In-universe, the appearances were subsequently ascribed to the character Man of Miracles, whose aspect is shaped by the perceptions of others. The two characters of the pre-existing Mother of Existence and Man of Miracles were then combined into one. According to a

It is revealed that Mother/Man of Miracles is in fact the one who walked among mortals as "

Twelve Apostles

, actually follow Man of Miracles above God.

Mother gave each of their infinite children a world to run as they wish;

was inevitable. Giving mankind a chance to survive, Mother 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. Mother 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.

Mother has also been revealed as being The Keeper of Greenworld, the voice of the Emerald Parliament and the one who originally summoned The Heap.

M.O.M.'s appearance changes depending upon who is perceiving them. They have appeared as an anime-inspired hero, as

When cloaked in their illusion, people see them as they want to, and they subsequently explains that this is because reality is far more malleable than humanity believes.

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. As of Resurrection and issue #250 onwards, Man of Miracles was retconned out due to legal issues with the Abrahamic origins of God and Satan now take over with the character and the arcs that feature him were retconned out; however, Mother of Existence does make a cameo in issue #297 and In the King Spawn series Gaia appears with a new redesign.
