    Origin

    Master Hate is an abstract cosmic being who embodies hatred. His true origins or how he came to exist is a mystery. Master Hate first appeared to humans when he joined forces with other cosmic entities in order to stop Thanos, who had gained control of the Infinity Gauntlet. Among those cosmic entities was his counterpart Mistress Love. During the battle that ensued Thanos managed to turn the cosmic beings into statues. However, when Nebula gained control of the gauntlet, the entities were restored to their true forms and attacked Nebula hoping to steal the gauntlet from her. Nebula, however, gained too much power and stopped the entities once more. Later during the battle, Adam Warlock managed to gain control of the gauntlet and set reality straight.

    Creation

    Master Hate is a Marvel comics character, created by Jim Starlin and George Perez. Master Hate's first appearance is in Infinity Gauntlet #3. There is some inconsistency as far as Master Hate's gender, with ambiguity with it, some appearances portraying Master Hate as female, and some as male. Ultimately as Master Hate is an abstract and conceptual being with no actual gender, one can dismiss such inconsistencies as superficial.
