Hercules, Wendell Vaughn, and Steve Rogers in Marvel Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Image
With this game of tug of war, it looks like team speedo vs team board shorts.  We have Captain America, Hercules, and maybe Quasar all repping for us, and looking good while doing it.   And a close-up on Team Speedo:   

Simon Williams in Marvel Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Image
Simon sure does get a lot of brief-love in these swimsuit specials. And I am certainly celebrating, not complaining.  The first, a simple, skimpy, self-branded speedo:  And the second, a reference to Jim Palmer's famous Jockey ads   It's uncanny: 

Steve Rogers in Marvel Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Image
Steve and Diamond back proudly show off American colors in all the right places.   

Johnny Storm in Marvel Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Image
Jubilee getting some dinosaurs to chase after a whole hunk of meat, Johnny Storm.   

Walter Langkowski in What If? #59

Image
A "What If" on whether Wolverine led Alpha Flight or not. But we know Walter's always wearing briefs under his fur before he transforms. I really gotta start collecting his issues. 

Marc Slayton in Backlash and Taboo's African Holiday

Image
My favourite hero of the Wildstorm universe (besides Midnighter and Apollo of course), for this book alone. He looks so freaking GOOD. Those tiny ass speedos, and an even smaller pair of white briefs. He and Taboo are just trying to enjoy a slutty holiday, I have no idea why there are dinosaurs in Africa.   

Luther Manning (Clone) in Astonishing Tales #35-36

Image
 I don't understand Deathlok lore, but there's a clone of him who fights an bigger radioactive clone in some small black briefs. 

Logan Howlett and Bobby Drake in 1995 Fleer Ultra X-Men Trading Cards

Image
A couple of these awesome cards depict these two heroes in speedos on the beach!  Logan cooking some sausages with his claws, while his other sausage is hiding behind the BBQ.  A rather butch-looking Bobby having his ice form melt in the sun. Soon we'll see that speedo poking through!  

Frank Castle in Punisher: Intruder

Image
A really dark and violent scene, Frank is captured by Mr Soon, a part of a large anti-communist vigilante organization. He is tortured for information about a little girl Frank rescued, with a bag, belt and... urine? It's a pretty gross scene to be honest, I like a good bondage moment but this is ridiculous. At least Frank looks hot and gets out of it.   

Civilian in Teen Titans #72 (TW: Body horror)

Image
Really hate seeing these kinds of panels. A poor guard got his uniform stolen and murdered in a really gruesome way by the villain Shimmer. Besides Doctor Light, she's my least favorite of the Fearsome Five for this very reason.   

Barry Allen, Hal Jordan and Thomas Kalmaku in Green Lantern #13

Image
Barry and Hal go to a private pool party with Iris West, Carol Ferris, and Thomas and Tegra Kalmaku. All 3 guys rocking some speedos, although Hal's wearing his boyfrie - friend's colour. Thomas and Tegra go swimming first (forgive the 60's coloring trends), while Barry fears that Hal knows he's the Flash.   

Buddy Baker in 52 #5

Image
While their ship is broken down, Animal Man and Starfire take a dip in a paradise lake. Buddy is having some home sickness, and looking cute in some black briefs, Starfire clearly goes commando.   

Sam Wilson in Captain America #22

Image
Sam and the daughter of Arnim Zola wake up from a pleasurable night, although it seems it wasn't entirely Sam's intention. Still, he looks super hot in those black briefs, never picked him to be the type.
