Close. There's two parts to the answer, one part of which has to do with why they were kept alive/moved from More Fun to Adventure, and the other part has to do with other Golden Age characters.

They all survived the great super-hero implosion of the 1950's.

The answer that I'm looking for only indirectly relates to their surviving the Golden Age.

It's primarily about their creation.

All had their origins revised in the 50s?

Not what I'm thinking of (and, to my knowledge, only Aquaman's origin was revised).

Were they all created to be knockoff of other characters? Aquaman = Sub-Mariner, Johnny Quick = Flash? (not sure about GA)

I'll give that to you, cmk.

They were all created by Mort Weisinger and their design was influenced by pre-existing characters.

Aquaman = Timely's Sub-Mariner.
Johnny Quick = All-American's Flash.
Green Arrow = Fawcett's Golden Arrow.

EDE - GA had a revamped origin, too. the island exile wasn't the original origin.

Really? I had no idea. But, then again, my GA knowledge is pretty sparse, and based primarily on the Showcase. Next you'll be telling me that whole society of archers from around the world isn't a core part of the GA mythos, either!

Hint: they all took on a certain heroic identity.

That's correct, Quis. In an early issue of What If...? it has the Patriot and the Spirit of '76, two minor old Marvel heroes, taking on the identity of Captain America after he went missing in 1945, and Super-Patriot did so more recently, and is now known as USAgent.
