I don't know. Ignoring the Gabriel is Hawk Moth theory, the very idea of Hawk Moth Akumatizing himself doesn't seem right for the first episode of Season 2, in fact, it's a Season finale level concept. Think about it. If Hawk Moth Akumatized himself, how would Ladybug and Cat Noir stand a chance? Hawk Moth's Akumatized form would naturally be extremely powerful (Power Granting Akuma + Already Powerful Moth Miraculous), Hawk Moth would be 100% focused on stealing Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses with no distractions, and, unlike most of the citizens he's Akumatized, he's (supposedly) very intelligent and higly strategic. I'd say that Ladybug and Cat Noir would need the help of Queen Bee and the real Volpina to take him down, but that's just me.
