The Staff of Understanding is Nubia's signature weapon.

History

The Staff of Understanding was made by the Themysciran blacksmith Io using precious metals only found on the island of Themyscira. It contains a stone blessed and gifted to Queen Nubia by the goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hestia.[1][2]

When wielded, the staff can be used in its original form or transformed into a lasso with unlimited range. The Staff of Understanding has magical properties like those of the Lasso of Truth.[2]

The staff manifests the intention of its wielder. Nubia has been the first and only user, and it's rumored her prolonged exposure to Doom's Doorway has left her with heightened magical sensitivity.[2]
