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.

Kind of want to doubt Cap. The man is superhuman and barely needs to eat or sleep, and has his shield. I think if he wanted to go into hiding he could keep himself from getting merc'd, but other than hiding there isn't much else he could do.

Punisher gets taken down by the FBI before SWAT ever steps in. The man is completely, and obviously unhinged.

This is a good question.

Captain America's a super soldier which makes him stronger and faster than his opponents.

It really boils down whether they can shoot him or not. If the bullets don't penetrate a suit, then he's only vulnerable on the lower face and eyes.

No it boils down to location.
