The Godolkin University
In the series spin-off Gen V, you get to know the Godolkin University. There, aspiring supes learn all about their powers, but also about marketing, acting, and other stuff that brings in money for the company Vought. The founder of this university is Thomas Godolkin, who actually aimed to weed out weak supes to allow only the strongest to survive.
In the comics, there is neither the university nor Thomas Godolkin. However, there is John Godolkin, who is known as the head of the G-Men, a parody of the X-Men. In truth, there is a cult behind this, which kidnaps children and which is dealt with quite early on in the comics by the Boys and Vought.
The Amazon series expands the world of The Boys with the university and shows further structures of Vought, which as a company wants to have more and more supes for the future to maintain its power and ultimately its money. The spin-off used this idea to tell a coming-of-age story instead of just creating a shocking moment.
