[DC/The Boys] What if Homelander was raised by the Kents?

Would he have ended up like Superman, a beacon of hope and inspiration? What if he had Superman as an older brother (or better yet, younger brother)? Or if he had been rescued at a young age?

Homelander would have turned out a decent human being if he was raised by a good family like the Kents. 

But he would not have been Superman. One of the main points of the show/comics is the Herculean force of will it would take to maintain the moral purity of Superman, if a person actually had all of Superman's power. Not only would it be difficult to remain ethical when you can do so many unethical things without getting caught, it would also be incredibly hard to raise a child to be a moral paragon when they can do the things Homelander can. 

How would the Kents punish a hormonal teenage Homelander for peeping, when they would have no real way of telling when he was peeping at all? How would they discipline a toddler or kindergartner with the power to kill them with a single a blow? How would they defuse temper tantrums when getting split in half by an involuntary laser beam is a valid concern?

Homelander would still end up slightly messed up, just by the virtue of having his powers. That's one of the core ideas of The Boys. But he would still be a much better person than he is in the main canon universe if he was raised by good, moral parents who actually loved him.
