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.

Any character that is "just" a human dies like doesn't matter your skill or superpower a real world swat will just shoot you. And when I say superpower I mean wall level power of course some that can destroy a city with a thought would win.

Tony Stark is 100% just a human, and there is no swat team that is going to take him out while he is in his armor. There are also a lot of others that have no power, but use armor or an artifact, people like Juggernaut, who could take out entire armies.

The thing is, a SWAT team would just wait for Tony Stark to get out of the suit, which he does very often.

what is a swat.

is that like a team of navy seals.

or a team of average cops eating donuts.

for example, my town has swat. one refused to enter a school when a threat was called in. the call happened to be a hoax.

I'm not American but I doubt Swat across different cities across different states and different million people populations are all going to be as bad as your towns Swat, from what I understand the more crime ridden but cities should have even some former military working there.
