    The only way Stan could have ripped off the DP is if he had Drake's office and phone line bugged, and I don't think that happened. Its a coincidence and Drake was just a cranky old man by the time he did interviews on the subject.

          The Shi'ar Imperial Guard are a intentional rip off of the Legion of Superheroes.

            Remember the Crusaders (Americommando & Rusty, Barracuda, Fireball & Sparky) that fought the Freedom Fighters- The Invaders clones.

            The Squadron Supreme/Sinister was mentioned, probably one of the most outright copies, ditto the Imperial Guard/LSH.

            The Phantom Stranger borrows from the Mysterious Traveler.

            Masked Raider, Nighthawk, Two-Gun Kid= Lone Ranger.

            Green Arrow & Speedy copied pretty much everything from Batman & Robin, albeit substituting arrows for bats (and leading to some neat humor on the B&B cartoon).

            Tarzan was ripped-off by K'aanga, Ka-Zar, and countless others.

              Howabout Daredevil and Dare-Devil? Both handicapped acrobatic superheroes.
