Biography[]
- "Stan, I give you my word. Whatever you've heard about me, it's not true."
"Oh, I know it. I always knew it." - ―Bruce Banner and Stanley Lieber[src]
Stanley Lieber was a close friend of Bruce Banner. He also befriended Banner's girlfriend Betty Ross. In 2005, Lieber heard about a mysterious incident at Culver University and Banner's fugitive status but did not believe any explanations given by the military.
When Banner returned to Willowdale after five years, he visited Stanley at the end of the night, who was surprised by his presence and allowed him to enter his parlor even though he had just closed for the day. That night, they sat down for a catch-up, where Lieber detailed Ross' relationship with Leonard Samson, whom he considered a really nice guy. Lieber temporarily let Banner stay at his pizza parlor to hide from the military and disguise himself as a pizza delivery man to infiltrate Culver University and retrieve the data of the incident in the laboratory.
The next night, when Ross and Leonard Samson came into the restaurant at closing time, Lieber was convinced by them to stay open so they could eat dinner. Later, when Ross glimpsed Banner, she asked Lieber if that was truly him, where he tried to comfort her before explaining.[1]
