Proty is the name of two fictional extraterrestrials in the DC Comics universe. The original Proty first appeared in ''Adventure Comics'' #308 (May 1963), while the second Proty debuted in ''Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen'' #72 (October 1963). ==Fictional character biography== The origin of the Proty's race is given in ''Adventure Comics'' #334. Many centuries earlier a race called the Llorn colonized a planet in the Antares system that was inhabited by race of peaceful creatures. The two races managed to live in harmony until a passing star upset the ecological balance of the planet. The Llorn were forced to evacuate the planet. Before leaving, they used their advanced technology to alter the planet's natives into protoplasmic blobs that could change their shape to suit the environment. Proty I is rescued from an alien menagerie by the Legion of Super-Heroes, and adopted as a pet by Chameleon Boy. The affectionate alien proves useful to the Legion, and becomes quite close to Saturn Girl, as her telepathic abilities allow her to read its thoughts. The Legion have finally found a way to revive their dead comrade Lightning Lad. The scientists on Mon-El's homeworld have developed a machine that uses lightning to transfer the life force from one person to another; unfortunately, the "donor" is killed in the process. When Proty reads Saturn Girl's mind and learns she is going to use a super-conducting rod to rig the device and sacrifice her life, Proty tricks her into following it into a cave, causing her to lose her way. Proty then disguises himself as Saturn Girl and sacrifices its life instead.〔''Adventure Comics'' #312 (September 1963)〕 Proty is replaced by Proty II, another member of their race.〔''Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen'' #72 (October 1963)〕 Proty II later becomes a member of the Legion of Super-Pets.〔''Adventure Comics'' #322 (July 1964)〕 After a misunderstanding between the two Legions led to the Super-Pets leaving the solar system, Proty II infiltrated the Legion disguised as Blockade Boy.〔''Adventure Comics'' #364 (January 1968)〕 The misunderstanding is soon cleared up, and Proty II returns to Earth. In the stories of the Adult Legion, Proty II has become a full member of the Legion, and is now Saturn Woman's pet, having had a falling out with Chameleon Man.〔 In a story published in the early 1980s, it was learned that Proty II had launched a career as a professional photographer, in which capacity the Legion hired him to do their official portrait. At this point, it seems as if he was no longer considered a pet, but rather an independent sentient being with all of the civil rights enjoyed by humans and various alien species on Earth. In a post-''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' retcon, it was revealed that the original Proty did not die saving Lightning Lad's life. In reality, Proty's life force was transferred into the body of Garth Ranzz, and Proty lived his life as Garth from that point forward. The true Garth was never revived.〔''Legion of Super-Heroes'' vol. 4, Annual #3 (1992)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Proty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
