While already being based on a Marvel character, director Kasra Farahani reveals the real-life inspiration he and Jonathan Majors looked for in creating Loki season 2's Victor Timely. The Kang the Conqueror variant is introduced in episode 3, entitled "1893", as a brilliant inventor in the 19th century who uses conman technique to fund many of his experiments. Unlike He Who Remains, Loki and Mobius seek out Timely in the hopes of bringing him back to the TVA to repair the Temporal Loom before the multiverse collapses.
While speaking exclusively with Screen Rant for the episode's release, Farahani opened up about the creation of Timely for Loki season 2. The director revealed that he and Majors looked towards the real-life inventor Granville Woods for inspiration in portraying the Kang variant, drawing a number of parallels to the fellow 19th century figure and wanting to shine a light on the social challenges the two would face during the time period.
