(Thunderbolts I#60 (fb) - BTS) - Chain Lightning became known as France's national heroine.
(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - After Earth's heroes left Counter-Earth Franklin, the planet suffered a series of natural disasters that led to global catastrophes. The problems didn't end even after Doctor Doom shifted the world from its pocket dimension to Earth-616's solar system. Throughout the ongoing crises, Germany remained one of the few nations that managed to maintain a thriving economy. As a result, the European country quickly rose to power and prominence.
(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - Hoping to capitalize on Germany's newfound importance, the World Party took center stage, now claiming to be a political alliance with tentative ties to, among others, France and the United States. Baron Heinrich Zemo was tasked to head up an elite team of super powered operatives.
(Thunderbolts I#60 (fb) - BTS) - Zemo founded the Thunderbolts: a group of international heroes operating out of Germany, but fighting for all of Earth. With himself as leader, he recruited Chain Lightning and the American mercenaries Makeshift, Phantom Eagle and Solarr.
(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - The Thunderbolts operated together for at least eight months. Zemo assured the allegiance of Chain Lightning and the others by making sure they lived in the lap of luxury.
(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - Chain Lightning and the other Thunderbolts were more than willing to help Baron Zemo spearhead a World Party approved plan to give Germany world dominance. The country would be launching a satellite that they claimed would help restore global communications. In reality, it was designed to only allow Germany access, which would give the country control over the world economy.
(Thunderbolts I#61 (fb) - BTS) - The Thunderbolts used their individual powers and expertise to help construct the rocket.

(fb) - BTS) - Chain Lightning joined Zemo and the others on a mission to
the former Soviet Union where they had to locate and secure a prototype
fuel injector assembly for the rocket.(Thunderbolts I#59) - While in Russia, they came across the unconscious bodies of the Thunderbolts who had just been transported to Counter-Earth following their fight against Graviton.
(Thunderbolts I#60) - Chain Lightning stood back, allowing the paranoid Zemo to question the newcomers who he believed to be mercenaries sent to thwart their mission. The Fixer tried to buy time for his teammates to recover, using the weapons in his Tech-Pac to keep the Thunderbolts at bay. Moonstone managed to defuse the situation by claiming they were merely hired hands sent by the World Party to check if the Thunderbolts were doing their duty. Satisfied with this explanation, Zemo allowed them to leave.
(Thunderbolts I#60 - BTS) - Zemo's Thunderbolts retrieved the fuel injector and returned to Germany. When Earth's Thunderbolts learned of Germany's upcoming launch, they decided to hijack the rocket and use it to leave Counter-Earth.
(Thunderbolts I#61) - Zemo's Thunderbolts continued to work on the rocket after returning from the Soviet Union. Chain Lightning accompanied Zemo when he went to assure World Party officials their mission was a success.
(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - Earth's Thunderbolts made it from Russia to Germany hours before the rocket launch.
(Thunderbolts I#62 - BTS) - Moonstone, Jolt and MACH-3, using fake ids created by Fixer, infiltrated the base while Atlas tunneled a way through the ground to reach the launch platform. However, 46 minutes before the launch, the Fixer abandoned his allies to carry out a mission for Helmut Zemo whose digitized essence was stored inside his Tech-Pac. Zemo needed a new body and threatened to shut down the Tech-Pac's life-preserving systems if Ebersol didn't find him one.
(Thunderbolts I#62) - After entering their facility, Fixer tried to use knock-out gas on Zemo's Thunderbolts. Chain Lightning proved immune to its effects and attacked, but the Fixer took her out by scrambling her bio-electric signature while also taking out Phantom Eagle in a similar way. Iron Cross attacked Fixer from behind, but that only gave Fixer the opening he needed to start transferring Zemo's essence from his Tech-Pac to his new host. He was forced to retreat when Chain Lightning and the others recovered and pursued him. The Thunderbolts intervened and helped out their teammate, with Jolt easily overpowering the French heroine.
(Thunderbolts I#62 - BTS) - The rocket launch went ahead as scheduled, but Earth's heroes made sure it exploded before it could deliver its payload. MACH-3 and Fixer then put out a worldwide broadcast, revealing Zemo and Germany's deception. Chain Lightning and the surviving members of Zemo's Thunderbolts were presumably incarcerated (see comments).
