Vogelbaum continued working for Vought until Mallory organized his kidnapping. While Mallory was originally just going to kill Vogelbaum, he changed his mind and made him work for the C.I.A. instead. Under Mallory's instructions, Vogelbaum created the Compound V shots that all members of the Boys are injected with, while deliberately making it so expensive the C.I.A. couldn't start a super-soldier program of its own. Mallory eventually tasked [[Billy Butcher|Butcher]] with assassinating the scientist. Unbeknownst to Mallory, Butcher actually spared Vogelbaum and made him work on a way to exterminate everyone that was ever exposed to Compound V. When Vogelbaum finally succeeded in creating a Compound V strain capable of this, Butcher murdered him so he wouldn't be able to undo his work. |

Jonah Vogelbaum was a retired Vought scientist. During his time at Vought, he oversaw the creation of Homelander, as well as being one of the scientists involved in Becca Butcher's pregnancy with Homelander's child.
After he retired from Vought, Vogelbaum began to question his methods that resulted in the behavior of his creations, especially his involvement in creating Homelander. Realizing that despite how perfect a creation can be, it isn't enough. That without a mother and a family, a subject can become violent, aggressive, and downright hateful. He came to realize that, in Homelander, he had created a sociopath with the powers of a god: able to do anything, and heedless to the harm he might cause. Despite these realizations, he knew it was too little, too late to fix any of it. At the end of his life, he was just an old man thinking about his mistakes.
The Boys Series
Testing phase
Vogelbaum first appears in a flashback Homelander has when staring at his old childhood blanket. Vogelbaum is seen looking through a window into a testing lab room. He proceeds to make faces at a young Homelander, cheering him up. Despite the simple positive gesture and kindness, the scene reveals how isolated Homelander was in his early life, and what laid the foundation for the person he is today.
The Visit
When Homelander pays him a visit to uncover the truth about what Vought has kept hidden from him, Vogelbaum reveals that Becca Butcher was pregnant with Homelander's child. Vogelbaum says "(the baby) Lived all of 10 seconds. Drowned in its mother's blood." He then proceeds to express his regret about being responsible for turning John into Homelander. Despite Vogelbaum's attempt to apologize, Homelander thinks otherwise, believing himself to be the world's greatest superhero.
Later on, in You Found Me, when Homelander is confronting Billy Butcher, it is revealed that after Homelander got Stillwell's side of the story he went back to Vogelbaum and pressed (and paralyzed) him for information.

It was confirmed in a news article that Vogelbaum was paralyzed by an accident and retired from CSO of Vought as a result. However the article is another lie about Homelander "squeezing the truth" from him.
Vogelbaum reappears in Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker when Grace Mallory approaches Vogelbaum at his home and asks for his assistance to testify for them against Vought. However Vogelbaum refuses, believing it will only endanger the lives of his daughter and family.

That is, until Vogelbaum started experimenting on Homelander and being harsh with him in order to turn him into the strongest man alive. Butcher uses that to confront Vogelbaum for helping Vought keep Rebecca and her son a secret from him. Vogelbaum attempts to express his regrets, but Butcher gives him no sympathy. Vogelbaum tries to convince Butcher to let him go, so as not to endanger his family, however Butcher states that his family is in danger either way.
