* ''Anime/DeathNote'': Light Yagami, who's so genius that he balances killing criminals in scores, and achieving good grades (He was the first in rank in the national university), that he was able to throw off suspicion for a bit, and play 2 {{Batman Gambit}}s.[[spoiler:He even continued this track when he became the [[MoleInCharge second L]].
