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.

Most street level superheroes. Daredevil, Punisher, Spider-Man, Batman... Dead, dead, dead, dead.

Spider-Man may survive. The others are toast.

You're right. Spider-Man does have a chance. He's also borderline street-level. The perennial underdog that skirts being a major power and minor power. Part of why he's so beloved I think.

What on Gods green earth are you guys smoking? Spider-Man is one of the strongest (if not THE strongest) super hero in all of the MCU. He hold back because he doesn’t want to kill people. Calling him borderline STREET LEVEL!? Insane 🤣🤣

Spider man has traded punches with the Hulk before, he was also hit with anti hulk weapons with no permanent damage. He is up there.

The larger discussion is not about the MCU, so I though I wold expand it.

Couldn't find the specific comic, but there's a quora on it,

As it always goes when it goes to comics, depends on the version, worldbreaker hulk, no. Baseline Hulk, yes.

He also has knocked the Hulk out on occasion.

Spider-Man has the most plot armor of any superhero.
