Spartan (John Diggle)

John Thomas Diggle, Sr., is a decorated former United States Army Special Forces soldier, honorably discharged with the rank of master sergeant, and Oliver's friend and partner. While John Diggle was originally a character created for the show, his popularity led to a character of the same name modeled after Ramsey's appearance to be created for the Green Arrow comics in The New 52. While elements from the Arrow TV series were removed after issue 40, John appeared again following the relaunching of the series as part of DC Rebirth.
