Don't get me wrong, I think it was pretty dumb to mix lines like this too, but each two pack comes with a comic book that goes over why the two characters are packaged together.

..I think the biggest problem with the two packs is the choice of characters. A lot of the two packs came with figures that most collectors would already have (or 50% of the two pack--Superman, HeMan, Hal Jordan, Skeletor, etc,.. all very common to collectors).
