Billie\u2019s been told she\u2019ll be accepted if she can convince Sam to be a spokes-hero, but he\u2019s not totally convinced. When he learns of Eaglestar\u2019s paramilitary past, that their head of security is General Maverick, aka Red Hulk, he\u2019s still not convinced.  But after Captain America stops an attack on the location he and Billie are visiting, the organization\u2019s dark underbelly is exposed, and he\u2019s definitely not signing up as a spokesperson!
