Are their powers crossed over as is ? SDC based or are they converted into MDC lvl powers ?

Depends on the power/ability. CB1, both first and second edition do the conversions to MD for the Heroes Unlimited core book as does Skraypers.

As Jock said. All the PS's become supernatural and i think rule of thumb is the energy expulsions by and large are md as re most of the APS abilities. Sadly there are no conversions for anything NOT in the main HU book.

So basically then it up to interpretation ?

If it adds PE, it makes the individual MDC.
If it adds a lot of HP/SDC, it makes the individual MDC.
If it adds a lot of PS, it makes the individual's PS supernatural.
If it alters a character's physical form, that alternate form is MDC.
If something deals damage other than through physical blows with fists/feet, it deals MD.
The specific conversions listed in CB1 and Skraypers seem to follow these rules, so it would be fair to assume that other powers/abilities not specifically converted follow the same.
