The Modifyers

About

"The Modifyers" is an American animated short created by Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor. It was initially a pilot pitched to television giant Nickelodeon, however, it was rejected by the publisher, despite its positive reviews from critics and audiences, but was because it had a female protagonist and Nickelodeon didn’t want any more female protagonists since none of their programs that featured them became huge hits compared to shows that had male protagonists, despite the fact that they greenlit The Mighty B!, which had a female protagonist. It features Agent Xero and her sidekick Mole attempting to thwart the efforts of Baron Vain and his legion of henchmen, such as Rat. It has since gained cult status.

Plot

The Modifyers is set in an alternate British 60s-style world. The scene opens as Rat, one of Baron Vain’s henchmen, is attempting to steal the All Seeing Eye from the Museum of Really Odd Stuff. After succeeding, but setting off the alarms in the process, Rat escapes to the sewers, only to be confronted by Lacey Shadows, another one of Baron Vain’s henchmen. After a brief altercation, Lacey gets away with the All Seeing Eye and escapes to her airship in a rocket pod. However, Rat uses a grappling hook to stow away on the bottom of the pod.

After entering a pattern into a line of panels on the floor which activates the lights, Lacey Shadows is revealed to be Agent Xero, a superheroine who uses her powers to foil Baron Vain's plans, and Mole, her sidekick. After they speak with Katz through a communicator in Xero's ring, Mole is ready to return the All Seeing Eye. However, Agent Xero insists that they ask it a question. Due to this insistence and a series of mishaps, Rat is able to get away with the Eye and heads off to Baron Vain's lair.

Agent Xero and Mole pursue Rat, but he manages to get away from them. When he gets to Baron Vain's lair, he accidentally interrupts Baron Vain's playing of his organ, which he does not tolerate and plans to feed Rat to a monster. Meanwhile, Agent Xero and Mole infiltrate Baron Vain's lair as Lacey Shadows, just as Rat is about to show Baron Vain the All Seeing Eye. They manage to get it back, and have Rat end up showing Baron Vain the similarly shaped rock that Xero switched it with. They leave the lair with Rat at Baron Vain's mercy and assume their normal identities to leave with the All Seeing Eye for home. Mole takes it with him, while Xero tries once more to convince him to allow them to ask it a question. Meanwhile, Baron Vain watches with pleasure as Rat is about to be eaten by the monster, when they hear a strange noise. Rat then notices that it is coming from the communicator in Xero's ring, which she had unknowingly left behind.

Adult parody (The Modifuckrs)

Some time after The Modifyers got cancelled, a popular porn artist going by the name ZONE-sama made an adult parody based on the short called The Modifuckrs, where Agent Xero/Lacey Shadows has the same design but with breasts, hips and realistic-looking legs visible. It was released on February 2013.

The animation starts with Rat taking with a bound and gagged Lacey Shadows to Baron Vain's lair, where he could be seen with a creepy-looking face until he takes up Lacey up in the air and rapes her via tentacles, which later shapes into a giant penis and takes shoves it up her anus.

Lacey later enjoys it, and cuts to a groovy sex scene where Lacey and Baron enhance in many different sexual acts and positions (much like the Kamasutra) with the song London Pop Show by Laurent Lombard.

Right after the scene is finished, Lacey Shadows turns into her normal Agent Xero persona again, and Baron Vain questioning what this is. Xero, seen nervously smiling, kicks Baron in the crotch and runs away.

At the end, Agent Xero (with no panties visible) can be seen seductively looking at Mole and puts her buttocks on his erect penis.

The porn parody became extremely popular and was marked "Best of 2013" on Zone's Newgrounds account. Nowadays, if you watch the pilot, there are often people joking in the comments that "they only came here because of the porn parody" and something else like that.

Reception

The Modifyers gained positive reviews, with a rating on 8.2/10 on IMDb (Internet Movie Database) by critics and audiences.
