Showing Ultron the pain he caused her certainly wasn't the first time Wanda demonstrated just how powerful she was. The Avenger's time in the MCU has seen the focus of her powers be what she is able to do physically, moving objects with her mind and such, but there is another aspect to her ability that has rarely been explored.

While still taking orders from Ultron, Wanda used her power to infiltrate the minds of her future teammates, manipulating them into living their greatest fears. With little more than a wave of her hand, she was able to hit Natasha, Cap, Tony, and even the Mighty Thor like never before.

She also played with the mind of Bruce Banner, leading to his and Tony's utter destruction of an entire town. The Earth's Mightiest Heroes had never come up against something like this before, and it truly knocked the entire team down.

Though this power was amazing to see, manipulating minds isn't really a power you would associate with a hero doing good. Wanda hasn't since used this power again, though it would have been interesting to see what she would do inside Thanos' head if she had wanted to.
