This CBR article talks of the lasso's soul connection power in 55, but overlooks the fact it was first introduced by Gail Simone in the second issue of her run.

Am I mistaken? I knowthe name golden perfect came from the JLA story but I was sure the power came from her meeting with Captain Nazi years later.

I wish I understood what you were asking here..
I thought it was pretty straightforward. Does the lasso's s power to access the soul first appear in the Gail Simone run?

It's clear and that's the first run I ever remember it appearing. It's safe to say it was a wonderful addition to the Wonder mythos by Gail.

That was answered above, although I think I read that in a golden age book, but it would have been long forgotten.

This I don't understand.
And yet strangely the linked article never mentions Gail as the originator.

Yes. But I think it was less a new power and more the way how Simone interpreted what the lasso has always done.

I agree with that. It was an extension of the lasso's abilities. But certainly the astral plane ability referenced in the article had never been seen before Gail (and the Dodsons) used it in volume 3. So the article really should have referenced their work.
