| − | ===Helping Green Arrow=== |
||
| − | While sitting in his apartment one night, Diggle was paid a visit by the Green Arrow, who was bleeding out and needed help. Diggle patched him up, and was asked by Oliver to join him in his crusade to protect the city. Oliver trusted Diggle due to him not revealing his identity to anyone, telling anyone he was back, and the fact that Diggle was willing to protect Oliver's mother's life with his own.

Diggle then tells Dragon that it wasn't Oliver as the Green Arrow that killed his father, putting him on his current path, but actually Diggle, who had taken the suit without Oliver's permission. This is revealed to be the reason Diggle left Team Arrow the first time around. |
||
| − | When Oliver returns to Seattle, he is informed of the situation and rushes to help Diggle. Oliver arrives to find Diggle falling to his death. After saving Diggle from his fall, the pair head back to where Richard Dragon is. Neither is able to defeat him on their own, but together they put a stop to Dragon's takeover of Seattle. |

| − | ===Rebirth=== |
||
| − | During the events of [[DC Rebirth]], Diggle was working as a soldier for hire. He returned to Seattle after recieving an anonymous message about Oliver Queen's death.
