Civil War and the Initiative
After the events of the Civil War, Gorilla Girl was captured by the Thunderbolts. During her capture, she threw Penance down three flights of stairs, after which Penance beat her severely. She later registered with the Initiative and joined Camp Hammond along with Annex, Prodigy and others.
Secret Invasion
Despite acting heroically in Secret Invasion, Gorilla Girl began to fear her life, so she asked to be put in the reserves (despite Batwing's encouragement). However, on the taxi ride out, Thor's mad, cyborg-clone Ragnarok attacked the Initiative. Gorilla Girl at first tried to help protesters who were trying to flee, but then realized she was just causing more chaos, so she joined the fight, just in time to rescue Trauma. However, after doing this Ragnarok knocked her aside and tried to kill her, but the New Warriors intervened.
