e is energy, m is mass, c is speed of light; so inherent energy is proportional to the mass and the square of the speed of light.
This theory formed the basis of the nuclear bomb, in which a large percentage of the inherent energy would released all at once.

Albert Einstein.
No. E = mc2 is not the same as E = (mc)2 which is what the question suggests. Also, if you know E, why do you need to square anything to "get" E?
He did not use any databases to come up with E=mc^2.
It defined a direct correlation between matter and energy.
* E = total energy, * m = mass, * c = the speed of light in a vacuum
