History

Created by Zeus, Ruler of The Olympian Gods, and Ares, the God of War, this golden lariat is similar to the Lasso of Truth owned by Wonder Woman and Donna Troy's Lasso of Persuasion. All are physically indestructible, but the Lasso of Lightning possesses different properties than the others.

Upon the command of the wielder, it can generate an electrical current and fire stemming directly from the lightning of Zeus, which can be used to injure opponents.[1][2] The strength of the lightning depends upon the desire and willpower of the wielder.[3][4] The lasso cannot force its targets to tell the truth, but it can force them to experience intense rage—specifically, rage that is directly reflective of their current level of anger.[5]
