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.

Don't know if they technically count as super heroes, but: most Jedi.

Even ignoring the idea that lighsabers can't deflect bullets (which IMO is inacurate for how lightsabers are actually portrayed), we know that Jedi canonically can be overwhelmed by mass gunfire (see: Genesis arena).  And a SWAT team going full-auto is going to be more overwhelming than a squad of battle-droids or Jango Fett with a blaster pistol.
