How to convert Champions in GURPS?

Any simple guide on how to do this, even NOT knowing a single bit of
Champions? ^______^

I'm NOT searching a 400-pages manual, just a guideline for main
statistics.

I agree. It's enough to know that a guy is really, really strong or
fast
or whatever, and then go with the same idea in GURPS. Some general
ideas, though:

Strength: 20 is the human maximum in Hero, similarl to GURPS,
but a 1 to 1 conversion might not work well since it's so much
cheaper in Hero than GURPS. In Hero, 30-45 or so is a minor
brick (I think Spider-Man would be about a 45 if I'm remembering
correctly), 50-60 is a middle-level brick (the Thing, Colossus),
and 65+ is some serious strength, on the order of the Hulk.

Dexterity: 20 is the human max in Hero, but that doesn't mean
you should give a Hero character with say 27 Dex higher than
a 20 Dex in GURPS. Costs too damn much, for one thing,
and the way the Hero rules work tends to reward higher
Dexes than might really be in character. Just remember that
high Dex means really fast and you should be fine. Compare
the GURPS character to other characters and fudge it.

Mental Stats: GURPS has only one, but Hero has
several. Intelligence maps pretty well between the
systems, which you'd expect. A high Ego in
Hero can be modelled with some levels of Extra
Willpower, or whatever it's called, and a high Presence
can justify purchasing Charisma.

Con and Body: Con will often be higher than Body in
a Hero character, sometimes by a significant amount.
This is normal, and doesn't mean you have to mess
around with increased or reduced hit points. If the
Hero character has a very high Body, though,
especially over 20, I'd definitely buy some extra
hit points to represent innate physical toughness.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head
and without going to get my books. And they're
all the way upstairs, and I'm far too lazy for that.
