Yeah, those shields pretty tough!

EDIT: Oops! Ah well...

Yeah, the Spartans in the movie/comic are a bit ridiculous.
Real life, the knights and also the redcoats would be able to stop them easily.

No, not really. There are only 100 knights and there's no way they can break the Spartan phalanx when they're outnumbered 3:1.
The redcoats use muskets that have a short range, take 30 seconds to reload and aren't that accurate. Muskets were actually less effective than bows and arrows in one on one combat.

Did you see Leonardis in the movies? He was pwning giant mythical creatures and taking on entire armies!

If you place the 300 under the same circumstances, so they have the same advantage of terrain as in the movie, then the Knights will have serious problems, if you place them in the open the knights will tear them apart, a Phalanx is only effective when facing a opponent that attacks head on that is where the strength of the Phalanx is located however the minut a approaching force begins to circle the Phalanx it is more ore less useless and once in close the Knights are still armed with their swords and shield, and covered in their Iron plated Armor, I personally have my doubt about the Spartans being capable of using bronze spears/swords to penetrate that armor. We know however that the Medieval knights will face no problem when slashing/stabbing at the Spartans since they carry no armor to cover their torso.
Incorrect the Brown Bess Musket which I believe was used most by the British Red Coats was capable of being reloaded and fired again at least 3 times within one minut, and it had a effective range at 100 yards. Ore perhaps we are using the Baker Rifle? Capable of killing from 300 yards away. Ore we can use the Pattern 1853 Enfield with a effective range at 2000 yards, these where also used by the red coats.

They're not really that overstated. That is pretty much what happened at Thermopylae.
Except for the fact that there were roughly 7,000 Greek soldiers at Thermopylea, and Themistocles of Athens was the driving force behind the Greek armies. 😛
Either way, you're right, they weren't depicted as being super-human by comic-book standards. They wouldn't make it past Batman.

they probably die at the redcoats, since bullets would likely go right through bronze shields, and redcoats had cannonballs. game over.
but assuming they don't...
Lizard slaughters them. He's class 10 with a healing factor, bulletproof hide (screw the swords and spears) and superhuman speed. in close, he tears them apart. remember all 300 can't fight at once, only the first rank of the phalanx.
or if you prefer, lizard just chucks automobile sized boulders at them until they're paste.
