The Marvel swimsuit editions are a magical thing of utter crack, even if they do suffer from bad 90s art in a lot of places. One of the swim suit issues featured Frank Castle in a skull-shaped thong. No, really. Also "naked" Ghostrider laying in the surf in a pin-up pose with a half-melted bottle on sunblock next to him, surronded by a cloud of steam.

Tony is way over-muscled in both pictures, alas, but that's parr for the course for the 90s (he's also lacking the shrapnel-scarring he really ought by all logic to have, but they almost always leave that out), but it's the cocktail in his hand in the second one that really makes me go WTF. Well, that and Steve's horrid hair in the first picture.

(best scans_daily comment I saw on the Steve & Diamondback picture: "Get a better beard, Cap. This one's tacky.")
