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.

Hot take? Batman would eventually take some hits by sheer luck in numbers in many portrayals. Smart Batman would actually fear guns and stay far far away and be a predator picking them off like the Arkham games. Batman that eventually jumps in the fray and moves against multiple opponents would eventually just dumb luck take a round.

The real hot take.

Batman would be dead.

Peak human can't evade gunfire.

No body armor can withstand multiple shots from a high-caliber weapon.

The love child of Bruce Lee and Mat Frasier isn't getting out of this one alive.
