The Lasso of Truth is a fictional weapon wielded by DC Comics superheroine Wonder Woman, Princess Diana of Themyscira. Originally named The Magic Lasso of Aphrodite, it is usually referred to as the Magic Lasso or Golden Lasso and forces anyone it captures to obey and tell the truth. Originally, it was created by Dr. William Moulton Marston as an allegory for feminine charm and compelled its captives to obey the wielder of the Lasso.
