Men In Black

Agent J

Agent J is a high-ranking agent for the Men in Black, an organization dedicated to monitoring and policing Earth from extraterrestrial interaction. He joined the MiB after witnessing a non-human suspect, subsequently had his identity erased, and became a faceless agent. He has saved the world from alien destruction on at least three occasions, always injecting his personal style into his interactions.
