Proty is the name of two characters appearing in media published by DC Comics, primarily in association with the Legion of Super-Heroes. The original Proty first appears in Adventure Comics #308 (May 1963), where Chameleon Boy adopts him as a pet.
After Proty sacrifices himself to resurrect Lightning Lad, an identically-named Protean, dubbed "Proty II", is introduced as his successor. Following the reboot of the Legion's continuity in the 1994 event Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!, Proty has rarely been seen or referenced. The 1998 event DC One Million introduces Proty One Million, an 853rd-century member of the Justice Legion of Super-Zoomorphs inspired by Proty.
