The Boys offers a fantastic spin on superheroes in everyday life, and how stuff like money and fame can corrupt even the supernatural. We see first-hand how disastorous it would be go introduce superpowers into a corrupt enviroment under the supervision of an entitled government.

For example, take homelander. He has identical powers to DC's superman except in this world, he is the strongest being to ever live. We're so used to superman being weak compared to other heroes or villians that we forget how truly powerful and dangerous people like Homelander can really be.
