6
7	[[folder:Agent K]]
8	!!Agent K/Kay (Kevin Brown)
9	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/EdORoss (Season 1); Creator/GreggBerger (Seasons 2-4)
10
11	One of the two main protagonists. Just like the film, Agent K is a veteran MIB agent who has served the organization since it was founded.
12	----
13	* AdaptationDyeJob:
14	** He's grey-haired in the film, but here in the cartoon he's a brunette.
15	** He remained grey-haired for the show's first season, but switched to a sort of redhead/brunette mix for Seasons 2 and on, most likely to make him closer match Kay's appearance in the original comic book.
16	* AgeLift: Sort of. He's still approximately the same age as in the movie, but he ''looks'' a few decades younger for some reason - then again, given that it has been established he can control his metabolism well enough to survive almost two hours without breathing, it can be assumed that he can slow down aging as well.
17	* BadassInANiceSuit: Being one of TheMenInBlack after all.
18	* CharacterCatchphrase: Whenever he and Jay introduce themselves to witnesses, he claims they come from "[Insert organization name], Division 6." In a later episode this is justified as the division of MIB he and Jay are part of ''is'' called "Division 6".
19	* TheComicallySerious: Much of his humor comes from [[SeenItAll his unsurprised reactions to everything about his job]].
20	* CoolOldGuy: A very skilled and experienced veteran agent with quite a reputation for being awesome.
21	* DeadpanSnarker: With emphasis upon [[TheComicallySerious deadpan]], much to Jay's annoyance.
22	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He often gives Jay a hard time, but really does care about his well-being.
23	* SeenItAll: Having served the MIB for decades, he's seen a lot of paranormal weirdness and is rarely ever shocked by anything new.
24	* TheStoic: The animated Kay is even more stoic than the live-action Kay, which is really saying something. He rarely ever shows any emotion on his face.
25	* TricksterMentor: He has a rather odd way of teaching Jay how to do things, and sometimes even withholds information from him until later.
26	[[/folder]]
27
28	[[folder:Agent J]]
29	!!Agent J/Jay (James Darrell Edwards III)
30	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/KeithDiamond
31
32	The other co-protagonist. Just like the film, he's Agent K's partner, and a naive rookie agent who's still learning how to do his job.
33	----
34	* BadassInANiceSuit: Being one of TheMenInBlack after all.
35	* ButtMonkey: Bad things tend to keep happening to Jay, including everything from AmusingInjuries to [[ForcedTransformation genetic mutations]]. Also, [[RunningGag he's not allowed to drive]] [[CoolCar Kay's Ford LTD]].
36	* CharacterCatchphrase:
37	** "[Insert organization name], Division 6."
38	** "I make this look good."
39	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He tends to make a lot of serious mistakes, but still proves his worth as an agent all the time.
40	* DeadpanSnarker: He's just as much a wise-ass as he is in the original film.
41	* InsistentTerminology: K often calls him "Slick", though he had to "earn" that right.
42	* ManChild: To an extent. Jay's constant nagging to Kay to allow him to drive the LTD often comes off this way. Also, because Jay is considered the "youngest and most immature" member of the MIB, in one episode he's ordered to go undercover as a teenage student in high school, in order to protect an alien diplomat's son from terrorists (with Kay eventually disguising himself as a substitute teacher, just to supervise both Jay and the boy).
43	* NaiveNewcomer: As an inexperienced rookie, he's often surprised and confused by what he sees on missions. Even as the series goes on, he doesn't quite change that much.
44	* RippleEffectProofMemory: In one episode, due to exposure to a piece of ImportedAlienPhlebotinum, he's the only one who realizes that someone is methodically [[RetGone wiping the founders of MIB, and thus the entire organization, out of existence]]. Unfortunately, the side effects were slowly killing him.
45	* SpottingTheThread: Agent J is quite adept at spotting inconsistencies in the various disguises and stories aliens put up to hide, enabling him to find the suspicious ones to focus in on. For example, one time he and Elle were driving around the city trying to find a disguised alien ship, and Jay singles out a blimp over Yankee Stadium; when Elle asks why that's suspicious, Jay replies there's no game being held that night. Another time, this almost bit everyone in the behind when [[spoiler:he was bait for Alpha. Jay was supposed to be mind probed by Alpha to lure him into a trap where Zed pretended to be retired, but Jay noticed Zed's eyes didn't turn glassy when Neuralyzed, so Alpha realized it was a set up]].
46	* UnresolvedSexualTension: One episode shows that he literally dreams of having Elle as his girlfriend. He also sometimes hangs out with her outside of work, implying that he enjoys her company. Despite he and Elle sharing a mutual infatuation towards each other and a close bond - evidenced by quite a few scenes in the show - their relationship never truly blossomed into a romance. By season 4 - the last season of the show - their relationship was never expanded upon.
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Chief Zed]]
50	!!Chief Zed
51	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/CharlesNapier
52
53	The current leader of the Men in Black.
54	----
55	* AdaptationDyeJob: He's a brunette in the film, and grey-haired in the animated series. Though he could be just be a [[AgeLift little older]]. It was even noted in one episode where he admits he used hair coloring but was letting it go natural.
56	* AgeLift: He looks noticeably older (and fatter) than his movie counterpart.
57	* BadassBureaucrat: He was (and still is) a competent agent in his own right, before he became a pencil-pushing administrator.
58	* BadassInANiceSuit: Being one of TheMenInBlack after all.
59	* CoolOldGuy: He may be old and physically unfit, but he can still fight foes such as [[spoiler:Alpha]].
60	* DaChief: The current leader of the Men in Black.
61	* DeadpanSnarker: Especially to Jay and the Worms.
62	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He can have a short temper and doesn't tolerate foolishness well, but he's seriously dedicated to his job of protecting humans and aliens alike.
63	[[/folder]]
64
65	[[folder:Agent L]]
66	!!Agent L/Elle (Dr. Laurel Weaver)
67	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JenniferLien (Seasons 1-3); Creator/JenniferMartin (Season 4)
68
69	An MIB doctor and scientist, and part-time field agent.
70	----
71	* ActionGirl: She's just as competent on the field as she is in the lab.
72	* AdaptationDyeJob: She was a brunette in the film, and blonde in the animated series.
73	* BadassBookworm: Her scientific know-how often helps save the day.
74	* BadassInANiceSuit: Being one of TheMenInBlack after all.
75	* BaritoneOfStrength: She's as dangerous with alien guns as she is with a scalpel, and with a smooth deep voice to match.
76	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: For three seasons she had been trying to become a full time agent, and she manages to get her wish when she finds a qualified replacement, Unfortunately, that got her partnered with Agent X.
77	* CaptainErsatz: Is more or less a blonde, [[TheScully more open-minded]] version of [[Series/TheXFiles Agent Dana Scully]].
78	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde and always courteous to her coworkers.
79	* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Equally skilled in medicine, engineering, physics, etc.
80	* TheSmartGuy: The lead (human) doctor/scientist in the organization, until she steps down with Dr. Zeeltor taking her role in the laboratory.
81	* UnresolvedSexualTension: She flirts with Jay quite a bit throughout the show, occasionally comforts him when he vents to her, and sometimes assists him in his schemes. She also sometimes hangs out with him outside of work, implying that she enjoys his company. Despite their mutual infatuation towards each other and close bond, their relationship never truly blossomed into a romance. By season 4 - the last season of the show - their relationship was never expanded upon.
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:Agent X]]
85	!!Agent X
86	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/AdamBaldwin
87
88	An alien police officer who joins the MIB in Season 4 due to pressure by alien activist groups. He's assigned to be Agent L's partner.
89	----
90	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: There's an agent in the original comics named Ecks, who's human and a rogue agent.
91	* AntiHero: His morals are considerably looser than the other agents.
92	* BadassInANiceSuit: Being one of TheMenInBlack after all.
93	* BloodKnight: He seems to enjoy getting into action and combat for its own sake.
94	* CowboyCop: Impulsive, reckless and insanely gung-ho. L describes him as being less like a "loose cannon" and more like a "megaton bomb". The only reason she's stuck with him is because Zed is giving her a chance to be a field agent, and X was sent by his people as an ambassador, so Zed killed two birds with one stone, but has to deal with their incisive bickering.
95	* DeadpanSnarker: He makes a lot of unflattering remarks about Earth and humans.
96	* FantasticRacism / PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He openly regards humans as being inferior to his kind.
97	* FieryRedhead: Although his true form is completely bald, his HumanDisguise includes red hair, which perfectly suits his hot-blooded personality.
98	* GoodIsNotNice / {{Jerkass}}: Tact and politeness are not his strong suit.
99	* HeroOfAnotherStory: He was a notorious policeman back in his home galaxy, and was awarded for bravery (and suspended for recklessness) multiple times.
100	* HummerDinger: While most MIB agents drive [=LTDs=], X insisted on an SUV.
101	* MinorityPoliceOfficer: He was transferred to the MIB after the Alien Rights Commission complained that the organization only hired aliens as support staff and had no non-human agents, though it is also implied that X's own police force might have wanted him out of their hair due to X being such a CowboyCop.
102	* SixthRanger: He's introduced and joins the main cast only in the fourth (and final) season.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:The Twins]]
106	!!The Twins (Idiukupkup and Bob)
107	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PatPinney and Creator/PatFraley
108
109	Two aliens who help coordinate MIB missions.
110	----
111	* AdaptationNameChange: In the film, Idiukupkup was named Bweryang.
112	* AerithAndBob: Idiukupkup and Bob in this case.
113	* AscendedExtra: They appear for a few seconds in the film, here they are featured more prominently.
114	* MissionControl: Their job is monitoring [=MiB=] operations around the globe.
115	* MultiArmedMultitasking: Their alien biology allows them to do more monitoring than a similarly skilled human.
116	* StarfishAliens: They have multiple long arms, and their heads are just single eye-stalks.
117	* TheUnintelligible: The audience has no idea of [[StarfishLanguage what they say]], but Zed does.
118	* ThoseTwoGuys: Hence "The Twins" instead of their individual names.
119	[[/folder]]
120
121	[[folder:Dr. Zeeltor]]
122	!!Doctor Zandozz Zeeltor
123	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/SteveKehela
124
125	A genius alien scientist who starts working for the MIB in Season 4, replacing Elle as the leader of the science department.
126	----
127	* AmusingAlien: He's a goofy MadScientist.
128	* GadgeteerGenius: He invents several gadgets for the MIB.
129	* MadScientist: He's certainly rather eccentric.
130	* PerpetualSmiler: He constantly grins and keeps a cheerful attitude, [[MoodDissonance even when giving bad news]].
131	* TheSmartGuy: One of the most brilliant minds in the known universe.
132	* SixthRanger: Like Agent X, he's a newcomer introduced only in the fourth season.
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Agent U]]
136	!!Agent U/You (Upton)
137	->'''Voiced By:''' Unknown
138
139	A minor MIB agent who appears occasionally.
140	----
141	* ButtMonkey: Agents J and K both seem to not like or respect him much due to being a ProfessionalButtKisser.
142	* FlatCharacter: He doesn't appear often or get much characterization, beyond being an unimportant joke character.
143	* GoofySuit: One of his duties is entertaining and educating alien children as "Oxy the Centipede."
144	* HateSink: His only purpose in the show is to be a boring, unfunny suck-up extraordinaire who the other agents don't like.
145	* ProfessionalButtKisser / YesMan: He's always eager to suck-up to Chief Zed and Agent K.
146	* WhosOnFirst: There's a RunningGag in which someone refers to "U", and someone else mishears it as "You".
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	!Allies
150
151	[[folder:The Worms]]
152	!!The Worms
153	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PatPinney and Creator/PatFraley (as two Worms each)
154
155	Four small yellow aliens who frequently hang around the kitchen in the MIB headquarters. They have an overwhelming addiction to coffee.
156	----
157	* AmusingAlien: They're the single greatest source of comic relief in many episodes.
158	* HiddenDepths:
159	** When they were fired and set to be deported, they cited a bylaw about how any alien facing deportation can request a tribunal hearing from the MIB. According to K, the rule is "obscure, but on the books."
160	** They were revealed to be fans of baseball, even holding an annual game, in "The Loose Ball Foul Syndrome." Of course, this fondness for baseball stems from admiration of Joe [=DiMaggio=] for popularizing Mr. Coffee.
161	* {{Manchild}}: All of them behave like immature children who can't ever have enough candy (or coffee in their case) and are prone to doing stupid things without ever thinking of the consequences. They even go trick-or-treating in the HalloweenEpisode, with Agent J supervising them like a reluctant babysitter.
162	* MustHaveCaffeine / TrademarkFavoriteFood: They are ''extremely'' obsessed with drinking coffee, always talking about it and planning to obtain more of it. They say that only royalty is allowed to drink it on their planet, so it's quite a ForbiddenFruit for them.
163	* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Their exact position within the MIB was never mentioned and they were never shown doing anything outside of one episode where Zed had them keep an eye on MIB's reactor, and even then this was only because the reactor's regular technician had called in sick and no one else was available besides the Worms. It is implied that they were some kind of diplomats, which would explain why Zed put up with their antics, at least until "The Bye-Bye Worm Syndrome."
164	* SidekickCreatureNuisance: All of them are quite diminutive, and tend to get on the nerves of other people at MIB (especially Chief Zed, as the Worms like to steal coffee from his office).
165	* SkewedPriorities: Their efforts to get coffee by any means (including leaving MIB HQ without a disguise) often leads to chaos and trouble.
166	* TooDumbToLive: To give one example, when the Worms were assigned to help with maintenance on the MIB's nuclear reactor, they tried using hot water ''from the cooling system'' to make coffee. The result was as disastrous as you would expect. [[spoiler:Though to be fair, someone already drained 6000 gallons out of it first to sabotage it.]]
167	[[/folder]]
168
169	[[folder:Troy the Symbiote]]
170	!!Troy the Symbiote
171	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/RinoRomano
172
173	A young alien creature who left his mother to join MIB as an intern. He needs to be attached to another organism to survive.
174	----
175	* AmusingAlien: Due to being a hyperactive, [[MotorMouth talkative]] kid.
176	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He was made an MIB intern in Season 2, appearing in several episodes before just being dropped without any explanation at all in Season 3.
177	* {{Fanboy}}: He's very fond of Earth's pop culture, especially Hollywood movies.
178	* FusionDance: If he were to be attached to a single host for more than 20 hours, they'll permanently become one. So he constantly jumps from one host to another.
179	* HealingFactor: Symbiotes and their hosts can regenerate just about any injury. They can also heal others with a touch.
180	* MotorMouth: There's rarely a moment when he doesn't have anything to say, and he'll chatter on and on to his hosts.
181	* {{Panacea}}: Symbiotes having amazing healing powers, though they are apparently not completely fullproof, as Troy and his host were shown infected by the alien spores in "The Bad Seed Syndrome."
182	* ThePollyanna: Always cheerful and optimistic.
183	* TheSymbiote: His species can only survive by living in the bodies of other beings.
184	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: To an extent. He can't disguise himself as anyone, but can change his host's limbs into weapons and such.
185	[[/folder]]
186
187	[[folder:Aileen]]
188	!!Agent Aileen
189	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/BethBroderick
190
191	A female alien agent who serves an extraterrestrial organization affiliated with the MIB. And an old colleague of Kay whom he knew "intimately".
192	-----
193	* ActionGirl: She's a female alien cop.
194	* BadassInANiceSuit: Not a member of Earth's Men In Black, but she serves a very similar law enforcement group from another planet.
195	* BizarreAlienBiology: She tends to her wounds by pouring orange juice on them after being given a glass of it by K.
196	* CombatTentacles: Her fingers are stretchy tendrils that can extend to long lengths, very useful for grabbing and climbing on things.
197	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She has blue skin, but otherwise her true body doesn't look much different from her HumanDisguise.
198	* ItsPersonal: At one point she assists Kay and Jay with recapturing a shapeshifting criminal that killed her previous partner.
199	* LoveInterests: She's an old lover of Kay whom he still has strong feelings for. Jay even notes how Kay acts much less stoic around her.
200	[[/folder]]
201
202	[[folder:Frank the Pug]]
203	!!Frank the Pug
204	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/EddieBarth
205
206	A dog-like alien [[ShapedLikeItself disguised as a dog]]. He's frequently a paid informant for the MIB.
207	----
208	* AmusingAlien: Due to superficially resembling a [[TalkingAnimal talking dog]] (especially with his gruff New York accent).
209	* AscendedExtra: Had a minor role in the movie, but shows up many times in the series.
210	* CharacterCatchPhrase: "I only ''look like'' a dog!"
211	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Both MIB agents and aliens alike treat him like a dog, even when he doesn't need to act like one. It doesn't help that his true form looks similar to his disguise.
212	* HiddenDepths: He is quite the amateur Egyptologist.
213	* {{Hypocrite}}: Frank is constantly reminding people that he only looks like a dog, and has to act like one to keep the {{Masquerade}}. Yet he will continue to act like a dog in places where he doesn’t need to, like MIB headquarters. This includes growling at those who annoy or anger him and scarfing down food. Possibly justified, as he’s been in a dog disguise for so long that he’s [[BecomingTheMask stuck in character]].
214	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's mostly out for himself, but shows a kinder, altruistic side every so often.
215	* LongLived: He was still alive a 150 years in the future in "The Future's So Bright Syndrome."
216	* LovableCoward: He's lousy at fighting and always tries to flee at the first sign of danger.
217	* LoveMakesYouDumb: In one episode he starts dating a female alien, [[FemmeFatale who's really playing him for a sucker]] [[HoneyTrap by tricking him into spilling MIB secrets for her mobster boyfriend]]. Though he does realize his mistakes in the end.
218	* PaperThinDisguise: He reveals what he looks like without his dog "skin," and he looks almost exactly the same except for some antennae and that his paws are more claw-like.
219	* PetTheDog: Rather literally; in the GrandFinale, [[PapaWolf he protects]] an abandoned litter of puppies and guides them to safety during an [[AlienInvasion Ixion attack on New York City]].
220	* ReformedCriminal: Of sorts. Frank was at least once jailed on another planet for unspecified crimes. And he's rather knowledgeable about the criminal underworld, which is why Kay and Jay frequently use him as an informant. Though unlike Jeebs, Frank isn't (actively) involved in organized crime now.
221	* SignedUpForTheDental: Why he helps MIB: he gets perks like invites to agent-only rewards in exchange for regular information.
222	* TheStoolPigeon: When the agents need a lead, they will go to Frank the Pug first.
223	[[/folder]]
224
225	[[folder:Jack Jeebs]]
226	!!Jack Jeebs
227	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/TonyShalhoub (first few episodes); Creator/BillyWest (rest of series)
228
229	An alien criminal who runs a black market pawn shop. He's a reluctant MIB informant who often gets his head blown off.
230	----
231	* AlienBlood: He frequently bursts into a puddle of green goo whenever attacked.
232	* AmusingAlien: Due to constantly receiving AmusingInjuries.
233	* ArmsDealer: He often sells illegal weapons to various alien criminals passing by his shop.
234	* AscendedExtra: He plays a greater role in the TV show than the film.
235	* BlatantLies: Whenever interrogated by Jay and Kay, Jeebs will claim not to have interacted with any criminals who visited his shop. He's never able to convince them.
236	* ButtMonkey: Jeebs will get comically abused and seriously injured OncePerEpisode, most often with [[YourHeadAsplode his head being blown up]]. It goes into [[KarmicButtMonkey karmic territory]] whenever he's pressed into helping antagonists like Alpha.
237	* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Dak's Cain. Downplayed because Jack himself is an amoral slimebag, though nowhere near as bad as his brother.
238	* CharacterCatchPhrase: "That really stings!"
239	* DirtyCoward: He'll do anything to save his own skin whenever threatened by others. For example, attacking other aliens when Alpha forcefully demanded that he give him some new body parts.
240	* FriendInTheBlackMarket: A merchant of illicit goods who's deeply connected to the alien underworld.
241	* HealingFactor: He instantly regenerates from any injury he suffers, no matter how extreme. This unfortunately drives many characters to shoot his head off constantly as a threat, which according to Jeebs still hurts.
242	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: As his only true allegiance is to himself, he'll help both the MIB and their enemies, depending on which immediately benefits him more.
243	* HonestJohnsDealership: His store even looks like a typical shady pawn shop.
244	* HumanAliens: He's not wearing a disguise as far as we can tell.
245	* {{Jerkass}}: He only looks out for his own self-interest.
246	* KarmaHoudini: Aside from all the slapstick abuse he receives, he never faces any real prosecution for the crimes he commits or makes himself accomplice of, even after helping Alpha several times. Presumably because he's just too important as a stool pigeon to be incarcerated or deported.
247	* LosingYourHead: Happens so often that it's a RunningGag.
248	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Greed is his main motivation.
249	* PowerfulButIncompetent: Jeebs is immortal or very nearly so and can regenerate from anything so long as he is in an oxygenated environment, but all of that is moot since Jeebs is so adverse to pain that he never even tries to fight, and while this is understandable when it comes to the likes of the MIB or Alpha, even run-of-the-mill robbers are able to cow Jeebs into submission just by flashing a RayGun. His brother, Dak, notably showed just how formidable someone with Jeebs's powers can be if they are not a DirtyCoward.
250	* TheStoolPigeon: Much like Frank, he often informs the MIB about criminal activity (albeit very reluctantly).
251	* WouldHurtAChild: Jeebs is afraid of Alpha to the point that he’s willing to kidnap a alien baby in front of his parents, not caring that Alpha will amputate the infant’s arm to replace his own. After his first attempt to abduct the baby failed, he planned to knock him out with a stick. When K learns that Jeebs was the one stalking the family, he lets him know what he thinks about the crime by [[EveryoneHasStandards blasting him in the head the moment he enters his shop]].
252	[[/folder]]
253
254	[[folder:Emperor Worm]]
255	!!Emperor Worm
256	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/DannyMann
257
258	The monarch of planet Takwalla, which is the homeworld of the Worms. He comes to visit Earth for diplomatic matters twice.
259	----
260	* AdiposeRex: He's both taller and fatter than the other Worms, and he even likes to refer to himself as being "LargeAndInCharge".
261	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Subverted. He tries to speak English, but his grasp of the language is incredibly poor (at one point, the four Worms even ask him to restate what he said in their native language). See MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels below.
262	* BerserkButton: He doesn't take it well when he catches the quartet of Worms at MIB drinking coffee, because they are commoners.
263	* DistressedDude: In his second appearance, he has the misfortune of staying in the same hotel with a much more evil monarch, the Bug Queen, who takes him hostage and attempts to feed him to her young.
264	* FatSlob: He was the fattest Worm to appear on the show, and absolutely trashed the hotel room that he was staying in in no time flat in "The Mine, Mine, Mine Syndrome."
265	* HawaiianShirtedTourist: He disguises himself as a stereotypical "I ♥ New York" tourist in "The Mine, Mine, Mine Syndrome."
266	* TheGoodKing: He is a bit of a slob, but otherwise appeared to be a decent ruler, seemingly not punishing the Worms and even allowing them to remain on Earth after he caught them drinking coffee, and giving them a grateful hug and seemingly agreeing to their request that they be legally allowed to drink coffee after they helped save him from the Bug Queen.
267	* MustHaveCaffeine: Apparently, coffee is a drink reserved only for himself and other royalty/nobility on his planet.
268	* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: He claims to have learned English from "books on tapeworm", and greets humans with sayings like, "Greetings from my bottom!". The only phrase of English he can speak properly is "I am {{large and in charge}}."

270
271	!Enemies
272
273	[[folder:Alpha]]
274	!!(Former Agent) Alpha
275	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/DavidWarner
276
277	A rogue MIB agent who once led the organization until he betrayed them. He steals organs from aliens in order to become more physically powerful.
278	----
279	* ArchEnemy: To all of MIB, and to Kay in particular, due to him being MIB's most dangerous enemy,and him having been one of the founders and the original leader of MIB, and Kay's mentor and former friend before his betrayal.
280	* BadBoss: To Jack Jeebs, who he often makes an accomplice by terrorizing him. He constantly intimidates Jeebs and has threatened him many times. He is also not nice toward his sentient alien parts, all of whom were maimed and absorbed into him against their wishes. When some of them are finally freed of his body and turned back to normal in "The Heads You Lose Syndrome", they waste no time trying to get revenge on him.
281	* BaldOfEvil: He's balding in his default form, and the little hair he has is gone after his second transformation.
282	* BigBad: The most recurring and dangerous antagonist in the series.
283	* BodyHorror: All of his augmentations, both cyborg and biological.
284	* BrokenPedestal: To Kay, who viewed him as his mentor and friend before Alpha became evil and attempted to kill him.
285	* TheChessmaster / EvilGenius: He knows everything there is to know about the Men in Black and extraterrestrials, and is quite a cunning mastermind. [[SmartPeoplePlayChess He even enjoys playing literal games of chess]].
286	* TheComicallySerious: He was unaware (until it was pointed out to him) that one of Zed's extracted "memories" was just the ending of ''Literature/OldYeller.''
287	* ConsultingAConvictedKiller: Agents J and K visit him in captivity to ask him about a case suspiciously similar to one he had solved, prior to him turning rogue. K gets tired of Alpha's mind games, but J is much more optimistic, especially since all Alpha wants is for the agents to play chess with him while they question him. Alpha's information proves helpful, [[spoiler:primarily because Alpha is actually partners with the alien criminals]], and J decides to thank Alpha by giving him a children's electronic chess game to pass his time in prison. K figures out much too late that this was all a massive ruse and, sure enough, Alpha uses the electronics inside the toy to escape prison.
288	* {{Cyborg}}: He becomes this in the final season, deciding that mechanical augmentations are better than biological enhancements.
289	* DeadpanSnarker: Creepy as he is, he has more than his share of amusing moments thanks to his snarky attitude.
290	* TheDreaded: Is greatly feared and taken totally seriously by the MIB, with even K being on edge when Alpha is around. He is also feared by aliens, with Jack Jeebs being terrified of him, and often working for Alpha out of fear of him, and even Dak is intimidated by him.
291	* EvilBrit: As usual with David Warner.
292	* EvilFormerFriend: Was Kay's friend until he betrayed his trust.
293	* EvilOldFolks: He's an old man, and an irredeemable sociopath.
294	* EvilVersusOblivion: [[spoiler:In the finale, he fights to stop Vangus from destroying the Earth, since its destruction would leave nothing for him to rule over. Ironically, this gets him killed when he tries to disarm the missile Vangus fired at the planet, since he failed to disarm it in time, and is destroyed along with the missile when J and K blow it up.]]
295	* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Downplayed. He is initially calm when he is stuck on the missile Vangus fires at Earth, since at least if he can't rule the Earth, nobody else will. He does have an OhCrap right before J and K blow up the missile, but it's remarkably understated.]]
296	-->''[[spoiler:"Oh...not like this."]]''
297	* FallenHero / FaceHeelTurn: The first leader of the MIB, who turned evil.
298	* FauxAffablyEvil: He's always polite and greets Kay as if he's still an old friend. But in reality, he's a cold-blooded and heartless monster.
299	* FinalBoss: Along with Vangus, he leads an AlienInvasion in the GrandFinale episode.
300	* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Alpha was a normal human whose start of darkness began when he found the Cosmic Integrator and found its possibilities too good to ignore. Even though he slowly becomes a HybridMonster by travelling though the galaxy for twenty years, he retains his human mind, which is what essentially drives him to steal and graft alien body parts to himself. Alpha is a symbol of what a human being is capable of if they suddenly gain access to dangerous alien technology, and his actions further justify the MIB's need to keep the secret of aliens.
301	* GadgeteerGenius: Generally downplayed due to his primary interests being biological in nature, but Alpha consistently shows a startling degree of skill in the manipulation of almost any technology, whether alien or human. Even when left in a physically decrepit state with little mental stimulation for several months, he manages to escape a maximum security MIB prison cell (part of which is effectively a metal coffin) using the pieces from an electronic chess board.
302	* HumanoidAbomination: Some of his augmented forms are more so than others, but they are ''never'' a pleasing sight.
303	* HybridMonster: He was born human, but has attached so many different alien body parts to himself that he barely qualifies as one anymore.
304	* ImmortalitySeeker: He wants to cheat death, and accomplishes this by [[ImmortalityImmorality removing some key organs from aliens with indefinite lifespans]].
305	* JokerImmunity: He was blown up, blown up while in space, knocked down an Antarctic abyss, [[spoiler:and blown up while in space ''again'', this time by an Earth-destroying missile. And the video game ''Men in Black: The Series – Crashdown'' revealed that he managed to survive even ''that'', and while the game ends with Alpha seemingly being killed again, knowing Alpha...]]
306	* KnightOfCerebus: The tone always darkens and the stakes are raised whenever he's present.
307	* MultipleHeadCase: Any alien heads that Alpha integrates into himself still have minds of their own and can even talk, but they are subservient to Alpha.
308	--> '''Alien:''' Hey, I've got a human attached to me! Give me some wart remover!\
309	'''Alpha:''' [[DopeSlap Shut up]].
310	* OrganTheft: His {{Evil Plan}}s usually involve stealing body parts from aliens. He eventually switches over to robot parts.
311	* ManipulativeBastard: He secretly toyed with Agent Kay and the rest of the Men in Black, as part of his sinister schemes to steal the Cosmic Integrator and [[LesCollaborateurs sell out Earth to an alien empire]]. Much later in the series, he [[spoiler:tricks Agent Jay into giving him some improvised tools to escape from his MIB prison cell]].
312	* PupatingPeril: "The Quick Clone Syndrome" reveals that Alpha has been recovering from the injuries he suffered back in his first episode by wrapping himself up in a cocoon deep in the sewers. Having transformed into an even less human shape in the intervening time, he goes on the offensive as soon as J and K begin forcing his cocoon open.
313	* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: How he tried to justify using the Cosmic Integrator.
314	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: To the point that J bribes him to reveal information by allowing him to have an electronic chess board in his cell. Alpha reveals he is even smarter by using it to escape.
315	* TheSociopath: He's a [[FauxAffablyEvil superficially charming]], [[ManipulativeBastard ruthless manipulator]] who was respected and trusted enough to become leader of the Men in Black, but had no qualms over backstabbing his own organization (and the rest of his own species), all for the sake of gaining more power. And of course, he doesn't care how many innocent lives it takes to become the ultimate life-form.
316	* TakeOverTheWorld: His ultimate goal in the two-part finale is to enslave any and all surviving humans after the [[AlienInvasion Ixion invasion of Earth]] is complete.
317	* ThatManIsDead: According to Kay, "The Alpha [he] knew died 20 years ago."
318	* TranshumanTreachery: With every alteration he makes to his body, he comes off as becoming less and less human, both literally and figuratively.
319	* TreacherousAdvisor: Used to be Kay's mentor.

322	[[folder:Buzzard]]
323	!!Buzzard (Treblor)
324	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/ShermanHoward
325
326	A Zombarian police officer turned bounty hunter, who finds and captures other aliens on behalf of his clients.
327	----
328	* BadassLongcoat: A mercenary who wears a ConspicuousTrenchcoat as a disguise, and is skilled and tough enough to fight Agent K to a draw. Though he ditches the coat when he actually starts to engage someone in combat.
329	* BizarreAlienBiology: He has three mouths and grasshopper-like, reverse-jointed legs.
330	* BountyHunter: He's an alien bounty hunter who's paid to find and capture other aliens, no questions asked.
331	* CodeName: "Buzzard"; his real name seems to be Treblor.
332	* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Makes his introduction in a noir-like black trenchcoat and fedora hat, complete with a breather mask and facial bandages. This disguise does relatively little to hide his alien features, among other things because he is still toweringly tall and it does not even cover entirely his skin, but it is played for creepiness rather than for laughs.
333	* EvilVersusEvil: In his first episode, Buzzard was sent to Earth to track down a fugitive criminal. Buzzard lied about still being a cop, was only doing the job for money, and tried to murder Kay for getting in his way. However, he's ''not nearly'' as evil as the fugitive he was after -- [[spoiler:a vicious SerialKiller who ''eats'' other sapient aliens]].
334	* LawmanGoneBad: He served in law enforcement before he found new work as an amoral mercenary.
335	* LeanAndMean: Freakishly tall (mostly when outstretched, given that he usually has a crouched down stance) and very thin, and definitely not a nice guy at all.
336	* LightningBruiser: Very fast and tough, and can perform [[InASingleBound high jumps]] with his long legs.
337	* RealNameAsAnAlias: Goes under his former identity as a Zombarian law enforcement agent with his real name.
338	* SinisterShades: Wears green goggles over his eyes.
339	* TheStoic: His reserved demeanor really adds to his overall creepy mannerisms.
340	* OneManArmy: The guy is dangerous enough to require a literal army to chase him away.
341	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last time we see Buzzard in the series, he is zapped away by K. It is unknown if he escaped, or was captured or even killed.

343
344	[[folder:Drekk]]
345	!!Drekk
346	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/BrionJames (Season 2); Creator/RonPerlman (Season 3)
347
348	A professional criminal who once shared a prison cell with Frank the Pug. He's a big brute who can shoot fire from his hands.
349	----
350	* AttentionWhore: This proved to be his undoing in "The Breaking News Syndrome." Drekk demanded that the alien reality show crew that had been documenting K be present for his showdown with the MIB, and when it looked like he had won, Drekk, egged on by the show's director, got so caught up mugging for the camera and showboating that he got ambushed and taken down by J.
351	* AxCrazy: He wants to burn up anyone who has ever crossed him, preferably by "boiling 'em alive" in a vat of hot liquids.
352	* TheBrute: He's huge, muscular, imposing, and is just as scary as he looks. However, he averts DumbMuscle.
353	* FauxAffablyEvil: He greets Frank like an old friend, before threatening him due to being a snitch for the MIB.
354	* HairTriggerTemper: He's certainly very hot-headed, both figuratively and literally.
355	* {{Jerkass}}: He's an ill-tempered, violent thug who threatens and throttles even the people he considers friends.
356	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's a dimwitted thug with odd speech patterns, but he's also extremely violent and prone to anger, making him very dangerous.
357	* PlayingWithFire: His hands can shoot out fireballs, and can also burn whatever he touches at will.
358	[[/folder]]
359
360	[[folder:Dak Jeebs]]
361	!!Dak Jeebs
362	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/BillyWest
363
364	Jack Jeebs' evil(er) brother, who briefly worked as a henchman for Alpha.
365	----
366	* AlienBlood: His body fluids are also green.
367	* BaldOfEvil: Dak is revealed to be wearing a toupee when it is sucked into the vacuum of space.
368	* BigBrotherBully: To Jack, whom he frequently bellitles and blows his head up despite knowing fully well that Jack hates "the sting". When Jay approaches him while disguised as Jack, Dak tries to blow his head up again (which would have killed Jay) despite his brother having a lens he needed, only to be stopped by Alpha, and chooses to pull "Jack" by the ear instead.
369	* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Jack's Abel. Downplayed because Jack himself is an amoral slimebag, though nowhere near as bad as his brother.
370	* TheDragon: Serves as this to Alpha during two episodes, helping him against MIB first out of greed and then for revenge after having been defeated by Jay.
371	* DragonAscendant: Dak ends up as Alpha's "partner" after the two end up merged together.
372	* EvilTwin: Nastier than his brother (though Jack himself is ''very'' far from being a saint).
373	* FusionDance: When Dak (and Alpha) are [[JokerImmunity apparently]] "[[NotQuiteDead killed]]" after the former's first appearance, they accidentally merge into a single being with two heads, much to Dak's dismay. Fortunately they're separated in the end.
374	* HealingFactor: Being the same species as Jack after all, he can recover from any wounds. His regenerative abilities also apply during the time he's merged with Alpha.
375	* HumanAliens: Just like his brother, he looks completely human unless splattered into green goo.
376	* PsychoForHire: He works as a mercenary, and has no issue working with Alpha or trying to destroy all of the MIB as part of his job, even smiling when it looks like "Tubby" the solar cannon is going to annihilate MIB HQ.
377	* {{Revenge}}: His main motivation in "The Cold Sweat Syndrome" is to get revenge on Jay for having been defeated and blown into space by him.
378	* TooKinkyToTorture: Unlike Jack, Dak ''enjoys'' the pain of having his head blasted off and growing back.
379	[[/folder]]
380
381	[[folder:Edmund Clark Moffat]]
382	!!Edmund Clark Moffat
383	-> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/VincentDOnofrio
384
385	A paranoid conspiracy theorist that turned out to be somewhat right when he accidentally discovered the existence of the MIB. He steals a time travel device to try to wipe the original founders from existence because in his warped mind, if the MIB didn't exist then there would be no aliens on Earth.
386	----
387	* AndIMustScream: It initially looked like Moffat was assassinating the MIB founders, but it turned out that what he was really doing was far worse, trapping them in a BlankWhiteVoid outside of time in which they were still fully aware, being shown begging K for help when he was partially sucked into a portal that was opened by Moffat.
388	* FormerBigot: The ending implies that he ended up becoming one of the founders of the MIB through his own time travel shenanigans.
389	* HeelFaceBrainwashing: J and K alter Moffat's memories and erase his bigotry before knocking him through a portal to the site of First Contact five minutes before it was set to happen, creating a CloseEnoughTimeline in which Moffat helped found the MIB.
390	* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Moffat was the show's only human villain other than Alpha, and like Alpha he was utterly reprehensible, hating any and all aliens because "Earth is for ''Earthlings.''" He was also willing to condemn other humans (who he derisively called "alien lovers") to a FateWorseThanDeath to achieve his deranged dream of an alien-free Earth, and while he did get a kind of redemption, it was only due to HeelFaceBrainwashing. J notably saw Moffat as being no different than any other bigot, and even called his actions "hate crimes."
391	* IrrationalHatred: His hatred towards aliens is almost described as this word for word by Jay. While some wariness of aliens is understandable and obviously some aliens are evil, Edmund's hatred bordered on fanaticism. He truly believed that by destroying the MIB, no aliens would appear on Earth and it never occurred to him that the MIB isn't the reason aliens even come to Earth to begin with. The MIB is a police organization and 99% of aliens that come to Earth do so for reasons that have nothing to do with the MIB.

394	[[folder:The Bugs]]
395	!!The Bugs (Drones and Queen)
396	->'''Bug Drones Voiced By:''' Creator/VincentDOnofrio
397	->'''Bug Queen Voiced By:''' Creator/MaryKayBergman
398
399	Giant arthropod aliens, who are the same species as (and directly related to) "Edgar the Bug" from the first film.
400	-----
401	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: All of them are aggressive assholes who want to kill and eat other aliens or humans.
402	* BigEater: They constantly crave sugary food and live prey.
403	* EnemyCivilWar: Three bugs came to Earth to capture L for the Queen; all of them are constantly fought each other to get a hold of L.
404	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[MamaBear The Queen]] is absolutely pissed about Edgar's death, and [[AvengingTheVillain orders a bounty on Agent L]] for the other Bugs to claim; she wants them to capture Elle alive so she can be executed by the Queen herself.
405	* ExplosiveBreeder: The Queen has millions of offspring. She later decides to move to Earth to infest the planet with her many eggs, and she was able to lay hundreds in just a few seconds.
406	* GreaterScopeVillain: The Bug Queen was this for the first film and "The Big Bad Bug Syndrome." She finally appeared in-person in "The Mine, Mine, Mine Syndrome."
407	* InsectQueen: Obviously, the Bug Queen is the leader and mother of all the other Bugs.
408	* InsectoidAliens: Of course, they're a whole species of BigCreepyCrawlies, and they even have a hive-like social structure.
409	* KilledOffForReal: The Bug Queen is electrocuted to the point of exploding in "The "J" is for James Syndrome."
410	* KillItWithIce: They were revealed to an aversion to the cold in "The Mine, Mine, Mine Syndrome."
411	* LaughablyEvil: Much like Edgar the Bug from the first film, they've got a twisted sense of humor around them.
412	* OlderThanTheyLook: The Bug Queen disguises herself as a preteen when visiting Earth, though is already old enough to [[ExplosiveBreeder reproduce]].
413	* SiblingRivalry: Not all the Bugs get along with each other. Three different brothers compete to try and kidnap Elle to avenge Edgar's death, [[spoiler:only for two of the Bugs to [[CainAndAbel murder the other one]]. It's stated that this could cause a CivilWar among their kind.]]
414	* SweetTooth: They love sugary food, and eat it by the truck loads.
415	* UnexplainedRecovery: The Bug Queen was frozen and presumably taken into custody by the MIB at the end of "The Mine, Mine, Mine Syndrome." No explanation is provided for why she was active again in "The "J" is for James Syndrome."

417
418	[[folder:The Fmeks]]
419	!!The Fmeks
420	->'''Voiced By:''' Unknown
421
422	A race of aggressive yet diminutive aliens from the planet Fmoo, and sworn enemies of the Arquillians.
423	----
424	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: All of them are shown to be rather unpleasant.
425	* BewareTheSillyOnes: They may be tiny and rather [[LaughablyEvil humorous]], but they're still quite troublesome.
426	* ButtMonkey: They get abused quite a bit due to being so inconveniently tiny.
427	* DepravedDwarf: Just as small as the Arquillians, but way meaner.
428	* EvilCounterpartRace: To the Arquillians.
429	* EvilIsPetty: They tried to destroy the homeworld of the Arquillians (while making a bunch of them watch) simply because it was slightly bigger than the Fmeks' homeworld.
430	* FantasticRacism / PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Fmeks really hate the Arquillians.
431	* LaughablyEvil: One scene has them comically messing up a threatening warning to Earth.
432	* LilliputianWarriors: All of them are militaristic midgets trying to conquer or destroy other planets.
433	* TheNapoleon: They're a whole race of this. One of their schemes involved stealing a growth formula to become as tall (or taller) than humans.
434	* VerbalTic: In their final appearance and the video game ''Men in Black: The Series – Crashdown'', they had a habit of adding an "F" to the start of every word that started with an "M."
435	* ZergRush: Their favored tactic.
436	[[/folder]]
437
438	[[folder:Vangus]]
439	!!Vangus
440	->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/BillyWest
441
442	A leader of the Ixion race, who has been conspiring with Alpha for a planned invasion of Earth for the past 30 years.
443	----
444	* AlienInvasion: His space fleet attacks Earth to seize the planet's oil.
445	* BatOutOfHell: Vangus belongs to a bat-like race, with a demonic demeanor to match.
446	* BigBadDuumvirate: With Alpha at the end of Season 4.
447	* DumbMuscle: The Ixioms are noted to be fierce, but not particularly intelligent, and while Vangus repeatedly displayed cunning, he did largely come off as a brute, even getting one minor comedic moment in which he snorted, "Omelette! Eggs! Good one!" as if it was the funniest thing in the world after overhearing Alpha say, "One can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs."
448	* TheDogBitesBack: Alpha treated him with nothing but condescension and practically bullied him, but Vangus got the last laugh when he betrayed Alpha.
449	* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:Vangus attempts to annihilate all humanity out of what amounts to ''impatience'' in the end, rejecting Alpha's suggestion to extract a satisfying defeat for his enemies in prolonged conflict and instead opting to blow up all life on the surface all at once.]]
450	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Although the Ixion military is defeated by Earth, and Alpha gets killed by Kay and Jay, Vangus himself ends up escaping unharmed, his last whereabouts unknown.]]
451	* KnightOfCerebus: Much like Alpha, there is no humor around him, and the threat he poses is more serious than usual.
452	* OffOnATechnicality: He was arrested at the end of his first appearance, but released in his second due to allegations of PoliceBrutality being leveled against the MIB. It is later revealed that his release was orchestrated by Alpha.
453	* PlanetLooters: He wants to conquer Earth, just because it's rich in oil, which is a valuable resource in the wider universe.
454	* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When the tide of war is turned in Earth's favor, Vangus grows impatient and decides to ditch the idea of letting Alpha rule over the humans, as he prepares to launch a missile that would [[KillAllHumans destroy everyone on the planet]] while saving the oil for the Ixions.]]
455	* WingedHumanoid: He flies around with a pair of wings.
