THE MEN IN BLACK. Since the first light of civilization, the sect of "The Men in Black" has destroyed all that is "different" and that could upset people's way of thinking: the proof of the existence of UFOs, the proof of the existence of a highly developed civilization previous to ours, the historic and scientific finds which do not fit with what is commonly accepted by the official culture. The Men in Black are infiltrated at top levels in political, industrial, cultural and religious organizations, and secretly shape the course of history.
They owe their nickname to the fact that, during their destructive missions, they wear black uniforms, ties and glasses.

SERGEJ ORLOFF, owner of the powerful "S.O. Communications" group, is considered by everyone a patron and benefactor; only Martin Mystére knows that behind his facade of respectability hides a mercyless murderer. Martin and Sergej have been friends for years and share the same interests and the same knowledge; but, for some unexplained reason, Orloff turned his intelligence to evil.
Disfigured in a fire, his face is covered by a mask; he has an artificial arm in which an ancient ray gun, similar to Martin's but capable of killing, is inserted. He is a contradictory, always "in progress" character.

MR JINX is a sort of "Technological devil" who grants - not by magic, but using modern computer science and an inborn entrepreneurial talent - the most secret and prohibited ambitions of man: eternal youth, the possibility of choosing and "piloting" one's dreams, the possibility of living happy moments again and again at one's will. As in traditional "covenants with the devil", his diabolical inventions inevitably turn against those who have been so imprudent as to try them.

THE INEFFABLE THREE. The man with the moustache is John Dee; he claims to descend from the John Dee who was an astronomer, a mathematician and a necromancer in the XVI century. The other gentleman's name is Edward Kelly (although Dee perfers to call him "Miserable worm"); he claims to be the descendant of the partner of fifteenth-century-Dee, a grave robber, a fraud and a necromacer named Edward Kelley.
They are both abysmally evil, but just as abysmally muddle-headed, so that their enterprises end up as enormous catastrophes.
The blonde is called Angie and is certainly not a villain; but not even "MartyDear" (as she calls the Detective of the Impossible) is able to dissuade her from the idea that Dee and Kelly are "such distinguished gentlemen" inneed of help.
To the readers' joy, her every action in their favour ends in a generous exhibition of flesh.
