The Stinger is a villain from The Mask: The Animated Series.

History[]

The Stinger was once a normal guy named Buzz Stingman who once worked as a scientist at a university, but was fired and kicked out of his lab after his experiments were deemed crazy and dangerous. After this incident, Buzz Stingman became a beekeeper who was determined to not only get his job back but also get revenge as well. Stingman then tried to create a special formula would make bees more controllable, which would also multiply their honey production, believing that this would be enough to get the university to rehire him. Unfortunately, Buzz Stingman’s first test of the bee controlling formula went awry when the bees went after him instead. This resulted in Buzz Stingman turned into a bee–human hybrid creature after being severely stung by the now genetically-altered bees. He had the ability to control the behaviour of bees to do his work and also developed a sudden craving for honey. He was able to hypnotize the entire city into building a giant beehive. He was eventually stopped by the Mask who removed his stinger and Buzz was returned to normal.

The Stinger returned in "Convention of Evil", and had returned to his humanoid Bee form. He is invited to a group therapy session held by psychiatrist Dr. Neuman along with other villains Pretorius, Lonnie the Shark and Pete, The Tempest, Gorgonzola and Bub. He hated being called "Bee Boy" and "Mr. Bee" by the others, especially by Tempest. Eventually all the villains were defeated by the Mask who had been disguised as Dr. Neuman all along, while the real Dr. Neuman had been held up in traffic jam on the way to the session. His defeat by the Mask was being caught in a giant Spider's Web.
