Spartan suits

The Spartan suit is the protective gear that John Diggle wears as his alter-ego, Spartan.

Overview
The first suit consisted of a silver mask with a visor going across the eyes and nose and stopping near the mouth and protective black leather clothing to help him blend in the dark, with sleeves which guns can slide out.

The upgraded suit had the exact same clothing as the last one but had a better new and improved helmet which was the same color as the old one but this one defended the whole of the user's head, while also allowing for a better range of view with the larger visor, it also appeared to have a light shining on the inside.

History
John Diggle gained an idea for a suit after Oliver Queen suggested the need for identity concealment. Since then, Cisco Ramon made him the suit for him to wear which he began using after Oliver retired as the Arrow. When John and Lyla visited Central City to deal with King Shark, Cisco asked how the helmet was doing, to which John admitted it could use some improvements. Cisco resolved to get to work on it. Cisco eventually completed the upgrade, with John using the new improved helmet for the first time during Team Arrow assault on Tobias Church's operations.

Behind the scenes

 * The helmet was quickly met with negative backlash, for looking extremely similar to the helmet used by Magneto in the Marvel Comics X-Men franchise. When Diggle said to Cisco that the helmet could use some improvements this is a possible nod to the negative backlash. He eventually got a brand new helmet which was more improved and had a better design than the last one.
