shortly after joining the teen titans, ares approached her and gave cassandra her own magic lasso. unlike wonder woman's lasso of truth, cassandra's is a weapon which channels zeus' lightning when she becomes angry. when the greek gods left the mortal plane as a result of the events of "infinite crisis", taking cassandra's powers along with them, ares offered her some of his power, saying that she would be "more powerful than [she's] ever been". what this entails is not made entirely clear, though she appeared to have retained all of her former abilities. in a storyline taking place "one year later", cassie was shown catching a falling jet, which she was surprised at being able to accomplish. however, while trying to stop the military from detaining her mother, ares causes her powers to fluctuate when he believes she is wasting them on frivolous matters.
