David Ramsey, who plays John "Digg" Diggle on "Arrow," defended his season four costume following criticism from fans and revealed what S.T.A.R. Labs had to do with its creation during an interview with TV Guide Magazine (via GreenArrowTV).

"I like it," Ramsey said. "I know there's a lot of criticism that it looks like the Magneto helmet. But by the time you see Diggle in action -- we also get into what the helmet can do -- you won't be thinking of the X-Men at all. There is a very cool gun too. The gun and the helmet, by the way, are S.T.A.R. Labs creations."

Ramsey announced that his character would be getting his own superhero outfit at this past Comic-Con International in San Diego, saying, "Diggle is going to get some sort of concealment... I didn't expect to be as well-conceived as it was -- I don't think you'll be disappointed." The costume made its online debut in a promotional still earlier this month.

Starring Ramsey, Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards, "Arrow" season four is scheduled to debut Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 8 pm EST on The CW.
