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.

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.Comment
