Third issue of Wonder Woman, Post-Crisis. Diana needed a publicist to further her mission of peace. Thus she was dubbed 'Wonder Woman' by the press and had several TV/magazines interviews discussing where she was from, who she was and more specifically what about her golden lasso.
In fact, talking about her lasso and it's ability to compel people to tell the truth on national television was what prompted her first encounter with Post-Crisis Cheetah.
Cheetah would have never gone after Diana if she had spoken about it and showcased on TV.

It's an oft-whispered rumor amongst the super-criminal community, as proven on-panel. Show me a single scan that shows that her Lasso's properties are known to the general population on DC Earth.
No, you're using one issue of Identity Crisis which contradicts about twenty years and about 100 issues of Post-Crisis Wonder Woman history.
In her first appearance to the public, she spoke about the lasso's abilities.
It's no secret to the world because that was her mission (and the significance of her lasso) to be an ambassador of peace. And in order to do so, she was extremely open about herself and didn't take a secret identity unlike other superheroes.
What the public doesn't really necessarily believe in the lasso is that it really makes people tell the truth or that it's really unbreakable. They're skeptical about that.
Oh and Diana authored a best-selling book about her lasso, history and message of peace during Rucka's run.
So, yeah everybody knows about it.

What you want is Sue to have some method of winning. Badabing says speedblitz is on and he also said Diana knows about her forcefields.
Now you're on your last leg trying to argue your way around the ruling made by Badabing since you don't like it.

Of course, Diana and the Marvel Earth's population would know about Human Torch's ability to be on fire and Mr. Fantastic's ability to stretch. But that automatically leads you to believe that Diana and the Marvel Earth's population knows about Invisible Woman's ability to manipulate forcefields? Ha. They know she can turn invisible, but that she can manipulate forcefields? Show me a a single bit of proof that a normal person would know that. Of course you can't. You want to be intransigient, that's your cup of tea. We all know how the rules would truly play out here.
Wait, so Marvel Earth knows the rest of the Fantastic Four's powers....but not Sue's. Because they can't see her forcefields? That's your arguement?
Wow. Than I guess Marvel Earth's general population doesn't know that Emma Frost is a telepath. Because they can't see her telepathy in action. They obviously don't know that Jean Grey is a telekinetic because they can't see her forcefields or telekinesis either. And what's to prove Quicksilver really has superspeed? They can't see him move that fast since he may as well be invisible.
And what's to prove Sue Storm really turns invisible? May she just teleports since she appears and reappears in another place.
And all those times she was shown floating in midair or having a laser beam bounce off some kind of barrier in the middle of Time Square? Well, those can't be forcefields, obviously?
Sorry, that's not gonna work. Of course, Marvel Earth knows about Sue's forcefields. Don't be silly.
Your only arguement is that if they can't see her forcefields, than the public must not know they exist despite the fact that they're world-wide celebrities, have had hundred of battles in full view of the public in NYC, and even a have Fantastic Four museum in their own damn headquarters.
If the rules of KMC, by your drastic revision, would say that the only way 'general knowledge' can pertain to another character of another universe than Flash wouldn't know about Professor Xavier's telepathy if they fight on KMC. Because telepathy isn't visible to the naked eye. And Colossus wouldn't know about Zatanna's magic. Because who's to say that's really magic and not really just some fancy matter manipulation according to the naked eye?
Sorry, but WW knows about the forcefields....
