Black Bolt vs Aquaman Decent Powerset, not all powerful. Regal Stature. Knows loss.
Spiderman vs Beastboy as the guy always trying to fit in.
Adam Warlock ... Orion (very powerful loner type)
Ghostrider ... Etrigan
Extremis Ironman ... Henry Irons Steel with Aegis Armor, Blue beetle, maybe Booster Gold? Mr. Terrific?
Dr.Strange ... Dr. Fate?

I think what the writer means is, are there equivalent counterparts.
Like Supermans in marvel is Sentry or Thor.
Batman's could be Captain America
At least, I THINK thats what he means. Something akin to, these are the best in their respective categories. Or sometihng like that

ION draws directly from the Starheart and the OA Central Battery... I doubt Surfer's in his league. In the newest issue they alluded to him being even more powerful than before, saying Kyle's more powerful than even he could ever dream of.

His "upgrade" seems more of a mental thing...meaning, he won't be such a pansy when he fights.
Only time will tell though.

Ghost Rider, IronMan, Spiderman and Cable would totally flounder in DC.
Totally.
DC seems to either have it be streets or ubergods...At least in the mainstream where these guys would be.
The guys i named above are solidly midtier and thus, as DC seems to only go to the extreme in either category, their Midtier is sorely lacking.
Marvel excells at the middle ground, while DC has Superman and WW in the top tier,well Superman at least and Batman in the street.
Not many notables in the midtier, if they infact have one.
DC's best chance for these guys would be to put them out as a team, and then go from there. They just don't seem to have counterparts over there.
Most midtier or questionmark guys are on teams or limbo.

Galactus stated in Anni: SS#3 that he was, in fact, giving Surfer more power than before. I can quote it again, if you'd like.
And Surfer then demonstrated the ability to effortlessly destroy a large fleet, plus Ravenous and his Seekers (powered by the Anti-Power Cosmic) within a page. That demonstrates an increase in his power, considering that no one in the Marvel Universe has been able to stand against the Annihilation Fleet nor the Seekers so far.
And about Current Ion: what feats does he have that suggest he's anywhere near his former godlike status? Omnipotence? No. Omnipresence? Nope. Seems to me he's more in Quasar's league (GL +), not Surfers. Never the less, time will tell.

Also when Galactus said about upgrading his power it didn't seem like he was going to AMP his cosmic abilities a massive degree more that he would be not feel bad using even the powers he has aka holding back syndrome.
Please don't read into that and say I am saying surfer wasn't upgraded, he could be, it just seemed in my opinion alot of it was physcological at this point.
Not to say I agree with all the equal, plus, and minus signs, but I agree those characters are much better suited to fill those roles than the other team.

... I agree that a psychological healing took place. But this was not the only thing Galactus did. Below is the quotes... again.
Galactus: I can give you conviction. Conviction -- And the power to see it through .
Galactus: I can heal you. I can renew your will, grant you new power, take away the remorse...
It's seems pretty clear that Galactus is upgrading Surfer on every level, "to better serve cosmic consonance." Then, Surfer lays waste to a fleet that had, up until that point, never been challenged by anyone in the Universe. Ah, you doubting Dennis's.
