When she is kidnapped by terrorist organizationHYDRA, led by the NaziBaron Strucker, Charles and Magnus used their mutant powers to save her and defeat HYDRA. Immediately afterwards, Magnus left Gabby and Charles feeling that her and Charles' view on mutants and humans contrasted his own. Magnus left with Nazi gold HYDRA wanted to claim.[10]
Over some time, the two amicably ended their relationship. Soon after, Charles leaves Israel unaware that Gabrielle was pregnant. Years later, Gabrielle became the Israeli ambassador toGreat Britain living inParis with her young sonDavid. During a terrorist attack at her home claiming the life of David's godfather Daniel Shomron, David's mutant powers activated, ending with him killing the terrorists and putting himself in a catatonic state.[11] Later, David (who is now in his late teens) developed a disease the comic inaccurately describes asautism, which concerns his mother, who thinks it is a symptom of something more serious. Gabrielle did everything she could, but she turned to Dr.Moira MacTaggert for help. She tells Moira that Xavier is David's father and that she doesn't want him involved. Unfortunately, David's powers began to manifest uncontrollably, absorbing the psyches of two of MacTaggert's friends,Tom Corsi andSharon Friedlander. Moira had no choice but to call Xavier to help who is assisted by some of theNew Mutants.

It is here that Xavier discovers he's David's father.[12] Gabrielle andCypher are also absorbed and they all meet David's various personalities, including that of the absorbed psyche of the terrorist leader who raided his home. Eventually, Dani and David's personalities returned everybody to their bodies, fixing most of David's mind and ridding him of his disorder. Despite her secrecy, Xavier does his best to help raise David.[13]
Later, Gabrielle becomes the attorney ofMagneto, who is on trial forcrimes against humanity. The trial was halted when Baron Strucker's mutant twin children, collectively namedFenris, attacked the proceedings seeking revenge against her, Xavier and Magneto for their father's death. After Xavier and Magneto defeated them, Magneto did not return to the courtroom.[14]
Gabrielle loses David because ofBishop from an alternate timeline known as theAge of Apocalypse after David created said timeline when he accidentally kills his father. Bishop in the AoA timeline prevents this from happening by killing David.[15]
Deeply saddened by the loss of her son, Gabrielle eventually moved on with her life. She continued work as the Israeli ambassador.[16] She, along with the mutant heroSabra, attempted to find out Magneto's true identity, but failed after he killed the forger Georg Odekirk who gave him the "Erik Magnus Lehnsherr" name.[17] Gabrielle was also part of theUnited Nations decision to give the island nation ofGenosha to Magneto, after he demanded an entire mutants-only nation.[18]
Gabrielle opposed the formation of the Mutant Response Division that was proposed byStephen Lang andBolivar Trask. The group formed anyway.[19]
Pete Wisdom later called Gabrielle to have a talk with Legion after he caused trouble across Great Britain.

Markus Ettlinger / Hauptmann Deutschland (German forCaptain Germany), also known asVormund (Guardian), is a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. He was created byMark Gruenwald andRik Levins.
Markus Ettlinger is part of a team called the Schutz Heiliggruppe, which was a national superteam protecting Germany. He first appeared in a backup story inCaptain America where the Schutz Heiliggruppe captured theRed Skull and abducted him back toGermany in an attempt to put him on trial forwar crimes. Although they captured the Skull and subsequently his Skeleton Crew, they later surrendered the Skull to a falseThor,Iron Man andCaptain America, who were actually shapeshifting "bioplastoid" androids created by the Skull's lackeyArnim Zola.[75]
Realizing the deception, Hauptmann Deutschland followed the Skull back to America. After a brawl with Captain America, the heroes teamed up to track the Skull. They concluded the hunt when confronted with a false corpse of the Red Skull. The false Skull had been shot through the head and appeared to have been killed by theScourge of the Underworld, who left his trademark "Justice is Served" scrawled on the wall.[75]
Vormund's next appearance was in a somewhat convoluted tale where he set out with Zeitgeist, another member of the Schutz Heiliggruppe, in order to investigate the slaying of their partnerBlitzkrieger, who had been slain while investigating the murders of multiple South American local superheroes. Although Vormund was framed for the murders, it was eventually discovered that Zeitgeist was actually a somewhat obscure American villain known asEveryman. While fleeing Captain America, Zeitgeist tried to stab Vormund with his sword. Vormund redirected the force of Zeitgeist/Everyman's stab and killed him.[76]
Hauptman Deutschland is later seen aidingBlue Marvel against the organization The Terror-Hives of W.E.S.P.E.[77]
When the issues ofCaptain America containing Hauptmann Deutschland and the rest of the Schutz Heiliggruppe were to be published in Germany by licensee Condor Interpart, the names of the team were changed in accordance with the German taboos on references to Nazism, despite the team being distinctly anti-Nazi in behavior and the fact that Hauptmann Deutschland's name (literal translation: "Captain Germany") contains no actual reference to Nazism. In Germany, Hauptmann Deutschland was renamed Freiheitskämpfer (Freedom Fighter).[citation needed]
Due to a lack of coordination, when Hauptmann Deutschland next appeared in American comics, he was renamed Vormund, which means "legal guardian", "warden" or "custodian". Per Markus Raymond, a submitter toThe Appendix toThe Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe,Vormund actually should be used only in reference to a "legal guardian for a child or somebody else who can't talk legally for himself".[78]
Vormund appears inLego Marvel Super Heroes 2.[79]

She was the best-selling author of a book about the new humanity that would result from humans and mutants evolving into one race. She planned to bring this 'new humanity' about by destroying three quarters of the world in a Mahapralaya, or 'Great Destruction', as foretold in herHindu teachings.[80]
X-Factor opposes her, but she is able to swayWolfsbane by curing her of the genetic engineering that had turned her into a mindlessGenoshan mutate, allowing her to once again assume human form. X-Factor shuts down her entire operation with the help of her brotherMonsoon. She attempts to cureJamie Madrox (not the original, although no one knows that) from theLegacy Virus, but she fails and he dies, leaving X-Factor to believe the original Madrox is dead.[81]

The fetus acts through Haven, leaving the true nature of the situation unknown to the general populus. The fetus was the product of an old affair that never came to term, instead remaining a sentient embryo.[82] Haven's efforts to cause destruction attract the attention of theAdversary, who uses her fetus to return himself to the world, consuming Haven in the process.[83]
