If I had 3 of these beastly badasses in play, could I trigger the response on all 3 of them by discarding 1 card? Or is it discard 1 card per response? Im thinking the latter, but if not, looks like Im making a bara build.
You would have to discard a card each time. Although even with that... (if some how you got all three out at once - or even 2) that is a pretty large power swing!

Does The Laughing Storm make this effect basically free or useless?
Useless. If TLS said something like "...cannot be discarded from your hand *by a card EFFECT*" then it would work, but as worded it is a blanket that includes costs, passives, etc...

Sidenote, this guy is money in a recursion deck if you get Lucky Bones on him.
These guys + Brightwater Keep (TBG) is an awesome thing.

is there a difference between a character agenda and a regular agenda?

Yes -  character agendas are a cycle of characters who become agendas once they are killed : e.g http://www.cardgamed...an-lannister-vm

Wouldnt discard another card from my hand counts as as another trigger ? Allowing me to use this response multiple times in the same won challenge?

To expand your logic, a player using Siege of Winterfell would be able to trigger their agenda 8 times after winning a MIL challenge, since the condition has been met.

 

However, that is NOT the case.  The condition that lets you trigger the response (with regards to these Knights) is "win a POW challenge", which only happened once.  There is a general rule in this game where you can only trigger a particular response once per condition that enables it.  So in your example, you have only won 1 power challenge, therefore you can only trigger the response one time.  The discarding a card from your hand is a cost to triggering it, so if you have no cards you are unable to trigger it.   In my example with Siege, they can only trigger the agenda once per MIL challenge that they win.

 

But, if you had 2 or 3 of these knights in a single challenge, you could trigger each of their responses (one at a time, each costing you another card) in response to winning the challenge. 

Oic, Tyvm Sloth

Discarding the card is the cost of this effect, not the trigger for the Response. The trigger is what has to happen "after" which you use the Response. In this case, that is winning a POW challenge. So since you only win 1 POW challenge, you can only trigger the Response 1 time -- no matter how many cards you could discard. 

 

Generally speaking, costs are not variable. When you trigger an effect, you pay the stated cost to get the stated effect. You cannot pay the cost X times to get the effect X times on a single use of the effect.
