Wonder Woman's First Sidekick Has a Lasso More Dangerous than Diana's
Donna Troy (a.k.a. Wonder Girl) uses a magic lasso similar to Wonder Woman's, albeit far more dangerous. Wonder Woman’s most famous weapon in her decades of superhero adventures is her Lasso of Truth, which has a variety of uses in addition to an enchantment that makes lying impossible for those ensnared by it. Donna Troy’s second (and short-lived) lasso, the Lasso of Persuasion, has a far more dangerous enchantment, though Donna Troy would never use it unscrupulously.
Wonder Woman’s iconic Lasso of Truth is crafted by either the Amazons, or Olympians (or both), depending on the continuity, and while its most famous use is compelling beings to tell only the whole truth, it’s also an indestructible multi-purpose artifact. Donna Troy’s unnamed first lasso functions identically to Diana’s only it lacks the truth enchantment. Despite this, it’s still a defensive and offensive weapon that can also be used for transportation (if used as a grappling tool), but it wasn’t until the tail end of the post-Crisis era of DC that Donna Troy finally received an upgrade to her lasso.

In the 44th issue of Justice League of America volume 2, by James Robinson and Mark Bagley, Donna Troy unveils her new primary weapon: The Lasso of Persuasion. The silver lasso, which glows blue when in use, doesn’t compel those it entangles to tell the truth, but instead forces them to obey Donna Troy’s commands, as long as their willpower is weaker than hers (which is often the case, given her iron will). The Lasso of Persuasion’s creation hasn’t been explained in the comics yet, but its enchantment makes it a far more ethically-dubious weapon than Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth.
