Captain America, Sub-Mariner, Barry Allen, Creeper, and Metamorpho.
Dave, the common thread I was looking for with these was the original creator or co-creator returned to the character after being away for a time.
Kirby took over Cap's book in the 70's; Bill Everett returned to the Sub-Mariner in the 40's when he came back from the war, in the 50's when Atlas attempted a revival, in the 60's in issues of Tales To Astonish, and then again in the 70's starting with issue #50; Carmine Infantino illustrated Barry's first adventures in Showcase and his own title as well as his final few years just before the Crisis; Steve Ditko returned to the Creeper in World's Finest; and Ramona Fradon returned to illustrate Metamorpho in First Issue Special #3.
I especially like your guess involving lost loves. I didn't realize how close I came to creating such a list. :-)

Let me go ahead and clear this one out -
QUOTE:
| 1. Batman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow (but NOT Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern) |
|
|
The answer was characters with a regular feature in Detective Comics. Obviously Batman, but also Aquaman from #293-300, Martian Manhunter from #225-326 and Green Arrow from #521-567.

Anyone who can get to the finish line with Peter Martin's one please do so... :-)
Other than that, I think the list is clear so here are three new ones from me:
#1 Aquaman, Tommy Tomorrow, Sgt. Rock, Enemy Ace, Hawkman
#2 Power Man, Dr. Light, Goliath, Huntress, Tarantula (Facts of Life fans may have an advantage...)
#3 Silver Scarab, Spoiler, Bucky, Ms. Marvel, Siryn

Here's a fairly simple one, if you know the characters:
Hal Jordan, Martian Manhunter, Brainiac, Chameleon Boy, & Space Ranger.
