What does it look like when someone becomes a God?

You heard me.
Lets for the sake of argument assume that there are Gods, and that a human can become one. What would it look like?

Exactly the same...just more glowy. Like an inner light that is not at all unpleasant.

It would reek of formaldehyde and over-starched formal clothing.

I dunno, like the blob from the climactic scene in "Akira" maybe Or eight arms and loads of old-fashioned weapons, like a Hindu deva

Kinda of what Kielbasa said. God is just the unity of everything at the core level. So "god" is everything, everywhere, all the time.

If someone becomes a God I think he or she becomes associated more and more with increasingly miraculous events (indicative of a separate reality forming) until he or she finally collapses in in on themself, decreasing and vanishing from this world, diminishing here but exploding into the big bang of a dimension that is their own.
In other words: within them is born a separate reality/dimensional network, which they finally get pulled into, and they literally *become* the Universe that is theirs.
Basically it would be a lot like what happens to Tetsuo in the manga movie "Akira", except I hope it will be far less messy to those who stay behind.
Contrary to Christians I believe that the Universe itself is a God, and not a creation of one. To name the sum of everything and all "God" is a matter of personal taste, but I see no reason why not to considering "everything and all" also encompasses all consciousness and sentience of everything within it.
As to what creates Universes, I think its either an unseen and extremely rare physics phenomenon that still defies explanation, something that happens in relation to black holes, or in relation to lifeforms and consciousness.
I do believe the descendents of the life force we're a part of eventually will achieve universe-creating technology, but I think more in terms of it being achieved through science more than through faith.

Seeing that the concept is so unfathomable for our minds to truly grip, I would think the form would follow suit.
'It' would be inconceivable. All and nothing. Everything.
