Warning! Contains spoilers for Wonder Woman #1!The history of Wonder Woman has just changed forever. As a new enemy officially debuts in the DC Universe, a weapon connected to Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth helps reveal the existence of a third lore-changing relic.
Wonder Woman fans all know about Wonder Woman's daughter Trinity, aka Elizabeth Marston Prince. Unlike her mother, who only ever wielded the Lasso of Truth, Trinity wielded three Lassos of Fate: A gold one, a black one, and a silver one. Trinity only briefly showed off the power of the black one and used it to defeat a false Wonder Woman. The silver lasso, however, remained a mystery.
The Lasso of Lies Helps Reveal a New Wonder Woman Weapon
In Wonder Woman #1 by Tom King and Daniel Sampere, an Amazon kicks off a wave of controversy after she kills a bar full of men after one assaults her. The outrage from the attack leads the United States government to creating the Amazon Safety Act, which bans all Amazon from the country and leads to the formation of the Amazon Extradition Entity (or A.X.E.). After A.X.E. deports and even kills Amazons, the division catches Wonder Woman. Diana subdues each member of A.X.E., including its leader Sarge Steel. She interrogates Steel and discovers that he isn't acting on the authority of a general or even the President, but a man known as the Sovereign. The Sovereign is revealed to be a monarch who comes from a long line of men who have been secretly ruling the country with the Lasso of Lies: A powerful magical item that can make the world believe the holder's lies.
Though the third Lasso of Fate hasn't been officially named, a dialogue exchange may have already revealed what it is. In the "Trinity" story, Elizabeth visits an imprisoned Sovereign to find out her origin story. During her talk with the deposed villain, Trinity says "I tire of secrets. I get bored of lies.", and implies she desires the truth. Wonder Woman's golden lariat is the Lasso of Truth. Sovereign's onyx weapon in the Lasso of Lies. Based on this scene, the third and most mysterious of the three could be the Lasso of Secrets.
What a Lasso of Secrets Means Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth compels those bound within it to tell the truth. The Lasso of Lies allows its holders to make the world believe their lies. Who knows how a potential Lasso of Secrets could work? Perhaps it can uncover the deepest, most well-hidden secrets of the world, or even create mysteries of its own. A secret isn't exactly the truth, but it's not exactly a lie either. Secrets are somewhere in between, so the correlating Lasso of Fate may have some unique twist on its sister weapons. Fans are just going to have to wait and see what kind of potential powers the mysterious third lasso has and what it means for the Wonder Woman of today and tomorrow. Wonder Woman #1 is on sale now.
