Biography
Timmy Tinkle was a humanoid robot created by criminal inventor Ivan Derook. He programmed Timmy to commit various robberies on his behalf. Through the course of events, Timmy sought employment at WHIZ Radio and was hired by Sterling Morris.

When Captain Marvel learned about the robberies that Timmy had been committing, he investigated the matter, and traced Timmy's remote control signal back to Derook's laboratory. Captain Marvel stopped Derook, and Timmy was reprogrammed with free will. No longer forced to commit crimes, he continued his employment and WHIZ Radio and became a friend of Captain Marvel's mortal alter ego, Billy Batson.
