The Man of Miracles (or M.O.M.) is a fictional, mysterious super-being, featured in the Spawn comic book series.
[edit] Fictional character biography
The Man of Miracles has appeared to offer his guidance and wisdom to The Hellspawn so that he might play his part in Armageddon. He is a being of practically inconceivable power who has been the architect behind most of the events in the Spawn universe, holding significant knowledge of Al Simmons and his role as Spawn, knowledge that not even Mammon possesses and possessing powers beyond that of God or Satan. His true form is as the "Mother" of Existence, though he is neither male nor female.
It is revealed that Mother/Man of Miracles is in fact the one who walked among mortals as "Jesus Christ" (and thus, was actually independent of "God" in the Spawn universe). The twelve heavenly warriors known as the Disciples, formed from the souls of the Twelve Apostles, actually follow Man of Miracles above God.
Mother gave each of its 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 but given free will by Satan, became unique and Mother decided to act on their behalf, rather than let its children use them as cannon fodder. Mother stripped both of its children of their kingdoms and made them sleep in a forgotten corner of the universe. Mother then came to Earth as Jesus Christ, spreading a message of love and tolerance. This message being corrupted by mankind, Mother saw that Armageddon 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.
MoM's appearance changes depending upon who is perceiving him. He has appeared as an anime-inspired hero, as Miracleman and as a mysterious woman covered in ivy who was presumably Gaia, the Hindu goddess of Vengeance (known as Kali) Jesus Christ and as the Mother of Creation. People see him as they want to, he explains that this is because reality is far more maleable than humanity believes. In his anime guise, MoM's look changes consistently from panel to panel. The tattoos on his face are different each time, the logo on his chest appears and reappears and sometimes his shirt disappears but his logo remains visible on his skin. It is unknown why there is such little consistency to his look in this form.
