I would love if this became a thing! Like, we already know that Gabriel thinks Marinette is a great designer, he’s probably super grateful for her for bringing back the Miraculous Book to him, not to mention he most likely caught on to her crush on his son when she did.
So, what if Gabriel took a liking to Marinette? Maybe trying to take her as an apprentice. Audrey even said that Marinette’s design reminds her of Gabriel, so maybe he even sees a bit of himself in her. What if, whether he takes her as an apprentice or not, he tries to groom her into the perfect akuma victim?
I just think it would be a super cool dynamic, to not only have the father of Marinette’s crush, but also the main villain of the show, target her in such a way
