Odin-There's not really one, I would place Odin somewhere between Highfather and Takion
Silver Surfer- Hal is the closest one, but Surfer would take the majority, on the other hand, Ion or Parallax would definitely take the majority over Surfer
Thanos-Darkseid is in the same ballpark, but both of there power levels fluctuate depending on the writer, so it's hard to accurately determine who's more powerful overall.
Insane Genis Vell-I think Parallax would be the closest thing to a counterpart.
Sentry-Duh. Supes
Sersi-I don't really think there's a counterpart for her
Galactus-I don't really think there's a counterpart for him either
Warlock-The problem with Warlock, is that he's a powerful character, with an ULTRA powerful weapon. So I don't think there's a good match for him, because he's got a one hit kill attack.
Quasar- Gl Kyle(no Ion powers)
Wolverine- He doesn't really have a counter part either, because he's basically a mid level, who's power set let's him hang with high level heroes(for a while at least), but he still has problems with some street level guys.
Sounds pretty accurate, save Thor and Parallax. I don't know who would be a DC counter part to Thor. He is often portrayed as a top-tier brick, but he has shown damn near as many powers as a Lantern, or a Herald. He has WAY too much versatility to be compared to Shazam or Wonder Woman.
Besides that? Yeah...
Odin - Highfather.
Surfer - somewhere between taking a majority over hal, and having a majority taken from him by Ion/Parallax.
Thanos - Darkseid.
Genis - Parallax seems on the same level as far as the story/personality, but definitely not power. As others mentioned, Parallax was a multiversal threat, while Genis only unmade/remade universes. :-/. As was mentioned, a full potential Captain Atom seems right around here.
Sentry - Superman, without as many out-the-ass powers, but with his 'photokinesis'
Sersi - Maxima.
Galactus - Imperiex, though, isn't Imperiex portrayed as MUCH less of a Jobber than Galactus? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else...
Warlock - Mordru? Perhaps Mordru's magic seems much more plot-devicey than Warlock, though.
Quasar - a top Green Lantern (Hal, Kyle, etc.)
Wolverine - Hmmm? Besides the Spectre? I can't really think of anyone who's powers are martial arts and healing. Plenty of DC characters have EITHER, but no one who has BOTH comes to mind.
Maybe Azrael - he has the skill, claws, and an enhanced physiology...
And, as mentioned, I can't think of anyone for Thor.
