I've been thinking about the DC characters that have either ben forgotten or are just no longer part of the continuity. And walking home from the subway, I thought about them as a DC version of the Exiles.
Who I would have:
Firebrand Danette Reilly Cyclone Maxine Hunkle Northwing Starman Will Payton Red Tornado The clunky silent one from Primal Force Joker from Earth-3
-------------------- Five billion years from now the Sun will go nova and obliterate the Earth. Don't sweat the small stuff!

Just for the fun of it, attempting to recreate the Marvel Exiles with DC characters who fill similar roles or fit thematically;
Someone from the Charlton group - perhaps Plastic Man, taking Morph's role
Someone from Quality comics - Firebrand (Danette) would be a good choice, and take on Sunfire's role (technically, she's a post-Quality replacement, but good enough)
Someone who is a villain in the mainstream universe, which is a perfect fit for someone from Earth 3. A heroic Earth 3 version of Amazo would be a perfect match for Mimic.
Nocturne is another world descendent of two heroes who would probably never hook up in the mainline continuity. A child of Zatanna and the Blue Devil could be an interesting riff on that.
Blink represents a character from the mainline continuity that died long before she really made a splash, in that continuity. An alternate world version of Kole or Gypsy might fit here.
Thunderbird also represents a version of a hero who died early and someone like Steel, Amazing Man or Aqualad/Tempest could fit here.
