It’s been decades since I’ve watched any of the original cartoon, but I think there was a sorceress who was only ever called Sorceress.

Elemental has actually shown some decent legs after its poor opening; it may end up “merely” a disappointment rather than an outright flop. The Flash might be a better comparison.
