Definitely. The only MU version we got was her owl form packed with Puck.

Would've also liked Sasquatch. Easy remold into Wendigo, too. Fingers crossed they eventually come out in some other line, but with MU articulation.

Well, they both have powers independent of each other. But they also had a couple that could only be used when they were in direct contact with each other (which I believe is still the case).

Kinda, though Aurora and Northstar's powers were vastly different from the Wonder Twins. WT had to contact each other to use their powers, while Jean-Paul and Jeanne Marie had independent and combined powers, as I mentioned above.

Both have superhuman speed, flight, strength, and endurance. Northstar is faster, but Aurora has greater endurance and can maintain speed longer than her brother. When touching, they are able to emit bursts of light to blind opponents (referencing their code names).

EDIT: And after a quick Wikipedia search, they can now also emit explosive thermal energy as well as light.
