When Batman/Superman released, they rephrased 'Hero' to 'Character' to prevent confusion when people played with the DC rules. If you were to do a look up for 'Hero' on all the cards, the last ones you'd find would be in the IQ set (minus, of course, for Heroes for Hire and Any Character cards). However, one card was missed and was allowed to continue to reference a character as a 'Hero':

Unless that's not a mistake, and you can't play that against a villain... obviously, this game has flaws and there was a lot of... copy problems... but maybe this one was deliberate?

at first glance i thought that was a picture of the Leader from Marvel....

i guess it shows my limited knowledge on op.. lol
Since that was DC's first set, I would have to assume that that was simply the one card they didn't correct before going to print. If it truely cannot be used against a villain I would assume that would only be the case if you were playing with H and V codes, and DAMN that would be a sucky restriction, though way less likely to come up in that style of tourney.
Mostly thanks to zippa_head for pointing this one out, I'm surprised this even made it through QA:

Aww hell. I'd be a lousy copy editor. I've read that card dozens of times and never noticed that.

Nice.....that's definitely one of those "read it hows it's intended" moments." Good catch.

Working on the Wiki and I saw this. That is not how you spell Imitation.
I always wondered about that one..
Here's one that I didn't realized until I poked at some archived pages, see if you can guess it:
(http://overpower.ca/cards/events/94.png)
Mike & Tony Alberts website had a list of mispelled cards:
Alpha Flight - Aroura
Namor - Imperious Rex
Super Skrull - Immitation
Shi'ar - Lillandra (No cards with an Intellect icon may be played against The Sh' iar for remainder of battle.)
Marvel Manhatten (Location)
and also a list of Art Anomalies (very funny!):
Specials
Adam Warlock - The Infinity Watch
As the great Titan Thanos could tell you, the Soul Gem is definitely green, not red.
Bishop - Absorb Energy
How the hell do you lose a tattoo?
Bishop - Draw Enemy Fire
Hey, isn't there supposed to be a "M" on his right eye?
Captain America - Mighty Shield
Ya know, even in "Heroes Reborn" Cap didn't have a star on his head. The chest, back, and shield are enough.
Cyclops - Fearless Leader
This might not be a mistake, but the picture might imply that the scene takes place during the Dark Phoenix Saga. Slim had much different duds back then!
Mister Fantastic - Protect Teammate
So when did the team switch to an open, generic-looking "4"?
Nick Fury - Infinity Formula
This one isn't the artist's fault! We've seen the original art, it's correct. So Fleer screwed it up. Imagine that.
Scarlet Spider - Arachnid Gizmos
Wonder how many of you caught this one! The spider on Reilly's chest points toward his left shoulder, not the right.
Super Skrull - Skrull and Crossbones
Look at how smooth the pretty boy is! Ain't never seen a Skrull with a chin like that!!!
Power Cards
Level 3 Fighting - Original OverPower
Unlike most human-looking superheroes, Longshot can only count to eight on his hands.
Level 3 Fighting - PowerSurge
Looks like they tried to hide their mistake in round two with the zoom-in, but you can still see the right hand.
Teamworks
7 Energy + F/S - PowerSurge
What's that guy's name in the red outfit? Might help if they'd put the "DD" on his chest.
Events
Fatal Attractions - The Best Laid Plans
Geez, third time wasn't a charm here. Once again, Bishop's "M" tattoo on his eye is M.I.A.

There's not much point in keeping this one a secret. Basically, there's no "Shattered Image" on it anywhere.

Are you sure that's it?
Thats one one I saw first, but the "additionl" is pretty bad too.... ;D
They seriously must have had an intern editing Banshee's card when it was produced.....
I think they dropped the "a" in additional to save space, course that still doesn't explain the mispelled "bonuses."
french?
Is the Scarlet Witch Sorceress Slam more common as the error 6F or the correct 6S?
In my collection, I have more S than F.
I have an equal number of each - not sure that says much :D
Weird. I have two of them and they are the 6F. I figured the 6S were rare. I'd like some of the correct ones. I'll have to add that to my wish list.
i got just the 1 error

Unnecessary comma before "or Venture total."

Headbutt is not two words. :D
lol I've been staring at Head Butt for years wondering why it looked so weird.

Maybe they were just trying to say his head looks like a butt.... :P

That's not a mistake. It's actually remarkably accurate, as Longshot has only 4 fingers on each hand.

Exactly, but the card shows 5 fingers.
I see, I misread it.

That's funny, because you linked the powersurge version from this card. Look for the first version (Marvel Overpower set). They tried to hide their mistake in Powersurge by making a zoom in the pic, leaving the fifth finger out. But it still visible in one of the hands, unless Longshot has no thumb in one hand.

Hasn't Longshot always been drawn with only 4 fingers on each hand? I thought that was part of his anatomy. 4 fingers per hand, two hearts, and I think there was something else...

Hollow bones would be it.
And I got ya Basilisk. I didn't re-read the entire thread before I posted that the other day. Probably should have...
