Yes, this would be great in some cases. That fits with many genres of storytelling, especially pulp action and superhero. Two Challenges: Master Villain (5 points) and Run Away Car (1 point). Captain Super Guy plays his Super-Strength card on the run away car challenge and the Master Villain Challenge. Stopping the car, Captain Super Guy lifts it and hurls it at Master Villain, who now has 4 points remaining.
I like this idea.

You could use a Wild Strength Card for the Item, especially if that item offers positive outcomes to a challenge. As an example, He-Man's sword is a magical item, plus, you can pretty much guarantee he'll use that sword in nearly every scene. That's obviously one of He-Man's Strengths.
On the downside of that, I would hate to use my first stack of Strength Cards on the sword.

By definition, an asset is a useful and desirable thing or quality. It's my opinion that Asset cards should be a positive addition to the character. Assets should be played as +1 bonuses toward a Strong Outcome.
On the flip side of that, I feel the Narrator should be able to add Setback Cards on a Challenge, essentially adding an extra Challenge Point during play based on Narrative.

@Dave Yes, this. I'm not much for hit point systems but I do like when players use injuries as narrative elements. There should be a way to give cards that imply Setbacks, Consequences, and Injuries. And, I would like these cards to have some mechanical effect on play. Perhaps the narrator can choose the effect based on the card.
Maybe a Setback card limits the number of Strength cards a player might have access to for X number of rounds. A Consequence card might effect the outcome of a Subplot card or something. Injury cards act as an additional Weakness card. Personally, I think Asset cards, when played alongside Strength cards should add toward a Strong Outcome on a challenge. Maybe Injury Cards would work in the same fashion with Weakness Cards.
Or, you know, something like that.

Basically, there needs to be a new option for Narrators. Continue Scene functions for setting up additional challenges but it would nice to have an 'NPC Talk' option. The Narrator clicks that link and a secondary menu opens allowing the Narrator to Choose an NPC, Create an NPC, or Edit an NPC. Once that's done a dialogue box opens. This text, when completed, essentially continues the scene but, additionally, it adds the NPC card to the header.
Just an idea.
Play multiple instances of the Asset, if it's an option. Or, in your Scene narrative make it clear that an certain Asset is meant for a specific Character. Make the mechanics of the system work for you. Narrative and Cards work in tandem.
