Thats an unfortunate first exposure to the Scarlet Witch character but I guess on the bright side, its only UP from there...
NOT her best interpretation of her occult abilities.
That Iron Man animated series used the FORCE WORKS lineup and costume design for Wanda, the first attempt at giving her a battle dress. It rarely looked good on the page, but this pinup shot of her put its best potential forward. On the plus side, I believe FORCE WORKS was also the first attempt to make Wanda a leader among her peers, having grown strong after weathering the relentless crises she faced during her stint with the Avengers West Coast during the John Byrne tenure as writer/artist.
But she and Pietro never appeared on the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon (even though Wanda originally appeared in many of the stories they adapted) because they were already on Wolverine and the X-Men as Magneto's children. So that's one of the first things I always think of when I say being Magneto's daughter hurt her.
She's a minor X-Men character and a major Avengers character, but because Magneto is a much more famous character than she or Pietro, it seemed for a while like they were going to be known mostly as minor X-Men characters. So I'm glad the MCU version changed that a bit.
Whatever the reason they didn't have her in a lot of stuff, I hope she ends up in a cartoon soon. It's very weird to me that if all that is true that she's still not in anything.

The speculation has been that she was swallowed up by the unofficial semi-ban on characters whose movie rights were owned by Fox. Even though her rights were shared with Disney and even though Fox wasn't actually using her, they still weren't going to use her in cartoons or most games. The retcon of them not being mutants in the comics didn't affect this situation at all.
Wanda has had a weird mix of good and bad luck for most of this decade. She hasn't done bad but there's always a catch, it seems. So the good news about the Fox deal is that it ends the whole shared rights situation but the bad news is that it brings a whole bunch of more famous characters into the MCU for Marvel to promote.
(One of the producers of Marvel animation, Cort Lane, mentioned back in 2013 that Scarlet Witch was one of his two favorite Marvel characters but he didn't consider it likely that she would be on the show, even though it was already known she was going to be in the MCU.)
When Done Right, I always enjoyed the Forcework's look for Wanda and her Short haired Look as Well!

I have a friend in gaming that told me that her rights and rights to many characters were just more expensive than others. So that might be how they applied the ban. Which would explain why rights were pretty selective.
Also I thought Feige said that her's and Pietro's rights were not negotiated for. That neither Fox or Marvel had the exclusive rights so both could use them.

Another link to the news about Jac Shaeffer being hired to write and executive produce the "Vision & the Scarlet Witch" show.
Shaeffer worked on the script for Captain Marvel and was hired to write the Black Widow film, so Feige clearly has confidence in her.
