It’s finally summer! Soaring temperatures and vacation means it’s pool time. Our team decided to beat the heat by going back to that most storied Marvel classic, the swimsuit special. Just in time for Marvel’s official relaunch of the special in July, we’re dipping our toes into the pool of mutant fashion and sizzling summer sexiness. Everyone took on one (or more) of their favorite characters and designed some fabulous custom swimwear for them.

We went back through the old Marvel Swimsuit Specials and pulled some of our favorite pages, a mix of cheeky, choice-filled and sexy.
