MIB (Men In Black) - Ultra secret organization on the animated cartoon MEN IN BLACK: THE SERIES/WB/1997-2001. The MIB group was designed to monitor outer space aliens who either lived peacefully on Earth in an assortment of guises or those species who threatened to conquer the planet. MIB operatives (as their group's name implied) all wore black suits and dark-tinted sunglasses. An alphabetical coding system identified all agents. The focus of the series followed Agent J (voice of Keith Diamond), a cool, strong and heroic rookie and Agent K (voice of Ed Ross), the seasoned senior partner whose seen it all and more. Their arsenal of sophisticated weapons and gadgets included a silver metallic hand held tube device which selectively erased the memory of anyone looking into its flash. Supervised by MIB Head named Zed (voice of Charles Napier), J & K ran the gambit of aliens like Jeebs the pawnshop owner, Frank the Pug, the Worm Guys, the Twins and The Bugs (as seen in the movie version) as well as some new bad guys as the Buzzard, an alien bounty hunter; Alpha, the original head of MIB who went mad ("he twisted his mind on some bad cosmic machinery"); and Forbus, a psychotic alien cab driver. Some devoted UFO buffs lambasted the series for trivializing the potential threat posed by alleged real-life Men in Black who mysteriously appeared at scenes of actual UFO sightings. The animated MIB series was based on the theatrical film Men in Black (1996) starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.
