Battle Which superheroes/villains would lose to a real world SWAT team if they were stripped of plot armor?

The SWAT team will employ real world tactics and resort to deadly force if necessary. Whoever they're facing off against has their standard gear and will resist to the best of their ability, but they don't get any of their standard plot armor.

Remove plot armor, GCPD SWAT eliminates Batman's entire rouges gallery in every situation. The only ones they'd have trouble with is Heath Ledger's Joker and every version of Bane, as they both have real world military training.

Do SWAT teams have a way to kill Clayface?

Have fun with that piece crawling up your butt and turning into a ball of knives.

IIRC, with some versions of him, you could also run into a problem of suddenly having multiple different Clayface personalities running around, all equally powerful, with the only limit that they can't get super huge without rejoining one another.
