" plot from season one, although he makes sure that Galactus is a long way away this time. |

* [[Off |
* [[Off-Model]]: The first season was done by [[Wang Film Productions]] and [[Kennedy Cartoons]], neither studio known for producing action based cartoons outside of [[The Disney Afternoon]] or [[Hanna-Barbera]]<ref> Admittedly, the animation was (slightly) better compared to the ''Iron Man'' cartoon that was paired</ref>. |

** The Thing fared worse than the others, looking more like a character from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' (Which both companies also worked on) and gaining a fifth finger in some shots. |

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: The Thing to Doctor Doom in "And A Blind Man Shall Lead Them" (see [[Tear Jerker]] above for why). Doom hits him with a device that magnifies gravity's effect on him - and is genuinely terrified when Ben gets right back up and keeps attacking. He even ''crushes'' Doom's hands, which are shown to be in bandages in his next appearance half a season later. |
