Biography[]
Kord was known to claim that the real estate industry was one of the last sectors of the American economy that had yet to be transformed by data and technology. In his conversations with buyers, sellers, developers and agents of the real estate industry, Kord claimed that they felt they were getting the short end of the stick. A position that Kord took to mean was a good sign that the real estate market was truly inefficient.
Reportedly inspired by Lex Luthor's example of coming to the aid of Metropolis' businesses, Kord decided to expand his business following the Kryptonian invasion of Earth by establishing a branch of Kord Industries in Metropolis in 2013 during the rebuilding of the city following General Dru-Zod's defeat.[1]
At some point, Thomas Kord passed away. While his daughter Victoria Kord believed that Kord Industries would fall under her leadership, it was instead given to Kord's other child Ted.[2]
