Men in Black

Men in Black (MiB) and Women in Black (WiB) are physiopharmaceutically augmented agents of Majestic 12. They are much stronger that average soldiers and have access to advanced weaponry. Their appearance bases on common depiction of government agents supposedly silencing UFO witnesses.

Appearance
MiBs have strong albinic traits - unnaturally pale skin and red eyes. They're said to be caused by the augmentation process. Because of that (logic unknown) they wear black suits and sunglasses. 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 gas.

Augmentations
MiBs are physiopharmaceutically augmented what means, that they 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 detects his death and detonates explosives hid in the body. This eliminates any evidence of the agent and may as well damage his killer. MiBs are also expected to commit a 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
