Character Evolution
Bronze Age
Proty II became the pet of Chameleon Boy shortly after the death of Proty . Uncomfortable with this role, Proty II vigorously campaigned for membership in Legion of Super-Pets and became the team’s fifth member following the completion of the super tests from the super pets. Even this role seemed inappropriate to Proty II, and after several years, he left Chameleon Boy‘s protection and became the leader of a movement to have his people recognized as sentient beings by the United Planets. This movement has succeeded in recent years, and Proty II is now one of the political leaders of his people.
Major Story Arcs
In the Legion of Super-Heroes’ first battle with Computo, Proty II transformed into the “Weirdo Legionnaire” and temporarily confused and scared Computo. This distraction enabled Colossal Boy to free some captured Legionnaires and eventually lead to Computo’s defeat.
