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.

Nah. Modern SWAT teams have enough people and TTP to completely negate Batman's most used tricks like smoke bombs and hiding in shadows.

Plus they legit would just have a sniper shoot him in the eye or mouth.

If they are indoors a sniper isn't going in... And if they did they aren't going to quick scope him like it is call of duty. Batman's stealth and predatorial abilities would blow a SWAT team out of the water.

I don't think you know what a real-life SWAT team is capable of and what kind of gear they have.

A sniper can see and hit him THROUGH a wall with a good enough rifle and thermals.

There is no kind of stealth that stops that.

Except with plot-armor.

I can tell you're uninformed because you don't seem to understand that thermal imaging doesn't penetrate walls unless something emitting enough heat is close enough and even then it wouldn't give an accurate reading. A Swat team isn't capable of as much as you think they are lol. + To accurately follow batman's movements you would have to completely follow him through the walls which would be hard to follow due to his swift movements and be able to shoot him in the eye or mouth. In addition Batman would most likely have knowledge on a SWAT teams weaponry considering he works close to the GCPD which means that he would likely be prepared and use his understanding of the SWAT team to eliminate them.

You're just making things up now. In the U.S. SWAT units have military grade imaging devices. You can get thermal imaging devices on Amazon that could get the job done.

And Batman just standing in the middle of a room? Sure pal.

This is the plot armor and Batwank that the OP specifically didnt want, so we're done here.
