Element Lad reads:

Reservist

Remove a cosmic counter from a character you control >>> Target attacker you control gets +2 ATK this attack while attacking a character with greater cost. Use this power only once per attack.

Cosmic

Can I remove a cosmic counter from Element Lad or does it have to be from another character? Also, can I target Element Lad with his own effect?

Since the power's text doesn't place any restrictions---like "from another character you control"---there aren't any restrctions.

yes. this is the basic mechanic of LoS. they eat cosmic, they eat each others cosmic. Its like a cosmic orgy. of teenagers. .... um, yeah. :noid:

That's what I thought, glad to clear that up, thanks!
