Mothergod (Erica Pierce) is a fictional character from Valiant Comics. She was exposed to the same energies that turned Phil Seleski into Solar, and she gained the same energy and matter manipulation powers. Driven mad by the destruction and imperfect recreation of the universe, Mothergod sought to repair reality by erasing everything and starting again with the time streams aligned, leading to the events of the world-shaking UNITY Crossover.
[edit] Story
Erica worked as a physicist along with Phil Seleski at Edgewater Nuclear Plant when it almost exploded the first time. The same accident that gave Phil Seleski his powers, gave Erica her powers too. Later, when Seleski accidentally destroyed Earth and sent himself back in time, Erica was sucked back with him [Solar Man of the Atom (vol. 1) #12].
Erica's domestic life was bad and getting worse. It ended with her killing her abusive husband one evening [Solar Man of the Atom (vol. 1) #11]. While being in shock from the killing, the Erica Pierce who had traveled back in time came in and killed the Erica Pierce of this timeline and took over as her [Solar Man of the Atom (vol. 1) #12].
She took her son and went into hiding until August 5, 4001 when she set Unity in motion [Solar Man of the Atom (vol. 1) #12]. Seleski's trip back in time had messed up the timeline and Erica saw no way to untangle the mess. Instead she wanted to start fresh [Shadowman (vol. 1) #4]. Her plans were stopped and she was put in a wormhole of non-existence to keep her from doing any more harm [Unity (vol. 1) #1]. Erica was last seen in the wormhole during the second Unity [Unity 2000 (vol. 1) #2].
