The Lasso of Truth is a weapon wielded by DC Comics superhero Wonder Woman, Princess Diana of Themyscira.[1] It is also known as the Lariat of Truth,[2] the Magic Lasso,[3] the Lasso of Hestia[4] or the Golden Perfect.[5] It was created by William Moulton Marston, inventor of the lie detector, as an allegory for feminine charm, but it later became more popular as a device to extract truth from people.
The lariat forces anyone it captures into submission; compelling its captives to obey the wielder of the lasso and tell the truth.
