I don't think anyone's attempted this one yet, so here's The Umbrella Academy...DC style! The caveat here is that, while the DC folks obviously weren't raised together, they'll all be of the age where they could've been. Here we go:
The Monocle/Sir Reginald Hargreeves - Martian Manhunter (alien being living as a human in full view of the world. Would go with RJ Brande but don't think Durlans are that long lived). The twist is that he's living as Niles Caulder.
Spaceboy/Number One - Cyborg (leader-type physically altered into more inhuman appearance)
The Kraken/Number Two - Koryak (water based character with a chip on his shoulder)
The Rumor/Number Three - Omen (well-adjusted (for this group) type with the ability to manipulate others)
The Seance/Number Four - Sebastian Faust (magic-user with self-destructive tendencies)
Number Five - Karate Kid (time-displaced hero with amazing fighting skills)
The Horror/Number Six - Raven (connected to otherworldly beings that often result in terrifying physical manifestations)
The White Violin/Number Seven - Tefe Holland (gentle soul with vastly destructive powers beneath the surface)
Pogo - Mr. Tawky Tawny (animal-based assistant/support type with kinship to younger team members)

Going to do a twofer today: two of my favorite Marvel team line-ups, folks who rarely get any love (or who've since disbanded and therefor aren't around to receive the love), are the Texas-based team The Rangers and the covert ops Shadow Initiative team from the post-Civil War Marvel Universe. Since both have limited line-ups, figured I'd group them together.
First, The Rangers...DC Style!
Texas Twister - Turbine
Shooting Star - Vigilante (Patricia Trayce)
Firebird - Fire
Red Wolf - Black Condor (John Trujillo)
Phantom Rider - J.E.B. Stuart & the Haunted Tank
Living Lightning - Fireworks
51 - G'Nort
Armadillo - Bork
And then, the Shadow Initiative - DC Style!
Constrictor - Whip (Shelley Gaynor)
Bengal - Catman
Typhoid Mary - Rose/Thorn
The Iron Spiders - Multiplex
Trauma - Phobia
The Defenders
Doctor Strange - Dr. Fate
Hulk - Swamp Thing
Namor - Aquaman
Silver Surfer - Mister Miracle
Valkyrie - Wonder Woman
Hellcat - Pantha
Hellstorm - Faust
Gargoyle - Etrigan
Beast - Tasmanian Devil
Nighthawk - Golden Eagle
Clea - Silver Sorceress
Devil Slayer - Bloodwynd
Moondragon - Maxima
Iceman - Kole
Angel - Azrael (the one from Titans)
