Others have answered, but I haven't seen mention of one very handy
point. Pumpable cards stay pumped until the end of the *turn*. Since you
mentioned Tin Man (and he is one of my favorites) I'll illustrate with him.
Take him on a run, during the first challange pump him say 4 points to keep
him alive, he's now a 9/9 (w/ stamina no less), next Challenge add 3 more,
he's 12/12 and he gets to carry his 12 points of damage over to any
remaining Challenges as well as any Objective requirements. If you've got
DocWagon on him you can even salvage the pieces at the end of the turn!
Another nasty is to send Tin Man to the Z-zone to trash your
opponent's runners. Works even better if you've got a Tactics: Scatter in
hand :).
Have fun,
