Marvel Super Heroes to Champions Conversions

In the fall 1984 issue of Adventurers Club, George MacDonald's "Champions Plus" column featured conversions between the then-new Marvel Superheroes SHRPG and Champions.  Since then, a few changes have come and gone in both systems, but the conversions are still useful for those who wish to move characters from one game to another.
