Hala the Accuser

Gabrielle Haller

Gabrielle Haller was a catatonic Holocaust survivor who awoke from the disorder after Charles Xavier used his powers to make her aware again. Gabby and Charles fell in love while he saw to her recovery for weeks, with the help of hospital volunteer and their mutual friend, Magnus (the future Magneto). When she is kidnapped by terrorist organization HYDRA, led by the Nazi Baron 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.

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 to Great Britain living in Paris with her young son David. 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. Later, David (who is now in his late teens) developed a disease the comic inaccurately describes as autism, which concerns his mother, who thinks it's 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 and Sharon Friedlander. Moira had no choice but to call Xavier to help who is assisted by some of the New Mutants. When David absorbs Moira's and Wolfsbane's psyches into his mind, Xavier and Dani used their powers to enter it as well. It is here that Xavier discovers he's David's father. Gabrielle and Cypher 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.

Later, Gabrielle becomes Magneto's attorney, who is on trial for crimes against humanity. The trial was halted when Baron Strucker's mutant twin children, collectively named Fenris, 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.

Gabrielle loses David because of Bishop from an alternate timeline known as the Age of Apocalypse after he created said timeline when he accidentally kills his father. Bishop in the AoA timeline prevents this from happening by killing David.

Deeply saddened by the loss of her son, Gabrielle eventually moved on with her life. She continued work as the Israeli ambassador. She, along with the mutant hero Sabra, 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. Gabrielle was also part of the United Nations decision to give the island nation of Genosha to Magneto, after he demanded an entire mutants-only nation.

Gabrielle opposed the formation of the Mutant Response Division that was proposed by Stephen Lang and Bolivar Trask. The group formed anyway.

Pete Wisdom later called Gabrielle to have a talk with Legion after he caused trouble across Great Britain. Following the coordinates in the car that was sent to pick up Legion, Gabrielle tracked the coordinates to Muir Island. After Gabrielle and Legion talked about what transpired in the "Age of X" reality, Gabrielle is accidentally shot by an Aqiri superhero whose president holds a personal grudge against Legion. As Gabrielle started bleeding, she told her son not to search his mind for a personality that has healing powers. Before passing away, Gabrielle told Legion that there haven't been any miracles from coming back from the dead. Infuriated with his mother's death, Legion incinerated his attackers and then teleported to the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

Gabrielle was later resurrected by Legion alongside Abigail Brand, Chamber, Karasu-Tengu, and Sojobo Tengu.

Gabrielle Haller in other media

Gabrielle Haller appears in '' X-Men: Evolution'', voiced by Patricia Drake. This version is shown as too young to be a Holocaust survivor (though her comic appearances are also inconsistent on this matter). In the episode "Sins of the Son", Gabrielle is the mother to David who hid the truth of Professor X's existence. Though in this version they were married briefly when they were young, divorcing when Xavier's work with mutants kept them apart. Gabrielle tells David that Xavier abandons them. Gabrielle later calls Professor X when David goes missing. She later discovers that David was taken over by the Lucas personality that has personal issues with his father.

Gabrielle Haller appears in the ''Legion'' FX television series, portrayed by Stephanie Corneliussen. As in the comics, she was originally in a catatonic state at a mental hospital following her time in concentration camps during World War II until Professor X used his telepathy to revive her psyche. In "Chapter 22", Gabrielle and Professor X were in the mental hospital until Professor X used his mental abilities to have the doctors deem them cured. The two of them settled in a home where they gave birth to David. When Professor X went to Morocco, Gabrielle got a call from him stating that Shadow King is dangerous. Shadow King secretly possessed baby David which is witnessed by an adult David and Switch. In "Chapter 26", Syd Barrett, Cary Loudermilk, and Kerry Loudermilk arrived in the year of David's infancy where Syd interacted with Gabrielle. During their talk about David, the house is attacked by the Time Eaters where Syd killed the one that tried to attack baby David. Gabrielle then comforted baby David as Syd states that they need to get out of the house.

Justine Hammer

Sasha Hammer

Sasha Hammer is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in '' The Invincible Iron Man'' #1 (July 2008), and was created by Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca.

She is the daughter of Justine Hammer and the Mandarin, a relative of Justin Hammer and Temugin, and an enemy of Iron Man. Raised by her mother, they both harbor a desire for revenge against Tony Stark for Justin's loss, and see Stark as an obstacle to their success. She first appeared as the girlfriend/assistant to tech-terrorist Ezekiel "Zeke" Stane, providing support to Zeke's attacks on Stark Industries buildings around the world. When Zeke is apprehended by Iron Man and S.H.I.E.L.D., Sasha is able to go underground, having never been discovered.

Following Norman Osborn's fall from power, Hammer reappears out in the open alongside Justine as Hammer Industries' heads and purchases numerous de-commissioned H.A.M.M.E.R. technologies to create a large suit of powered armor that they wish to market globally for new generation of soldiers. Justine and Sasha embark on a campaign to discredit Iron Man in the industrial market, conspiring with the corrupt Pentagon general Babbage and staging civilian attacks in which Lt. Doug Johnson is arranged to intervene before Iron Man. When confronted about her operations, Sasha attacks with her own biotech weapons with which Zeke augmented her body before being arrested, revealing her criminal intent to both Iron Man and Rescue. Shortly after, the Steelcorps launches a surprise attack on Stark Resilient by orchestrating a remote-server air-strike unwittingly piloted by young gamers on phones-unaware these actions were actually taking place in the real world. The combined efforts of Iron Man, War Machine, Rescue and Maria Hill are able to stop the strike and shut down the Steelcorps. When the Hammers use their connections to arrange Zeke's secret release, Sasha introduces Zeke to her father's employ.

After Johnson is turned into stone by the Asgardian demon Mokk: Breaker of Faith and believed dead, Sasha is the Detroit Steel armor's new pilot by Justine. However, Johnson is later revealed to be alive and kidnaps his replacement. Johnson brings Sasha bound and gagged to Justine, threatening to kill her unless the Detroit Steel armor is returned. Johnson releases Hammer after regaining the Detroit Steel suit's possession. Sasha and the Steelcorps battle Johnson, resulting in Sasha killing Johnson with her whips.

Sasha and her Detroit Steel armor are next seen in '' Black Panther'' #171 (May 2018), the twelfth and penultimate part of writer Ta-Nehisi Coates's "Avengers of the New World" storyline. In the story, Sasha and her boyfriend, who had been previously believed killed in "The Five Nightmares" storyline in ''The Invincible Iron Man'' in which both characters first appeared, are in the African nation of Wakanda, where they are allied with the villain Klaw against Black Panther. The latter's forces dispatch Sasha and Ezekiel before defeating Klaw.

Sasha Hammer's powers and abilities

Sasha Hammer has been augmented by advanced technology, enabling her body to generate powerful energy of an unspecified type. She can project this energy from her hands in the form of whips and swords that she can use in physical combat. Her enhancements also give her ability to fly. These abilities' limits have not been explicitly given, but she can use them to destroy an automobile and can prove a considerable opponent to Iron Man.

When operating the Detroit Steel suits, she has at her disposal that full range of armaments and other features with which the Detroit Steel suits were designed, as well as modifications with which can be customized to a particular pilot. According to Hammer Industries, the Detroit Steel suit incorporates technology, such as C.N.S. (Controlled Exo-Enhanciles), that would eventually be used to end paralysis caused by cervical, thoracic or corticospinal injuries. Weighing four and a half tons, the "oversized"Callahan, Timothy (July 18, 2010)
Review of "Invincible Iron Man #28"
Comic Book Resources. Detroit Steel towers over Iron Man, at approximately twice her opponent's height. The suit affords its occupant considerable protection from automatic weapons and explosives, though the magically-powered Mokk was able to easily rip open the armor.

The Detroit Steel suit allows its users to fly (though Sasha has this aforementioned ability without one), and usually is seen with a rotary cannon mounted on its right arm, and a specialized chainsaw on its left, which can penetrate Iron Man's Bleeding Edge Armor. There are rocket-powered munitions on the Detroit Steel suit's shoulders. The rotary cannon can be dismounted so that the soldier can carry and fire it as a traditional handheld weapon, and the Detroit Steel armor users have been seen outfitted with other types of weapons in this manner, including both directed-energy weapons and scaled-up rifles. Sasha's Detroit Steel armor has also been observed to have a directed-energy weapon in palm of its hands. Those who pilot the Detroit Steel armor are required to undergo considerable surgical modifications, which leave implants visible on the pilot's chest, which Lt. Johnson (who first piloted the Mark One) felt "turned ohnsoninto a monster", though Hammer (who already had undergone a number of enhancements by Zeke) regards herself as Stane's "masterpiece". As an executive of Hammer Industries, she has access to a wide range of armors that come in varying sizes and designs, with different models designed for different environments and hot zones, including arctic climates and urban encounters.

Hangman

Harlan Krueger

Harlan Krueger was created by Marv Wolfman and Gil Kane and first appeared in ''Werewolf by Night'' #11.

After being court-martialed from the army for torturing prisoners of war, Krueger resolved to take the law into his own hands and became the masked vigilante the Hangman. His modus operandi involves executing male criminals while leaving female ones alive but imprisoned to 'protect them' from corruption (many died of starvation while in captivity). After years of stalking criminals with a noose and scythe, he comes into conflict with the Werewolf.

The Hangman next stalks one of the Brothers Grimm, who had been stealing from diamond merchants. Mistaking one Brother Grimm (Jake) for his target (William), he pursued him to a pyrotechnics building and saw him seemingly die in an explosion. He was later one of the superhumans captured by the Locksmith and Tick-Tock.

The Hangman later kills a disguised woman, thus inadvertently violating his own moral code. As he knelt over the corpse in remorse, he was fatally stabbed by film reviewer Matthew O'Brien, who had been trying to stop the Hangman from his latest killing spree, impaling the Hangman through the back and chest with his own scythe.

Jason Roland

Roland was created by Roy Thomas and Barry Smith, and first appeared in '' Tower of Shadows'' #5. He was an actor who made a deal with the demon Satannish) to make his career successful, but was instead trapped in a monstrous form. He fought with the West Coast Avengers on several occasions.

As the Hangman, he possesses magically enhanced strength and durability; indeed, he has gone head-to-head with Wonder Man. His rope is also magically enhanced, making it virtually indestructible. He can also levitate his rope and climb it without it being attached to anything. He is in almost constant communication with Satannish, who can enhance his powers as needed.
