Generally, the Psychic Character Classes would be substantially lower in power than HU characters, especially with the Proximity = Power rule in BTS2. Serious conversion to that power level would take some time.

Some of the monsters would be of a power level to fit into HU as villains.

The psionic powers are mostly there already. Those that aren't could probably be brought over without much conversion effort.

Dunno about the magic in BTS2 until we get the Arcanum. I can't imagine that there will be a huge in flux of new spells though.

Yeah maybe some of the CEFs or APS Fire. He burns because he is covered in the hellfire from when he sold his soul.

Or there is a person with regenerative powers who just keeps coming back (except for one little weakness) from the immortal or healing factor.

The characters of BtS are much more fragile than their HU cousins.
However, you might get some use out of:

The Hunter/Vigilante.
The Secret Operative.
The Stage Magician.

Depending on the power level of the supernatural opponents, you might also be able to use The Ancient Master and the Physical Training character.

I'd recommend avoiding the Psychic (too powerful for a straight BtS game), and avoid Mutants, Aliens, Experiments and Robotics.

A few of the Power Catagories fro Powers Unlimited might also suit you: YMMV.

I also think that a HU written villian could make a good "Big Bad Guy", if the powers are carefully chosen, and perhaps a few weaknesses added. If you consider The X-Files, alot of the weird creatures could have easily have been written up in HU. In a case like this, I think that it would be possible to write up a single villain that will be a major challenge to the party, but if they all pull together, they can defeat him in the end. Similar to a "monster stomp", but with a different feel, and perhaps a craftier opponent then normal. I also think that a number of the power catagories could work as well.

For PCs, I'd say not a whole lot.

I considered HU2e the most up to date ruleset, but I guess BTS2e should be more complete in that aspect.

I think there would be lots of need NPC stuff... mutant animals I like, but ATB2e is better for that.
