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.

 We literally seen Spidey close his eyes and dodge hundreds if not thousands of bullets

We see him close his eyes and rejoice as drones miss him at point-blank range while he moves no faster than he does in any other scene.

 Wanda has too much hax to ever be taken out by them

She gets knocked around all the time with non-lethal weapons like War Machine's sonic cannon and Bruce's tackle. Hawkeye solo'd her with a taser.

He scales to the other 2 movie Spider-man characters so we know hes superfast even if its not presented as a blur

Youre saying that like she didnt get stronger since then. If strange couldve subdued her with a taser he wouldve

 He scales to 

I'm gonna take that as a concession that his feats don't measure up.

One of those Spider-Men was canonically beaten by a SWAT team that didn't want to kill him, by the way. The other got tossed around and tagged a bunch by a pro wrestler.

 so we know hes superfast

We can literally see with our eyes that this isn't true.

Strange and co aren't particularly competent combatants. News at 11. He's another character who'd be screwed if MCU goons both used guns and went for the kill.

He was beaten when he was blinded and not even attacking them. He was untouchable until his back was turned and he got blindsided by a chair

And since when does visual representation which is for the audience equal to how fast they're actually going ?

What was the solution to beating a reality warper that no one else thought of that was right in front of them ? Last i checked Strange doesnt fight regular dudes with guns so what are you even talking about

dude, if a character is said to be capable of dodging bullets, has dodged bullets many many many times, and has the ability to literally sense danger, them dodging bullets isn’t plot armor. like spider-man dodges bullets in like every version of himself.
