That's a hard choice. I'll have to think about it.
1. Who would it be?
Iron Man
2. What DC Super Villain would you mostly put up against him or her?
Lex Luthor.
3. Which DC City would he or she live in?
Metropolis.
4. Would you have him or her involved with any other DC Superhero? If Yes which Individual and/or Group?
His introductory storyline would be in an issue of Green Arrow. Ollie goes after billionaire industrialist Tony Stark for his ties to weapons manufacturing, has the obligatory Misunderstanding Fight, and eventually finds out that Tony's not nearly as bad as he originally thought and actually does a lot of good or whatever. Green Arrow grudingly relents his vendetta against Tony.
As the billionaire playboy, Tony has frequent run-ins with Bruce Wayne, who sees him as competition, but brilliant nonetheless. As the (eventual) Secretary of Defense, he has frequent run ins with Wonder Woman the ambassador, who sees him as a dangerous ends-justify-the-means politician. As Iron Man operating in Metropolis, he has frequent run-ins with Superman, who sees him as a powerful ally, especially against the thorn in both their sides: Lex Luthor.
In this timeline, Stark Industries hires Dr. John Henry Irons, aka Steel, after he leaves Amertek. Tony and John -- both inventive geniuses -- become good friends, and instead of following in Superman's footsteps as he does in the real timeline, John Irons becomes Iron Man's protege. Essentially filling the role of Jim Rhodes aka War Machine in the Marvel universe, John becomes "Steel Man" to Tony's Iron Man. This has some serious repercussions felt down the line, changing some pretty pivotal events in DCU history.
5. Would you have him or her involved with any other DC NON Superhero? If Yes who?
During the time of JLI, Tony also becomes associated with Max Lord. They never really become friends so much as rivals, each trying to one-up the other. As time passes, Tony finds out about Max Lord's plans, exposes him, and replaces him as the Black King of Checkmate.
While not as ruthless as Lord was, Tony is no less paranoid. After hearing about what happened to Batman and to Dr. Light, he fears the JLA would do the same to him at some point. It is at this time that he is also fighting a losing battle with alcoholism, which further distorts his morality and grasp on reality. His paranoia towards superhumans eventually surpasses anything Batman or Max Lord every dreamt of.
Instead of supplanting Brother I from Batman, Tony instead creates his own Brother Eye satellite to monitor and control the metahuman population. And instead of using nanite-infected innocent civilians to do his work, the "OMACs" of Tony's Brother Eye are instead half-robotic clones of Superman, "Cyborgs" in every sense, which he created using Brainiac technology and DNA from a strand of Superman's hair he collected during their very first team-up. The Clupermen are far too powerful for the superheroes of the DCU to handle.
Batman's Brother I, however, is still around; it was never destroyed and more importantly, it never left his control. Using the resources available to him from the Brother I satellite, Batman turns the tide of the engagement, and what follows is the OMAC Wars; Iron Man's Cluperman OMACs versus Batman's Kryptonite-armed OMAC batbots.
At the last minute, it is Superboy who sacrifices himself to defeat the clone army of Supermen. And John Irons -- who had been Tony's ally up to this point -- finally betrays him, giving the heroes one clear final shot at destroying his Brother Eye satellite. At the last confrontation, Wonder Woman snaps Tony's neck, knowing that he would never relent this crusade.
6. Would he or she retain their memory of the MARVEL universe?
No...but during the Crisis or Hypertime storylines, there could be some fun confuzzling moments.
