Can you Cosmic Zap a player who is not using his power, or a power that is only being referred to?

No. A Cosmic Zap can only hit a real use of the power at its start, before it takes effect. Referring to a power for another purpose, such as non-use text or playing a Super flare that needs it as a prerequisite, is not a use that can be zapped. The rulebook says powers that function without being used cannot be zapped.
