I don't think "the way the weapon works is changed in an adaptation" is an example of Adaptational Badass at all, fwiw.

^ Agreed. Looks more like Adaptational Superpower Change.
I was reading Adaptational Badass and found this entry for Wonder Woman.
"In the comic books Wonder Woman has two lariats, the lasso of compulsion and the lasso of truth, with two different sets of powers and can't effectively use them both at the same time unless one of the Wonder Girls is there to hold the other."
Now I've read Wonder Woman Volume 3 and Volume 4 and there is no mention of this restriction. On the DC wiki page, the lasso of persuasion (not compulsion) is mentioned as belonging to Donna, but doesn't mention the restriction either.
I'm inclined to delete this example, but I have to admit that I haven't read any Volume 2 comics nor Teen Titans comics. Is there anyone knowledgable enough to point to the comics where this is mentioned?
