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.

Batman has plenty of rogues that destroy a swat team.

Killer Corck, Clayface, Gundy, Poison Ivy, anyone from or trained by the league of assassins, Deadshot, Mr. Freeze, a swat team doesnt have any chance against them.

Theres also the fact that no swat team would ever make it to some of the mob bosses. Penguin and Black Mask for example, even if they would lose in a cage fight, take a lot of precautions and the odds of them losing to a team is nearly zero in context.

Humans cannot survive the temperatures he can create

I guess if he get time to create an area where everything that enter freeze to death than I can see him winning.

But Isn’t he just a dude with a freeze gun otherwise?

He could create it instantly even while being attacked. He also wears pretty strong bulletproof armor but he can be heated up

his head is literally surrounded by glass. I also feel like you’re way overestimating a gun that can freeze things.

He’s a dude with a gun that freeze thing, even accounting for the fact that his armor is bulletproof, it’s not like he can do anything if 10 guy just rush at him while trying to disarm him.

Yeah and I'm pretty sure his freeze gun is slower / and has less range than regular guns, he surely just gets shot first in an open confrontation

And its not regular glass you think he didnt reinforce his one weakness against batman ? They would instantly be on the verge of dying the temps would be that cold

I feel like you massively overestimating his capabilities

u/Kgb725 Aug 05 '25

First I can provide proof if you want me to. Second his weapons are close to absolute zero nobody is surviving that

u/Fluffy-Map-5998 Aug 05 '25

I'd like proof but first can you tell me which freeze we are talking about? There's definitely some where he's a walking tank and others where he's a dude wearingNa fishbowl and tossing ice cubes at people,

Comic freeze also varies in ability to take hits, from being subdued by pistol rounds to tanking anti-tank fire, it's clear your talking about the more durable versions of him but still, you can't just go "comic (character that's been in dozens of comic issues/runs)" as a measure if hoe powerful that character is,

He was bulletproof in batman and robin movie and in the arkham games plus the TV show hes shown upgrading his weapons and armor. Im bringing up mainline comic freeze not any alternate universes or timelines. Freeze has never meant to be a guy that can be taken down easily hes been bulletproof for decades im not sure what youre talking about
