I have a Scott Free <> Mr. Miracle and a Mimic in play. At the start of the combat phase, Mr. Miracle has his cosmic counter, and Mimic takes Mr. Miracle's Activated powers. Here's what each of their texts are:
My question is, does Mimic have a cosmic counter to remove to use Scott Free's activated power? The rule on Cosmic is:
I know he can copy Activated powers that have cosmic in front of them like Mark Moonrider, but does he have a cosmic counter to remove to fulfill Scott Free's ability?

no, he has not...
he will not be able to use that effect because the lack of a cosmic counter

When Mimic copies the power from Mister Miracle, he grabs all the text starting with "Activate". He does not gain the cosmic keyword, and cannot gain a cosmic counter. That means he cannot meet the other part of the payment for Scott Free's power.

If he steals the power from Mark Moonrider, however, ("Cosmic: Activate -> Target player loses 5 endurance") he can use it. That's because Mark Moonrider's power is a normal activated power he has access to whenever he has his cosmic counter.

In short, Mimic and Rogue only grab the power portion of a cosmic ability... it does make them cosmic when they grab a cosmic character's power, and they cannot gain a cosmic counter by copying the power from a cosmic character.

Alright, thanks canamrock, all I needed was an explanation of why.

Even if they did grab the Cosmic keyword when they copied the activated powers. They didn't have Cosmic when they came into play anyway so they still would not have a cosmic counter.

They do NOT get the Cosmic keyword though.
