 More information on this character is available here: Mother of Existence. |
The Mother of Existence (also known as the Creator and Man of Miracles) is the enigmatic and nameless super-being that created the universe. This ageless, omnipotent being is featured in the Spawn comic book series.
Appearance[]
The Creator's appearance changes depending upon who is perceiving them. They have appeared as an anime-inspired hero, as Miracleman, as a mysterious nude woman covered in ivy who was presumably Gaea, Jesus Christ and, in their true form, as the Creator of Creation: a dark skinned, nude woman with a masculine body. When cloaked in an illusion, people see them as they want to, and they subsequently explain that this is because the reality is far more malleable than humanity believes. In their anime guise, their look changes consistently from panel to panel. The tattoos on their face are different each time, the logo on their chest appears and reappears, and sometimes their shirt disappears, but their logo remains visible on their skin. It is unknown why there is such little consistency to their look in this form.
History[]
The being known as the Mother is the creator of the universe. They are an ageless being of practically inconceivable and limitless power who has been the architect behind most of the events in the Spawn universe. Their true form is as the Mother of Existence, though they are neither female nor male, they are able to cast an illusion to make themselves look male if the situation requires.
In the beginning, the Creator formed many powerful entities as their children. The Creator gave each of their infinite children a world to run as they wish; God and Satan were both given Earth. God and Satan constantly bickered and fought to the point where they declared war on one another. Mankind, being created by God (from the Creator's energy) but given free will by Satan, became unique, and the Creator instantly fell in love with them and decided to act on their behalf, rather than let their children use them as cannon fodder. The Creator stripped both of their children of their kingdoms and made them sleep in a forgotten corner of the universe.
The Creator then came to Earth as the one who walked among mortals as "Jesus Christ," spreading a message of love and tolerance. The twelve heavenly warriors known as the Disciples, formed from the souls of the Twelve Apostles, followed the Creator above God. Hoewver, this message being corrupted by mankind, the Creator saw that Armageddon was inevitable. Giving mankind a chance to survive, the Creator preserved all the souls that had died in the same hour as Al Simmons and placed them inside of Spawn. Spawn represents the potential of mankind and must prove that humanity is worth saving from God and Satan's feud. The Creator also brought back God and Satan as the human children of Terry and Wanda Fitzgerald in order to give them an appreciation for humanity and change their ways. This plan failed, as the twins simply became more insane than before and wreaked further chaos on Earth. They have since regained their memories, powers, and kingdoms and are bolstering their armies for the final push that will begin Armageddon.
The Man of Miracles
During Armageddon, they appear to Spawn in the guise of the Man of Miracles, offering their guidance and wisdom to the Spawn so that it might play a part in Armageddon.
The Creator has also been revealed to be the Keeper of Greenworld, the voice of the Emerald Parliament and the one who originally summoned.

Notes[]
- The Man of Miracles was first introduced in Spawn #150. This character was very similar to the hero known as Miracleman (also known as Marvelman), popularized in the Eclipse Comics series written by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman. In his original appearance, he is named Mike Moran, the same human identity of Miracleman, with basically the same costume. Todd McFarlane bought the rights to Eclipse Comics, believing Miracleman was also a part of the deal. However, the rights to the character of Miracleman have been heavily contested. In court, a judge determined that McFarlane did not hold the rights to Miracleman. After this, the two characters of Mother of Existence and Man of Miracles were combined into one where they were supposed to always be the same being. Due to Resurrection and 250 the character and the arcs that feature him were retconned from the series.
