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.

It is a fan theory, there are a few videos explaining it online but some of his behaviors are those that are common among people with military training. The gist is that he was a superb planner for operating requiring lots of people involving violence who well understood the inner mechanisms of government. That sort of thing isn't something you just pick up, so the quickest explanation is that he is former military.

I’ve seen that, and as much as I agree, unless we have direct confirmation from the director or writer or whatever, I don’t think we can assume and use it as a feat/evidence

How about this, the SWAT team are all with the Heath Ledger Joker, on his side. They turn their guns against other cops.

Chaos ensues.

It’s like they didn’t watch The Dark Knight :)
