With the upcoming and HIGHLY anticipated release of Men in Black III, we wanted to take a look back at some of the different aliens Jay and Kay encountered in the first two films. Who is your favorite alien so far, and are there any aliens not on the list that you would have included? What are you hoping to see in MIB 3? Let us know in the comments below!
Main Antagonists[]
Edgar the Bug (MIB)[]
 Edgar's human form. |
Named after the human whose skin it used as a (rather sloppy) disguise, Edgar the Bug is the main antagonist of the first MIB film. In search of a powerful source of subatomic energy in the form of a tiny galaxy held by the Arquilians, his success would have meant the destruction of Earth. |
| Appeared in: Men in Black Species: Bug Traits: Self miniaturization Incredibly strong Status: Deceased (killed by Kay from the inside) |

Serleena (MIB II)[]
 Edgar's human form. |
The main antagonist of Men in Black II, Serleena is a shapeshifting Kylothian Queen, disguised as a female human lingerie model. She was summoned to Earth by Scrad after reports that the coveted Light of Zartha was still there despite her searching the rest of the galaxy for it. In her true form, Serleena resembles a plant-like hydra, and seems to be able to increase her size indefinitely. |
| Appeared in: Men in Black II Species: Kylothian Traits: Shapeshifting Incredibly strong Status: Deceased (killed by Jay and Kay using energy rifles) |

Boris (MIB III)[]
| Boris is the main villain of the upcoming Men in Black III. Very little is known about Boris, all that is known that he is an alien, he has a large black beard, and he has been described as a "biker from hell". For reasons currently unknown, Boris travels back to the 1960s to kill a young Kay, which would cause a chain reaction that would destroy the world. Jay must then also go back to the 60s to stop Boris from achieving this goal. |   Boris on his chopper |
Appeared in: Men in Black III Species: Unknown Traits: Unknown Status: Alive (for now....) |
Additional Aliens[]
Gentle Rosenburg[]
  Gentle's human shell. |
Gentle Rosenburg is an Arquilian living on Earth, and is a member of the Arquilian royal family. Like other Arquilians, he has a robotic human he lives in. He is the keeper of the Arquilian Galaxy, and owns a jewelery store. With his dying breath, he gives Jay a rather cryptic clue about how to save the Earth. |
| Appeared in: Men in Black Species: Arquilian Traits: Technologically advanced Lives in the head of a human robot shell Status: Deceased (killed by Edgar the Bug) |

Unnamed Cephalopoid[]
| While not alive for long after his initial appearance, Jay's successful pursuit of this unnamed alien catches the eye of Kay, which ultimately leads to Jay joining MIB. |   On the run from Jay |
Appeared in: Men in Black Species: Cephalopoid Traits: Legendary speed and agility Status: Deceased (suicide) |
Frank the Pug[]
| Merely an alien that Kay shakes down (literally) for info in the first movie, by MIB II he is working in the MIB mailroom and manages to get a shot at being Jay's partner. Jay dreads this notion, and rightly so as Frank turns out to be more of an annoying distraction than anything else. In the first film, Frank seems to have an ear to the ground with information contacts out in the streets, but in MIB II he seems to have lost this level of usefulness. |   Frank in disguise |
Appeared in: Men in Black, Men in Black II Species: Remoolian Traits: Annoying Status: Alive (presumably back to working in the mailroom) |
Worms[]
| The Worms are a mischievous bunch, who have a bit of a problem with stealing. Their loyalty is questionable, as they abandon Earth and MIB when the Arquilian attack seems imminent, but Jay trusts them enough to look after Laura while he and Kay are trying to deal with Serleena. |   A group of worms on a coffee break |
Appeared in: Men in Black, Men in Black II Species: Worm Traits: Mischievous Status: Alive |
Jack Jeebs[]
| Jeebs is an alien living on earth in the disguise of a pawn shop owner who deals in stolen objects, both alien and human. Jeebs has always been a shady character but has proved useful more than once for agents Kay and Jay, actually helping to restore Kay's memory in MIB II. Aside from the usual wares of a shady pawn shop owner, Jeebs has a cache of highly illegal alien technology and guns available to the right customer for the right price. |   Jeebs with a freshly regenerated head |
Appeared in: Men in Black, Men in Black II Species: Unknown Traits: Regenerative healing ability Status: Alive |
Mikey[]
| Mikey is an alien of an unknown species, who is supposed to be in jail. He is an alien on the run, who attempts to disguise himself as a Mexican immigrant. It is Agent D's botched attempt to neutralize Mikey that leads to his retirement from field work, and to Kay's search for a new partner/replacement. (which would end up being Jay) |   Mikey getting ready to make a break for it |
Appeared in: Men in Black Species: Unknown Traits: 360 degree vision Status: Deceased (shot by Kay after Agent D failed to do so) |
Squid (baby)[]
| A Squid is MIB codename for a species of tentacle bearing squid-like alien. The only Squid that is seen is a small newborn, as its parents are in their human disguises. While Jay attempts to help the mother give birth, Kay learns from the father that they were scared enough to risk spaceflight with a newborn, which helps him piece together the full gravity of the situation. |   A super cute newborn squid-alien |
Appeared in: Men in Black Species: "Squid" Traits: Super cute at birth (which is quite a violent process) Status: Alive (presumably) |
Scrad/Charlie[]
| Scrad is an alien of an unknown species who helped Serleena during her search for the Light of Zartha. Scrad has another head coming out of his back (Charlie), thought to be a second symbiotic alien. Scrad is basically a moron, with Charlie being even less intelligent. Serleena worked with Scrad/Charlie during the infiltration of the Men in Black Headquarters. |   Scrad (Tweedle Dum) and Charlie (Tweedle Dumber |
Appeared in: Men in Black II Species: Unknown/Unknown Traits: Nothing useful Status: Alive (presumably) |
Jeff[]
  Jeff's flower disguise |
Jeff is a giant worm-like alien disguised as a small flower. Jay fights Jeff in Men in Black II, and ends up tricking Serleena into being eaten by the massive worm. This leads to Jay and Kay thinking they are in the clear, until Jeff appears at the end of the film exploding as Serleena bursts through in her true form. |
| Appeared in: Men in Black II Species: Unknown Traits: Massive strength due to size Status: Deceased (exploded from within by Serleena) |
