Even before WandaVision made her a household name, Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, has appeared in comics, film, and television for years. So it makes sense for her fans to see a little something of her in their favorite cartoon characters.
Exactly what defines Wanda varies with each different incarnation? Sometimes she's a mutant and other times she's an actual witch, for instance. Sometimes she has dark hair, other times she has red hair. X-Men: Evolution famously gave her an interest in goth culture. Some cartoon heroes might remind fans of Wanda for a variety of reasons: a witchy aesthetic, a power over destiny or probability, or fondness for robots. An affinity for the color red doesn't hurt, either.
10 She-Ra Princess of Power: Castaspella Commands Her Own Winds Of Destiny
In She-Ra Princess Of Power, Castaspella is a powerful Sorceress-Queen of Mystacor. After She-Ra helps her overthrow a usurper and restores her to the throne, she summons powerful winds that restores the land to its former glory. Bringing to mind, if a bit literally, Wanda's "Winds of Destiny, Change!"
Something Castaspella has in common with Scarlet Witch is that she has been both a hero and a villain. In the Ladybird She-Ra books, Castaspella was an evil ally of Catra.
9 She-Ra & The Princesses of Power: Entrapta Has A Similar Fondness For Robotic Love Interests
In the She-Ra reboot, Entrapta, much like Wanda, also flirts between being on the sides of both the heroes and villains. Initially being introduced as one of the titular princesses before being manipulated into joining the Horde.
Much like Wanda's relationship with Vision, Entrapta's fondness for tech eventually reaches romantic tension with her relationship with Hordak. Who is a cyborg, which ultimately brings about his own redemption.
8 Teen Titans: Raven Is A Supervillain's Daughter With Magic Powers
Even though continuities go back and forth on whether she is Magneto's daughter or not, Wanda probably has some grasp of what it's like like having a supervillain for a father. Something Raven from Teen Titans can probably relate to, being the daughter of the demon Trigon.
In the cartoon, Raven's powers are initially treated as psychic in nature but later becomes outright magic. And thanks to Terra, she knows what it's like to be called a "witch," either as a passive-aggressive nickname or an outright insult. And if the comics are to be considered, she knows what it's like to be both a heroine and a villain.
7 RWBY: Ruby Is Tied To The Color Red & Knows Robots Need A Little Love & Respect
In RWBY, Ruby Rose is the heroine most aligned with the color red, as her name suggests, with her comrades representing white, black, and yellow. Each of them each corresponding to various fairy tale heroines, with Ruby being patterned on Little Red Riding Hood. She is also known for using the Petal Burst, or Speed, Semblance.
Ruby is also known for her friendship with Penny Polendina, sort of a Pinocchio analog, who she assures is just as real as anyone upon learning she is a robot. Seldom thinking of her as a machine, Ruby is horrified when Penny seems to be destroyed during her fight with Pyrrha, which would not be her first brush with death.
6 Ben 10: Gwen Has Luck On Her Side As Lucky Girl
In one early episode of Ben 10, Ben's cousin Gwen gets supernatural powers while encountering a lucky charm while at a witchcraft museum, allowing her to don the superhero identity Lucky Girl. While she destroys the charm at the end of the story, this wouldn't be her last time with powers or even the last time she'd don the Lucky Girl alter-ego.
Gwen's powers come and go in the franchise, sometimes being outright magic and other times being alien in nature. This mirrors Wanda going back and forth between being a mutant and a real magic-user. In at least one reboot, Lucky Girl is even a Sailor Moon-esque cartoon character.
5 W.I.T.C.H.: Will Vandom Is Another Ambiguous Witch With An Affinity For Red
Will might put the "W" in W.I.T.C.H., and she might be a magical girl, but she's not a literal witch. She has powers over Quintessence, which mostly comes out in the form of magical lightning, but, at its most powerful, can be used to warp reality itself, even raising the dead.
Such magic can be very corruptive, however, as the previous Guardian of Quintessence, Nerissa, effectively did turn into an evil witch. And Wanda knows what it's like to have to contend with an ancient scheming magic-user.
4 Winx Club: Mirta Is A Good Witch Turned Fairy With Powers Of Absolute Darkness
In Winx Club, unlike the more villainous Trix, Mirta is a kind-hearted witch who has even helped the Winx Club at times early in the series. Granted, it's a little vague if the witches are an evil counterpart to the fairies or just darker, but she eventually makes the transition from witch to fairy herself. Like most of the young witches in the series, she also favors a gothic style with black clothing.
Exactly what Mirta's powers are seems to change quite a bit, from her being able to create illusions from emotions to commanding the "absolute powers of darkness," even while studying to be a good fairy.
3 Steven Universe: Pink Diamond Also Made Her Own Little World
In Steven Universe, Pink Diamond, wanted to mimic the other Diamonds by colonizing life on Earth. Learning that her actions would end up hurting the Earth, she developed a new alter-ego, Rose Quartz, complete with a new "family," the Crystal Gems, while living on the planet. Eventually, she gave up her physical form so she could give birth to her son, Steven.
While both Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz have their sympathizers, even before the truth of them being one and the same comes to light, it's implied she had a darker side at times. This can be seen through her treatment of Pink Pearl and Spinel.
2 Invincible: Atom Eve Can Also Bring Her Imagination To Life
In Invincible, Atom Eve has the power of transmutation, manipulating things at their atomic level, effectively giving her power over matter itself. As she points out, she can do anything she imagines, growing crops, summoning doors, and constructing a house for her to live in.
Interestingly, considering her hair and pink costume, which she designed herself, she is also connected to the color red. It's also rather fitting her real name, Samantha, was popularized in real life by another famous witch.
1 Scooby-Doo: Thorn Turns Out To Be Something Of A Good Witch
Over the years, the Hex Girls have become popular recurring extras in the Scooby-Doo universe, first appearing in Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost. Sort of intended as a witchy version of Josie and the Pussycats, they're made up of Thorn, Dusk, and Luna, three girls with an affinity for the elements, especially wind and air, and who know black is always the new black.
In the original movie, while their goth aesthetic is mostly just an aesthetic, the climax reveals Thorn is something of a good witch and is even able to seal away the titular ghost and a villainous warlock. This rarely comes up in their later appearances, since monsters being real is usually the exception to the rule in the Scooby-Doo universe.
