The sixth Robot Master from MM9. Only two to go...

According to interviews, Hornet Man was originally supposed to be Honey Woman, but the development team eventually settled for Splash Woman as the sole female boss in the game.

In my opinion, Honey Woman would probably have turned out better than this. Not only does Hornet Man look silly with those honeycombs, but they don't seem to allow much mobility on his upper body, especially his arms. In fact, Hornet Man looks very stiff in the game itself. I attempted to explore angling in this action pose to give the illusion that he is more dynamic than he really is.
