Mayor Victor Timely is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a divergent version of the time traveller Nathaniel Richards, a descendant of the scientist of the same name, whose alternate selves include Pharaoh Rama-Tut, Scarlet Centurion, Kang the Conqueror, Iron Lad / Kid Immortus, Doctor Doom, Mister Gryphon and Victorex Prime. Establishing a small, quiet town called Timely, Wisconsin in 1901 to serve as a 20th-century base for his future self, becoming an industrial opponent of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, Timely fakes his death and poses as his own son Victor Timely Jr. (and later his grandson Victor Timely III), educating Phineas Horton to eventually create the original Human Torch, eventually becoming the new Kang Prime by the time of Kang Dynasty.
The character made his feature film debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023), portrayed by Jonathan Majors, and subsequently returned in the 2023 second season of the MCU television series Loki, portrayed by Nasri Thompson as a child.
