She is the former boss of OMAC until he turn against her for the bomb strike upon his mother as well she lied to Ignacio, after his defeat by Jaime Reyes.

==Personality==
Victoria is a corrupted, power hungry and greedy official. She intend to use the "Scarab" (aka Khaji-Da) to create weapons of mass destruction. She has no qualms of kill anyone who stand in her way in her desires of terrorism. She also lacked remorse for her actions.
She never cared about her family. She demonstrates this sentiment as she hates her father for passing his company on to her reckless brother instead of her. This made Victoria feel "overlooked" thereby developing a severe Inferiority Complex. Thus, Victoria held a grudge on her brother, Ted, and called him pathetic. She also has no love for her niece, Jenny and warned her to stay out of her way. She also intend to kill Jenny without a qualm or a shed of care/remorse.
Victoria was a very racist, seeing people of ethnic minorities (despite having one for a niece) as nothing but cheap labor and less than her when she calls Jaime "Edge Keys Trash". Her racism was so strong to the point that she doesn't care for their lives such as endangering the Reyes family in her raid for the Scarab or even bother to remember the names of her employees, often calling them with stereotypes like "Sanchez".
She is also a manipulative liar when she killed OMAC's mother in coldblooded and taken him as her henchman as well lying to him in order to cover up her crimes towards him. She viewed him as her pawn in her goals. After Ignacio's defeat by Jaime Reyes, Victoria tries to order Ignacio to kill Jaime and Jenny, but he refused as he realized the truth that Victoria killed OMAC's mother by ordering the bomb strike, causing Ignacio to turn against Victoria for lying to him.
In the end, Victoria is nothing more than a despicable coward when she begs OMAC to not kill her when her pawn finally found out the truth of his beloved mother's death as well Victoria was using him to do her dirty works by lying to him all these years, but her begging fell deaf ears as OMAC committed suicide to kill Victoria and avenge his mother.

==Trivia==
*Unlike most villains of the DC Extended Universe, Victoria Kord is an original character from the DCEU. However, she made her debut in the Blue Beetle graphic novel Graduation Day, as the old sister of Ted Kord and CEO of Kord Industries, seven months before the film released.
*Sharon Stone was a contender for the role of Victoria Kord and was in talks about taking it around late March 2022, but Susan Sarandon ultimately won the part.
*For the first time in her career, Susan Sarandon had to speak Spanish in some scenes, leading the filmmakers to provide subtitles for audience members who don't know Spanish.
*Sarandon thinks that Kord represents "imperialism through democracy", adding that she just wants to prove herself as her father gave Kord Industries to her brother despite how much she worked for him, leading her brother to ruin the business and disappear, forcing her to take the reins of Kord Industries to help the company survive.
*Susan Sarandon also portrayed the evil Queen Narissa in the 2007 Disney film Enchanted and provided the voice of Coco LaBouche from Rugrats In Paris: The Movie.
