For Light, I went with 179 as he probably wasn't one of the literal smartest people in the world but was brilliant enough to be one of the smartest men in Japan. The odds of a 179 IQ is 1 in 14.4 million which is roughly one-tenth the population of Japan in 2006 (and 2022).

To aid the ineffective Japanese Task Force set up to combat the mysterious terrorist, Kira -- aka, Light -- the FBI and CIA combine forces to create a Special Provision for Kira unit, under Near's watchful eye. Anthony is Near's Number Two. While he's not the most cunning member of the elite group -- or in Death Note as a whole -- being Near's most...
The handsome Stephen is one of the SPK's star members. His strong looks are matched by a strong brain and unwavering loyalty to his unit, even with his fellow teammates dropping like flies. Stephen is the SPK's master rogue, able to sneak into anywhere and forge things to a highly convincing degree. The best demonstration of these skills is when he...
Another SPK member, Halle's past as a Secret Service agent stands her in excellent stead as a bodyguard. This means her mental aptitude extends her mind, as she's able to both think and act extremely quickly. Despite working for Near, she's also an excellent double-agent.

Namikawa is a member of the villainous Yotsuba Group, Death Note's own eight horsemen of the apocalypse, if you will. These business tycoons seek to use the Death Note for industrial sabotage of the murderous kind, and Namikawa is the most intelligent of the bunch. A Harvard graduate and professional Shogi player (Japanese chess), Namikawa once pro...
A criminal prosecutor, Mikami becomes judge, jury, and executioner when given the opportunity to become the Hand of Kira by his idol, Light. Using a different Death Note to Light's, Mikami draws attention away from the real Kira when Near starts to circle Light. Even before he becomes supernaturally-enhanced by Shinigami Eyes, Mikami could be marke...
Watari and Roger are the Alfreds to L's Batman -- and all the rest of Wammy's House's homegrown detectives: Mello, Near, Matt and Beyond Birthday. The British gentlemen use their wealth to provide a home for talented, homeless children and, like Alfred, his skills extend past mere buttling. While assisting L, Watari is the teen sleuth's most truste...
For Mello, being the second-smartest kid at Wammy's House (after L's demise) was an unforgivable snub. Because of his immaturity, the orphan failed to recognize that he was still one of the smartest youths in the world and refused to join forces with Near.

Whether or not L is smarter than Light, or vice versa, will be an ongoing debateforever. The pair are deliberately set-up by the creators as the Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty of the first half of the story, therefore making them practically equally-matched was essential for dramatic tension. It doesn't take him long to associate Light with Kira, for...
Gifted with the means to kill anyone he wants by writing their name in a book belonging to a Shinigami, Light becomes the world's most dangerous teenager. Not just because of this incredible power, but because he's able to use it without getting caught for so long. After dispatching L, Light thinks of himself as even more godlike than before. Howev...
While all of them have their suspicions, Near is the only one of Death Note's trio of young detectives able to provide indisputable evidence of Light's guilt. Near's genius is often obscured by his love of toys and angelic features; after all, he is a child. However, what seems like playful fun belies a constantly-ticking mind. Near's focus is actu...
Since I roughly know my IQ from my school's test, my method is really just comparing their intelligence to mine and going from there. For example, I can say right away that L, Light, and Near are more intelligent than me-however, it gets very tricky with characters such as Mello, Watari, and Mikami.

- Light Yagami. Light Yagami was just a high school student, but after laying his hands on the Death Note, he started developing a god complex.
