James Darrell Edwards III

Write the text oBiography

edit] Men in Black
In the first film, his MIB career starts out when, as NYPD officer James Darrell Edwards III, he runs down a swift, wall-climbing alien on foot. When MIB Agent K notices his potential, he recruits him into the MIB. At first, James is suspicious, but he decides to join. He is registered as Agent J. J is not fond of K's diminutive references to him (son, sport, slick, kid, etc.), but gets used to it. In his various adventures, he encounters Frank, the dog; finds out that Jeebs, the pawn store owner is actually an alien, not just a buyer of stolen goods from chain snatchers like he originally thought when he was a detective; and delivers a baby Cthulhu. Their first official mission is to stop an alien bug from leaving Earth with a tiny galaxy before the galaxy's owners disintegrate the planet. During the final confrontation with the bug, K is swallowed by it in an attempt to get his gun back, leaving J to keep him on Earth. When he starts squishing cockroaches, the bug confronts him, but before it can attack him, K shoots it from the inside. When K requests to be neuralyzed (a memory-wiping procedure), J fulfills the request and his new partner is a former morgue worker, Dr. Laurel Weaver, who becomes known as Agent L.
