Howdy I'm a little new at this and I was looking to get some clarity on matter eater lad's trait. can he use this ability more than once a turn?

MATTER, EATEN: Give Matter-Eater Lad a free action and destroy an adjacent wall, adjacent square of blocking terrain, or remove an object in his square or an adjacent square from the game.


From page 8 of the rule book:

Using a free action does not consume one of your available actions for the turn, and you may give your characters as many free actions as game effects allow. A character may not activate the same game effect twice in one turn with free actions, unless the game effect indicates otherwise.


Since the trait does not specifically say it may be used more than once, it can only be used one time per turn.

Thanks a lot for the help

I also have a question about the trait:

It says "remove an object in his square or an adjacent square from the game."

Can you "eat" an object held by an opposing character? I would say no, but it has come up in recent games.

You are correct. It is not in that square.
