When the Supe goes to visit the scientists and lab technicians, he kills one of the techies by putting him in a room that is designed to be an oven and makes the other technician mastur*buate in front of all the scientists and later cuts his pen*is off and then crushes his head, to put him out of his misery.

Why did Homelander go on a killing spree in The Boys?
Homelander was a supreme being so they could never control him. The Vought hired the best psychologist in the world to train Homelanders' psyche so that it makes him always want approval from parental figures. That is the only fabric of humanity left in him, which he wants to get rid of, as he believes it will help him.
Homelander has clouded judgment and lacks empathy because of his traumatic childhood experiences. He also believes that he is not a God as he sees himself aging. Homelander thinks that the lab ruined his life by torturing him from the very beginning. So to take out his anger on the place that made him the being he didn’t want to be, he took his revenge by killing the scientists, the technicians, and other innocents at the lab.
The concept of The Boys is ~ that superheroes in real life are flawed and feel actual human emotions. Homelander is the rendition of Superman but in the real world. He is one of the top heroes/villains because of the Kripke script and the raw nature of the character.
The Boys is now streaming on Prime Video.
