In real life, Gregor Mendel was a “German-speaking Silesian scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science of genetics.” You know, the guy who studied pea plant fertilization generation upon generation and discovered inheritance patterns of certain parental traits in the offspring. Perhaps in the show, Greg (aka “The Outsider”) could be a mad-scientist of sorts who wants to affirm the existence of the supernatural. Thoughts?

We’ve been discussing Greg Mendell’s name in the Ethan Embry thread for a couple of days now.

Too early to call it. I think we need more clues. He could be a professor of science linking him to Professor Marvel of the Wizard of Oz and Frank Baum’s (the author) father made a living out of the oil field in Pennsylvania. The first plate of his license plate 2KFL could mean took flight as in air balloon.
He could also be a Jekyll/Hyde. We are talking about genetics. 2KFL is a mathematical equation and in the first edition of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde there were 138 pages.

The fact that he’s named after a scientist, that he lied, and based on some other things in the forum TheGoldenKey pointed out, I’m on team Wizard.
Professor Marvel lies to Dorothy when she first runs away from home (I’m going off the movie, not the book. I actually haven’t read the book…) but he does it to get her to change her mind about leaving Auntie Em. He’s very perceptive that way. Maybe he recognized that Emma would have to take some sort of action if she knew what he saw and therefore lied, saving his own skin."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"@TheGoldenKey wrote:

Several people have mentioned 2KFL being an equation but I still don’t understand. What equation is it supposed to be a part of? I don’t recognize it. And I’m eager to know!

Gypsy actual dug that up but what I can tell you is that KFL means Kips (kilopounds) per Lineal Foot thus 2kfl. Best I can do as math/science was never my forte 🙂

OK, thanks. I can’t imagine how that unit might be significant but it’s always fun to engage in wild speculation. Another off-the wall idea that occurred to me was that “2KFL” could stand for “2000 Florida” – a reference to the 2000 U.S. presidential election. But I think we can safely dismiss that possibility since the character’s name turned out to be Greg and not Chad! 😀
Seriously, I’m beginning to doubt the license plate may hold any significance, except to emphasise that he is from out of state. But picking a name as famous as Greg(or) Mendel can’t be a coincidence. I suspect he’s going to wind up getting involved in Dr. Whale’s story somehow.

I could be significant because KFL is used for math and science thus further referencing the scientist Gregor Mendel. Personally, I’m not leaning towards that theory but I haven’t ruled it out either.

Some things to keep in mind, I swore I read somewhere when asked about the ‘Outsider’ the writers only mentioned he is not a Fairytale land character. In the last episode, notice how Henry kept going on and on about Frankenstein not being in the book and the possibilities? I notice the writers tend to use Henry as their next foreshadowing. So my theory, this all ties in with the Stranger and his ties to whatever. So if he his from Oz that would be awesome. He has to have some time to science in some way with such a name as Greg Mendell
Found this theory in the fanforum.com ouat spoilers:
Greg’s full name evokes Gregor Mendel, the geneticist best known to 9th graders everywhere as “that monk with the peas.” That is a hint of his supposedly real identity — the author of Henry’s book, the founder of the entire Fairytale land, the creator of every character, the digger of Storybrooke’s gene pool! His masterpiece brought him to this little town! I can’t wait to see his face at the moment when he glanced at the book.
