Men in Black



Men in Black (MiB) and Women in Black (WiB) are physiopharmaceutical-augmented agents of Majestic 12 posing as Government agents early on in the game. They are much stronger than average enemies and have access to advanced weaponry. The WiB show up later through the game.

Appearance
MiBs have unnaturally pale skin and red eyes. They're said to be caused by the physiopharmaceutical-augmentation process. Because of this they wear sunglasses and dark clothing to mask the albino appearance. Their voice sounds robotic. Some theorize that it's because of an integrated rebreather in their bronchus, but even if it exists, it gives them no resistance to poison and gas unlike the IET. MiB's have the symbol of the Illuminati (image of an eye) tattooed to the back of their necks.

Physiopharmaceutical-augmentations
MiBs have improved capabilities thanks to drugs with addition of physical and psychological conditioning. Their strength and endurance are greatly improved (Arthur Donovan, the lead scientist behind the project, predicts that they would be 78% more effective than unaugmented operatives).

An important feature is a self-termination mechanism wired into the carrier's autonomous nervous system. The device detonates explosives hidden in their body in the event that the agent is terminated (if knocked unconscious, the agent won't detonate and you'll be able to loot the body). This eliminates any evidence of the agent and may as well damage his killer. MiBs are also expected to commit suicide in case of being unable to complete their mission objectives.

Notable MiBs
MiBs and WiBs are often appointed commanders of MJ12 installations and strike teams. Most notable of them include:


 * Agent Mari Hela
 * Agent P. Sherman
 * Agent Karyo
 * Adept 34501
