Not to be confused with Edgar.

“You ever pulled the wings off a fly? You can't see a fly get even?!”

—Edgar to kay and Jay

Edgar the Bug (or just The Bug) is a Bug alien and the main antagonist of the first Men in Black film. His appearance is that of a giant cockroach though while on earth, he adopts the disguise of a human farmer. He hates it when any bug ( especially cockroaches) is killed. Edgar in human form and his animated series appearance are both portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio.

Powers and Abilities

Heightened Intellect - Edgar possessed a sharper and more advanced level of intelligence than his earth relatives.
Super Strength - Edgar was shown to possess limitless strength, but within his human suit, it seems somewhat inhibited it to an extent.
Super Flexibility - He was extremely flexible, being 11 feet tall he was able to awkwardly fit into the skin and clothing of a 6'3" male human.
Super Leaping - Edgar the Bug was agile and nimble, able to hop extremely high in the air.
Vocal Camouflage - Edgar is able to change the sound of his voice. Yet once inside the skin, it still sounds inhuman.

Appearance

Edgar skin — The Edgarbug when using Edgar's skin as a disguise.

Edgar's appearance is that of an 11ft tall insect, complete with two antenna hanging over his head, six limbs, and fearsome set of razor-sharp teeth. While he primarily resembles a cockroach, his features also mimic those found on several other insects native to planet Earth. His body frame and eyes are comparable to those of a Praying Mantis, his hind legs resemble those of a Grasshopper, and his Scorpion-like tail features a stinger similar to that of a Hornet.

When inhabiting the skin of Edgar, he looks remarkably like the farmer except for his ragged appearance, as his skin is noted to hang off his bones on several occasions. In addition, Edgar bug's left eye is slightly discoloured and pale in comparison with his right eye. Over time in the movie the skin of the dead man slowly flakes and decomposes becoming worse each time he's seen.

Story

Men in Black

In the beginning, the Bug crashes on Earth by flying saucer. He crashes on the truck of Edgar, a grumpy farmer, who is killed, and his skin is stolen. The Bug wears the skin while he searches for the Arquilian Galaxy. Throughout, he is chased by Kay and Jay of the MiB, who are always one step behind. Edgar finally gets the Galaxy, and attempts to leave a hidden ship. But, the ship is shot down by Jay and Kay.

After the ship crashes, Edgar emmerges and pulls his skin off, revealing his true self. He eats the agents' guns and Kay purposely gets eaten as well. Jay is able to distract the Bug by throwing things at him, jumping on him, and stepping on cockroaches, and Kay is able to get his gun and blows the Bug in half from the inside. They finally have the Galaxy, but half the Bug starts coming back behind them, when Laurel, a morgue worker who was kidnapped by the bug, shoots the bug with J's gun, finally killing him.

Men in Black: The Series

In Men in Black: The Series, a select few of Edgar's brothers appear, including Edwin the Bug. In "The Big Bad Bug Syndrome", they attempt to get revenge upon Elle for killing Edgar. Edgar is seen in a flashback, however he resembles his twin-brother, Edwin, which looks nothing like his film appearance.

Trivia

In the novelization of Men in Black by Steve Perry, the Bug's actual name is Kerb.
He is never given a name in the film, so he is referred to as "Edgar" after the man whose skin he wears.
According to Edwin the Bug, Edgar is the younger brother of the two(though all Bugs are siblings).
In Star Fox Adventures, the boss Galdon looks similar in appearance to Edgar. Also, Fox is eaten by Galdon in a similar manner to Kay (after eating an important item), and attacks him from the inside.

-*The Bug is foreshadowed as the main villain in the intro of the film which follows the flight of a [[Dragonfly]] that eventually gets smashed into a windshield of the truck full of illegal immigrants (including [[Mikey]] the Alien). Two more supporting facts is that the dragonfly and the Bug are both obviously insects, and in the intro while the dragonfly is flying around, it is accompanied by the song of the trademark [[M.I.B. Main Theme]], which sounds intimidating in its own.
