Him being so warped is because he was raised as a science experiment. Thats why hes so different from the others, who are mostly just sociopathic degenerates because they are rich, famous, vastly more powerful than human beings and highly shielded from any consequences of their actions. He would probably end up just as screwed up because of how he was raised if done the same way in the MCU. A good way of porting him over IMO, would be a cold war attempt at remaking Captain America to fight Russia but got scrapped following the Soviet Collapse of 1991. Lost the purpose of being a weapon and with it the weapons contract deal of Vought with the US Military following the military cut and draw down of the 90s, was instead repurposed by the company who created him as a street crime fighter/PR guy/Tourist Attraction/Celebrity and sold by contract to say, LA or New York for protection. Maybe gets rolled into the Avengers initiative without the others knowing his dark secrets and how hes been used as a weapon to silence potential whistleblowers on the government, or hell a hydra agent. The parallels between him and Captain America would certainly be entertaining to see. Maybe have them be buddies with Homelander doing his, "no, you are the real hero cap. You are veteran who signed up to fight for his country no matter how many times he got turned away." Good ideas abound there.
