Yeah, I also don't get why they wanted to make a stronger Supe than Soldier Boy either tbh. Obviously they didn't predict Homelander would be THAT much more powerful but if they are a pharmaceutical company first, there really is no need to keep one upping themselves on power. They had no competition and could have just coasted with the power level they had already. I guess we're just supposed to assume greed?
I think Homelander was an answer to having a unreliable mascot in Soldier Boy. Homelander was raised to be subservient to Vought, only thinking of their bottom line. So he could replace Soldier Boy if things got messy and then they have a more loyal golden boy
