Who can resist the "Lasso of Truth"?

[Cody]

Has anyone ever resist it before in the comics? Who potentially could if it were to ever grab a hold of them(cosmic or otherwise)? What about characters outside of DC? Like Thanos for example? Or Odin? Or a Celestial? Or Galactus? Etc?

There's been the occasional joke that if Diana put it on a politician or something, he'd explode.

Other than that, I got nothing.

[Carabas]

It has always been treated as an absolute effect, I can think of no entity that even tried to resist.

Well, there was Matt Wagner's Trinity where Bizarro beat it, but that was a story that really threw Wonder Woman under the bus, unable to deal with oponents that Batman handles casually.

Morrison's JLA had Prometheus threaten to "resist the lasso until my mind is in tatters". He never actually had to, but it was shown to give Wonder Woman pause for concern. Should be noted that this wasn't Diana, but Hippolyta as WW. Still, it's interesting that a human seemed to be able to legitimately threaten to resist it and have it be taken seriously.

Black Bolt. Yes, Wonder Woman has him in the Lasso of Truth, but can she really handle him telling her the truth?

[The Dork Knight]

Prometheus thing is unproven and probably PIS in any case given people who mentally shield not just themselves but the rest of the league from mental/reality warping effects that have taken hold of the rest of the planet, are unable to say "no" to the effects of the lasso

[Captain Morgan]

The lasso has also been used to one shot a planetary scale reality warper who draws power from fiction, and it breaking at one point (due to some spiritual uncertainty from Diana or some such) caused a breakdown of reality.

Does the Lasso of Truth include a universal translator effect? If not, most foreigners and aliens can tell the truth and Wonder Woman won't understand them. Or for that matter, a deaf person would be unable to express himself with sign language while bound up in the lasso. A speedster or even a professional auctioneer could say the truth so quickly that Wonder Woman won't get it.

The Lasso is not usually used for interrogations but for breaking through illusions and self-deception and such.

Put the Lasso on Doctor Doom and it will destroy him, because he will know with absolute clarity that Reed Richards has done nothing to him and that it was his own damn fault that the experiment blew up in his face. Even if he has absolutely no way of communicating with Wonder Woman for whatever reason.

Eh, wouldn't it.just go by whoever is the strongest to have resisted it +1. So, like, if the b st feat of the lasso is compelling the truth from say Spectre without backing of the presence, you just.gotta go one higher.

Also, it seems like everyone tries to resist it by force. What if you're enlightened to the point you construe your truth as the only one behind even reality of something. Kinda like how thanos does at his best....

[Ragged Maw]

Someone who can literally brainwash him/herself at will to believe his/her own lies wholeheartedly?

....And maybe Joker, because the plot dictates no one can know his true identity.

The Lasso would force the Joker to tell the truth about his identity, namely that he's as much in the dark about it as everybody else.

It keeps people from lying, even to helselves, it doesn't convey clairvoyance.

Problem: nobody has ever resisted.

Problem: nobody has ever resisted.

Well, almost no one.
