Adam Warlock managed to wrest control of the glove from Nebula they were returned to normal once more. Again Love and Master Hate attended a hearing presented by
Eternity and the
Living Tribunal and other cosmic beings to decide whether Adam should continue to have the gauntlet or to take it away from him. The Tribunal decided to instead to spread the Infinity Gems to others. After the hearing ended Love and her counter-part Master Hate left.

Silver Surfer and Love appeared to her when she was summoned by an Amaru ritual. Sympathetic to her plea Love turned her into
Avatar, an avatar of love. However Love’s opposite Master Hate was watching and offered Avatar additional strength. She accepted and became even more powerful. She confronted the Silver Surfer and was eventually defeated by him. Later still Thanos again gained immense power when he gained control of the Heart of the Infinites and was confronted by Love, Hate, and other cosmic entities.
