John-117 is a Spartan II, it's been stated since he was created, in every book and game and comic. And in Legends he was leading an entire team of S-2's, so yeah.
And like Blaxican said, Spartans are ordinary humans who've undergone extensive genetic restructuring and upgrades. They've got titanium laced bones, extremely dense muscles, etc....

Ahhh, but you see, the difference is we have documented materials for Halo legends. None of the bonus materials for the the Lord of the Rings movies state the Sauron is a Demi-God. In fact, that whole Maiar mythology was excluded from the film, on purpose. Why? Because it would entail even more story and "facts" that could have been ****ed up in addition to too much time spent on it.
However, we know for a fact which characters are Spartan IIs and which aren't: their armor indicates exactly that.
Spartan I's? Nope. Spartan III's? Nope. Spartan II's? Yup. This is external of the documentation, of course. There's also the special features.
Calling Sauron a demi-god? Not true. That would go to the Valar as they are the Demi-Gods. The Maiar would be the equivalent to heralds of the Valar. Technically, none of them have the ability to make complete life so none of them would be demi-gods: just heralds to Eru.

It's been covered, by myself, already, in the most adequate way. However, I'll do it again, for you.
The Spartan II taken down by the Brute was much larger than the humans she was with. She also displayed quite a large amount of superhuman strength.
So what about her armor? Superior to mithril, lol. It is also cybernetically enhanced to increased strength and absorb impacts.
The gravity hammer? Like it has been pointed out, it can launch multi-ton vehicles like it ain't no thang.
John-117? He's far superior to his Spartan-II companions. Arguably the best that the Spartan program has produced.
So our lady Spartan (who's name I remembered only a couple of days ago...but I can't remember today), who is inferior to John in everyway, died from a direct head shot from a Brute. But it wansn't an immediate death.
A gravity hammer blow is >>>>>>>>> Sauron's mace. What would happen to John? Most likely, he'd be launched but his armor and skeleton should be more than enough to get by with nothing more than minor bruises, if that.

The real irony there actually is that we see the brute, which going by size and bulk must obviously weigh at least 800 or so pounds, get kicked even further than what Sauron's mace does.
trolo, spartan kick > sauron mace strike. double gg

Really. All right I'll take your word for it.

Umm not even close. He kicks the brute back no more than a dozen feet, who then falls down a waterfall.
BTW, I'm not saying Sauron wins. He still has to hit Chief who is incredibly fast, I just doubt MC will survive such an attack.

But we are not in universe characters and we can call them demi-gods as they are not "The Gods."
They shaped the world... I guess Gods may not be the most accurate term for them, but in truth neither is "demi-god". Regardless, they are equivelient with mytholigical gods, while the maiar are equivilant with demigods. There functions and roles are all similar.
