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.
