―Vogelbaum to Homelander[src]

Jonah Vogelbaum is 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, a subject can become violent, aggressive, and downright hateful. Despite these realizations, it's 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, 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. Saying "(the baby) Lived all of 10 seconds. Drowned in its mother's blood." Vogelbaum then proceeded to express his regret towards being responsible for making 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 was confronting Billy Butcher, it was revealed that after Homelander got Stillwell's side of the story that he went back to Vogelbaum and pressed (and paralyzed) him for information.
