The Men in Black, a fictional organization from movies and comics, are known for their arsenal of high-tech gadgets. Here are some iconic gadgets used by the Men in Black.
1. Anti-Gravity Shoes – are gadgets used by the MiB and first seen in the preview of the second episode of Season 2. Like what the name says, these shoes allows the wearer to hover at any given height. If not in use, it reverts to its casual form as an ordinary black office leather shoes. Agent K first used it to save himself and Agent J from falling.
2. Communicaters – are items used by MiB agents to communicate with each other. This is one of the items seen much in the series and in the films. Its appearance has been changed over the course of the franchise and many variants has appeared. In the series, the communicaters looks more like a cellphone but has a folding mechanism and allows the agents to see each other via video call. In the episode "Dog Eat Dog Syndrome", Agent K gives Frank a miniature variant attached to Frank's collar which he used during the set-up. It later became a more practical earpiece-looking in the second film.
3. Gatbot - is a robot used by the MIB both for conventional usages and as a weapon. It is a small limbless robot with a smooth surface and has a similar appearance to that of R2-D2. It is first seen in the second film being reprogrammed by Serleena to defend her from the agent's counter-attack. It is covered in multiple arrays of guns with low caliber rounds that spins and releases waves of bullets in a symmetrical rotating firing position. It is destroyed by Agent K with a grenade.
4. Flush – is an escape route that Agent J and Agent K used to escape when MiB's Code 101 Lockdown breach protocol was initiated when Serleena took over MiB. Though not really a gadget, it is more of a comedy-made technology employed in the movie.
5. Neuralyzer – is a top secret device used by the MiB. It has the ability to wipe the mind of anybody who sees the flash. Once Neuralyzed, the "victim" will be given a new memory, to explain what they saw or what has happened. A De-Neuralyzer is a special device that reverses the effects of a Neuralyzer. Although a neuralyzer is operated by a small flash of light, a de-neuralyzer is much more complicated.
6. Quick Clone – is a type of MiB technology. As its name suggests, it is an auto-clone maker, but there is a catch. The catch is that the clone lasts short. When its time is up, it starts to babble, and then it melts to a pile of goo. They are used to form a distraction, extra hands, temporary field replacements, or a way to secretly escape. It is also shown items can be placed in Quick Clones, as Jay put a bomb in one to destroy Alpha. These clones has all the similar traits of the original, and their fighting skills too are the same, but clones tend to be more damage resistant in field missions and are more obedient that the originals.
7. Restrainer - an MIB standard issue long range trapping device launcher, takes the form of a handheld pistol with no barrel yet has a face sporting a five pronged ejection port that launches elastic expansion bola like green masses at the target either immobilizing them or binding them to an adjacent surface. These taffy like snares can seem to adjust their size in order to better catch their intended prey but most times come off as a facial binding device that stunts the enemies motions due to obscured vision.
8. Shrink Ray – is an MiB technology used in undercover purposes. First seen in Episode 1 of Season 2, it is a shrinking machine shrinks the volunteers to proportional size. It operates by placing the selected volunteer into a containment capsule-looking hatch, and by surrounding him with neon like rays and gas, it shinks him/her, but the clothes remains as it were. When shrunk, the only way to get bigger is using another ray that reverses the effect.
9. Spectral Trail Scanner – are devices used by the MiB to scan if any alien "trail" on the scene. It first appeared in the first movie where Agent K used it to discover that a monstrous bug has landed on Earth. It has the same size as a Neuralyzer but with a scoop and multiple lights and screens. Many scanners appeared in the series but differs from the Spectral Trail. Much of this scanner has an X-Ray ability and metal detector-like usage. Another variant of the scanner appeared in the video game MIB: Alien Crisis, used to scan people and distinguish a human from an alien via X-ray and heat signatures. It can also list down that organism's components, ailments, and species.
