Protests have erupted around the country, demanding the release of Banner on the grounds of unlawful imprisonment, the word money keeps popping up, and two new agents with the CIA have shown up to put the base under scrutiny more intense then the record breaking summer sun outside. But who is Bruce Banner? As the pressure builds, we dive deeper into the psyche of the Hulk.
