I have recently fell in love with the Savage Worlds rules system for RPGs and I am now into Necessary Evil, their superhero setting for Savage Worlds.
However, I'm a long-time Marvel player, having played the original Marvel Superheroes RPG by TSR and the SAGA version too. Does anyone know where I can get a conversion of either of these for Necessary Evil (Savage Worlds) PLEASE?
I want to convert Marvel characters into the Necessary Evil (Savage Worlds) rules format.

Outside of the SW community, that setting is not highly regarded among the superhero RPG fans so I doubt there is a conversion of it on the net. If you do a search on RPG.net, you may find a person talking about a conversion. I do recall there was a member wanting to convert it but I don't recall if it was to HERO or the old Marvel RPG.
The conversions don't seem to be that much to begin with. Most of the fighting will be with robot drones and the V'Sori. I don't know how many of the members here own that setting. I own it and I went through 4 of the plot points before the game was dropped by my GM due to the drop in number of player participation. I did enjoy the twist of being a supervillain and at the same time fight the alien occupation.
Which of the Marvel system were you going to convert it to? I don't have the classic Marvel RPG but I do have the SAGA version. If you post your conversions here, I'll be happy to look over and add my thoughts.

I think you misunderstand me.....I purchased Necessary Evil simply for the Savage Worlds rules for superheroes and NOT for the setting. I do not intend to use the setting at all. I simply want to play Marvel Universe with Savage Worlds rules, since it is my opinion that Savage Worlds is the best rpg ruleset ever. Thus, I'm looking to convert Marvel characters from either the old rpg or the SAGA version or, maybe even the last version (in-house resouce management system) into NE.
As for me possibly converting it myself I'm not sure as yet if I'll be converting the original TSR Marvel Superheroes game or the SAGA TSR version. I am leaning toward the former at this point since I slightly prefer it to the SAGA version.

Check this site out. He converted a lot of Marvel characters to SW: swpccc.blogspot.com/Scroll down near the end of the web page and you'll see a list of conversion he did. He also put up a guide to converting Marvel to NE. Then there is Savage Heroes which had Marvel conversions but I haven't checked that site in a while so some of the contents may have changed. There is a link to that in the PEG website.

Yeah, I've checked that site and the other one you spoke of but the problem is that they only seem to have really old and mostly defunct characters from the golden years of comics. I'm seeking much more up to date stuff on characters like the Silver Surfer, Captain America (just prior to the death debaucle), the Hulk, Fantastic Four, Avengers, Iron-Man, X-Men, etc.
Thanks for that link though too! I found a nice conversion guide there.
