Julienne cut the zucchini and yellow squash. Slice the onion. Cut the peppers into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sugar.
To the marinade, add the zucchini, yellow squash, onion, green pepper, and red pepper. Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but not more than 24 hours.
Heat the reserved 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the vegetables and sauté until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir in the corn and beans; increase the heat to high for 5 minutes to brown the vegetables.
