Without a doubt it is L. Even Near stated that he and Mello could not compare to L's Genius. But combine Near and Mello they're on L's level.
The real names of L, Mello, and Near are as follows:L --> L LawlietMello --> Mihael KeehlNear --> Nate River
L. R. De Mello has written: 'Foreign direct investment in developing countries and growth: a selective survey'
he is the successor of L. Technically Near and Mello both represents too sides of L, but mello was being a stubborn kid and didn't want to co-op with near but from time to time in the story mello gave him some useful info as a debt.
Mello is one of the 2 succesors of L. He always comes second to N. Or maybe it was the other way round... :D?
Mello comes into Death Note in Chapter 60, in Volume 7, after L's death. He and Near are the two possible successors to L, but Mello refuses to work with Near and decides to go after Kira on his own, kidnapping Sayu, Light's younger sister.
Miheal Keehl (mee - high - L ) (kale)
Near is in the spin off movie L: Change the WorLd, which takes place 23 days before L dies. There is no Mello or Matt in the live action movies.
it should be the 1st or 2nd episode after l died witch was episode 25 i think
yes, both near and mello were in death note 3: L change the world. at the end L gives the boy the name near, he be comes L's heir because he is a math genius, and mello in the move is a school girl named Maki(although they dont ever anounce her as mello in the movie, you can tell because she wants to kill for revenge, and has a bobbed hair cut)
no, near and mello have been competing to become l´s succesor.
