!! The 1994 cartoon:
* AllStarCast: Somewhat unusually for a Marvel cartoon at the time, the show featured a pretty big number of recognizable live-action actors in guest roles. These included Creator/MarkHamill as Maximus, Creator/MichaelDorn as Gorgon, Creator/RonPerlman as Bruce Banner[=/=]Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk and the Wizard, Creator/KeithDavid as Comicbook/BlackPanther, Creator/JohnRhysDavies as [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]], model Kathy Ireland as Crystal, Richard Grieco as Comicbook/GhostRider, Creator/BradGarrett as Hydro-Man and Creator/DickClark as himself.
* EditedForSyndication: A rather unusual case. When the show was on Netflix for a while (albeit solely under the ''WesternAnimation/IronMan'' name; nothing in Netflix's listings indicated that the ''FF'' show was included), the show was, for the first time since its' original broadcast, presented with its' original ''Marvel Action Hour'' branding and Stan Lee intros! (The only thing changed in this case was removed the outdated Marvel and Genesis and/or Saban logos in favor of the current Marvel Animation logo.) However, season 2 was rather strange since the season 1 ''Marvel Action Hour'' intros were edited together with the season 2 intros, apparently to remove any trace of the ''Marvel Action Universe'' branding they used for that season (possibly because for said season, ''IM'' and ''FF'' were joined by another New World show, ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'', which Disney also owns but not the characters and underlying IP); it was very obvious as the voiceover suddenly switched from Creator/JimCummings to Creator/TomKane.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** Doctor Doom was voiced in the first season by Neil Ross and by Simon Templeman in the second season.
** Creator/BrianAustinGreen voiced Johnny Storm in the first season. By season two, he was instead voiced by Creator/QuintonFlynn.
** Creator/BradGarrett replaced Creator/RobPaulsen (from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'') as Hydro-Man.
* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/MarkHamill as Triton counts, since Hamill usually plays villains. Also the Kree Sentry, which is an emotionless AntiVillain.
* PlayingWithCharacterType: Though Mark Hamill as Maximus seems a normal case of him playing villains, Maximus is confirmed in his second appearance to be severely mentally ill (most of Hamill's villains lack such an excuse) and actually capable of kindness when thinking clearly.
* RecycledScript: Both seasons end with Doctor Doom claiming the power of the Silver Surfer. The second season production team actually did this on purpose. They felt that the first season's take on the classic comic story was poorly handled and deserved a better adaptation.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: 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 and Puppet Master.

** When the book returned in 1998, Creator/ScottLobdell talked of his big plans for it. He intended to turn C-list baddie Doctor Demonicus into a huge threat and have the Wizard engage in a dark battle of wits with Reed while leading a "Frightful Four that lived up to their name." He also had an idea of the FF discovering the cosmic rays had left long-term new effects. However, just three issues into his run, Lobdell left the book after battling editors and all his plans were scuttled.
