Biography
Boris was the name given to a member of the Boglodite race from the planet Boglodotia where he came to be a feared and dangerous assassin. The Boglodites were a rogue alien species who consumed all the worlds that were within their path. Boris was dispatched to Earth in an effort to find the Arcnet Shield on Earth and deactivate it so that his people could invade the planet. Whilst on Earth, he was responsible for a string of alien murders such as killing Roman the Fabulist on July 15, 1969 which attracted the attention of the Men in Black. oris killed Roman the Fabulist whilst searching for the Arc Net Shield at Coney Island, according to the MiB Archives, as part of a series of murders. The next was "The Factory," being Cindy, a survivor from Glamouria. The third was From , a parlaxian. Later, at Cape Canaveral where Agent K placed the Arc Net Shield on the Apollo 11 rocket, Boris attempted to stop K from doing so, only to have his arm blown off and sent to prison. K regretted not killing him for many years following the incident. The establishment of this shield around Earth prevented the Boglodites, parasites that strip a planet of its resources, from entering thereby leading to their extinction. This only fortified Boris' grudge against Agent K. However, his pet, the Weasel, somehow evaded capture and remained hidden for the next 40 years.
After his capture, he was sentenced to life imprisonment at the Lunar Max prison facility located on the Moon. Due to the Arc-Net shield over Earth, the Boglodite race starved to death and died of before they could replenish themselves at the next planet after Earth. This left Boris the last of his species due to his preservation in Lunar Max Prison, which was constructed in 1970 after several more Apollo missions, especially for him. After 43 years of imprisonment at the LunarMax Prison, Boris escapes from the facility with the aid of Lilly Poison, who has brought the Weasel over to free Boris. With the deed done, Boris resolves to kill K. After a close encounter with both K and J at the roof of a Chinese restaurant, Boris resolves to kill K instead by traveling back in time - time-jumping - to the year 1969 to stop K from forcing his race into extinction and destroying/shooting off his arm.
The elder Boris and the Weasel travelled back to this year with the aim of working together with their past selves to kill K and destroy the Arc Net to ensure their species' survival. The younger Boris manages to track down Griffin, the rightful possessor of the Arc Net Shield, but in a brief encounter with the young K and J, they manage to rescue Griffin and Boris escapes. However, both the young K and J need to install the Arc Net in the Apollo 11 at Cape Canaveral before it blasts off into space. The two Boris' meet, with the younger one being skeptical of his counterpart's capabilities since he got defeated. However, they reach common ground and they along with their Weasels, then follow the agents to Cape Canaveral, where the elder Boris fights J while the younger Boris tries to stop the younger K from installing the Arc Net into the rocket. Just as the elder Boris attempts to kill the young K, he is distracted by J, who is then pelted with spikes before pushing himself and the elder Boris off the launch tower. Eventually, J time-travels himself back to where he faces off the elder Boris, but only this time he dodges the spikes, much to the elder Boris' shock. This allows J to punch the elder Boris off the tower. Around the same time, the younger Boris faces off with Kay and grabs the device, declaring that he's better than his counterpart but Kay freezes his arm with liquid nitrogen from a fuel hose and shoots it off, something that Griffin told Jay would restore the timeline. Past Boris then falls from the launch tower.
Following the successful installment of the Arc Net Shield, the agents escape from the tower as Apollo 11 begins to lift off, and the elder Boris is incinerated by the engine exhaust from the Saturn 5 lift vehicle. As the younger K reunites with Colonel Edwards, the younger Boris arrives, having escaped the tower, and launches a spike on K, only for the Colonel to receive it himself, an act witnessed by a shocked J. Following the Colonel's death, the young K holds the younger Boris at gunpoint, as Boris, revealing his true form, attempts to goad K into arresting him. However, this time K chooses to kill Boris instead, altering the timeline. With Boris dead and the Arc Net Shield in place, the Boglodite invasion is prevented and they starve to death. In the restored future, K shows no knowledge of Boris beyond the battle at the Apollo 11 launch site, saying the Boglodites have been extinct for forty years and confirming Boris' plans were thwarted.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He tended to be referred to as Boris the Animal but hated that name. He either corrected them by telling him his name was 'just Boris' or it angered him to the point of attacking the person who called him that name.
Boris has an aggressive sense of humor when he had just arrived at Coney Island. He threatened to rip off a man's hand if he touched his bike. Boris can be highly arrogant at times and despises being called by his nickname, if someone would do so he would angrily correct them. While he is incredibly violent and heartless, he is quite intelligent and manipulative at times and has a total understanding of paradoxes. He realized that if he murdered K and prevented him from surrounding Earth with a protective force field, the Boglodite race would survive and destroy the planet. Boris is notoriously known for holding grudges and wanted revenge on K for removing his arm despite that it was 43 years ago.
When in a disagreement with another person, he commonly used the words "Lets agree to disagree".
As a Boglodite, he served as a scout who helped lower a planetary defensive capabilities to allow his people to invade. Through such means, his kind had consumed every world within their path.
In addition, he is also intelligent, as after his defeat at the hands of Agent K, he learns from his mistakes.
He was also failure-intolerant, as demonstrated when 1969 Boris angrily berates 2012 Boris for his failures after the latter explains to the former what will happen to him in the future.
Powers and abilities
A member of the Boglodite race, he was able to give himself a human disguise but was actually an alien with the abilities of his race.
His closest companion was Weasel that was a hand-sized multiple limbed creature who resided in his hand. The creature could operate independently from Boris or reside in his hand in a symbiotic relationship with him. It could fire three of its limbs as spikes with pinpoint accuracy in allowing it to send them as projectiles against targets. These could kill people or deal enough damage to solid objects to achieve Boris's goal. Weasel could either do this independently or from within Boris's hand thus making it his primary weapon in battle. Such was the accuracy of his shots that it was said to be impossible for anyone to dodge them. Weasel's legs were also sharp enough to help break through locks such as chains with ease.
