You'd have to prove that, and you just proved that you have no credibility when it comes to judging or "not" judging.

Blue Marvel, Mon El, and Captain Marvel (Billy) get my immediate vote due to the amount that these few would be willing to stick their necks out to save any given populace.
However Magneto, Thor, Gladiator, Black Adam, Nova Prime could easily fill this role if we were to place them all in different possible futures. <--- I realize that the last paragraph was outside of what the OP asks for, but I just thought that it would be interesting to see this from different perspectives.
What about the, "In less perfect Worlds than the DCU or Marvel U situation? What about being the hero of the downtrodden or post nuclear survivors? Yadda...
I personally believe that many here are under the impression that the hero must be a boy scout to uphold the laws of the land, and be lawfully good like Superman and his hoky impersonator Captain Marvel. I don't think it's at all true. Nova Prime did it.
What are you talking about?

Dwelling slightly off the beaten track, outside of comics, there's a few worthy manga folk..
Goku, of course. Vash. And especially Kenshiro.
Considering the world he lives in, Kenshiro is the embodiment of inspirational heroes.
Not Naruto. He sucks.
GOKU SUCKS TOO!!!!

I'm thinking pre DBZ Goku.
He wasn't nearly as sanctimonious or annoying, and even killed when he needed to. (Like the Red Ribbon Army.)

i find the talk about characters being able to reaplace superman 'if they were written differently' pretty hilarious. and if spiderman were written as being able to break moons he could replace superman too.
realistically, if you really want to replace him, you need a high herald with the strongest will in comics (arguably) tempered by the strongest moral code in comics (arguably).
there is no one. at least no one written in character who matches that. none of the clones come close. each falls well short in one area or other. maybe wonderwoman, though morally she's slightly off. maybe cap marvel. not many fit this set of criteria.

Looking at the OP's clarification, I think she was talking about inspiration/leadership specifically, not the whole package.

Ignoring powers, I think Captain America is a good candidate.

Cap's almost never portrayed as the guy you'd want leading your super group.
Supermans both an inspiration and a leader of heroes. In JSA and JLA, he was the good soldier, not the leader.

This^ I've never been one to consider Billy as inspirational, he 's just toooo goody good. And even though he has the power and ability to fill clarks shoes, i dont see him being the leader that all other heroes would look up too.
IMO Mar-vell is and too a lesser extent WW, although she'd need a strength durability upgrade

Captain America would easily fill in the inspirational/leader aspect of Superman's character and bring with it a better tactical mindset.

I think Captain America is the only one who could do it.
In DC?
I don't see anyone, Maybe but MAYBE Captain Comet and i doubt he can pull it off
