DC didn't homage Marvel characters so much as it turned existing characters into homages.
Black Adam has been remade into DC's Sub-Mariner. Solomon Grundy is now DC's Hulk (even becoming intelligent about the same time the Hulk did). The Giffen OMAC remake also was a Hulk type. Of course, if we go back far enough, Batman's foe Blockbuster was a straight Hulk homage. I seem to recall another Batman villain intended by former SPIDER-MAN writer Gerry Conway to be a bad version of Spider-Man--Black Spider. Conway's Steel even became "Commander Steel" (and a relative became "Citizen Steel"), sounding more like Captain America than originally intended. Some recent attempts to jazz up Hawkman seemed to try to "Wolverine-ize" him. And then there are "THE TERRIFICS," a very obvious foursome (consisting of Mr. Terrific, Plastic Man, Metamorpho, and Phantom Girl) brought together to resemble the Fantastic Four--when Marvel had retired them.
