If we're talking pure IQ and logic, L might be superior.
But if we're talking manipulation and long-term strategy, Johann is far more dangerous.

Smart is tricky. L has databases and a small team throughout all of Death Note. Johan never had this, yet he still managed to elude persecution by his wits alone.

I think L may be smarter in the traditional sense, but Johan is just way more resourceful, manipulative, and cunning.

Easily L.
For L it was only a challenge because Light was a worthy rival.

L stands for loser so the answer is already in the question. And this is very much a nonsense comparison.

Except for having powers to detect nearby serial killers and take them under his control, and somehow make people kill each other or jump off from elevators, surviving two gunshots to the head and being the king of money laundering when he was still a teenager, etc.

Neither character is really realistic though Johan is a bit more convincing.

L is smarter in many fields, Johans a better manipulator and has seemingly better emotional intelligence like interpersonal and intrapersonal understanding. Thought L is also up there in that regard, L is also shown better deduction, logical thinking, abstract thinking, academic is iffy but im also willing to go with L but you can argue Johan as well.

L piloted a helicopter intuitively with no prior experience, which is level of intelligence so absurdly high that it's almost stupid.

However, Johan attended law school and maintained perfect grades, just to learn how to get the drop on Schuwald's private investigator. Not only is that more impressive to me, but it's also much more believable. My vote is Johan.

Idiots can manipulate as well,see Jagi from HnK with Shin,it's not a special trait,you just need to exploit people's interest and use it that's about it

I didn't watch HnK so I can't really say. Still I think you need some brain to exploit people. if characters look and act dumb doesn't mean they are dumb.

That may be true,but I'm callin him stupid cuz of his decisions and ego that led him to kickstart sth stupid,but alas every human is different from one another and can decide by his own will what decisions or how to be influenced heck I'd say there's many variations to how a person work but as long as you achieve your goal it shouldn't matter for yhese types

oh agreed just meant l is from supernatural anime and classroom of the elite and monster are based more in the real world. all detective shows are too over the top for me I like them but they go to far with smartness
