Vought has a history of playing into racist stereotypes in the narrative, so they probably overlooked more powerful/capable candidates in whatever experiments they were doing once they got this guy.

Sure, that’s possible, but there’s no evidence in the show that they did that.

This feels like a thermian argument. In-universe explanations don’t justify racism on the part of the author. Plus, this is The Boys we’re talking about… Kripke had Hughie raped last season because he thought it was funny. Don’t give them any credit

  Also I should check more what was in the comics vs the show.
