*** Although most Trek fans tend to forget the pilot episode where Q has a very clear reason for doing what he does: to "prosecute and judge" humanity as a directive from the Q Continuum. We are reminded of this in the series final episode too when Picard finds himself back in the same court room he encountered Q in the first time:
--> Picard: "Is humanity on trial again?"
--> Q: "No. The trial never ended. We never reached a verdict. But now we have: You're guilty. Guilty of being inferior."
**** And by the end of that episode Q subverts everything again by also acting secretly as Picard's defense against the judgement of the Q Continuum and had been doing so since roughly halfway through the series after Picard and crew saved his life while he was briefly depowered. This of course didn't stop Q from [[TricksterMentor screwing with Picard and crew in relatively minor ways as secret tests of character]] at the same time.

During his introduction, he was noted to have crushed an armada of 50 ships in the Grand Line for an unknown reason, letting only the flagship escape due to a sudden storm. He shows up outside of the Grand Line to sink the flagship (going considerably out of his way to do so), and when asked why he fought the armada in the first place, Mihawk claims he was bored and needed to kill time.

All that being said, the line dividing ForTheEvulz and ForTheLulz is often a blurry one. Because people who do things primarily for their own amusement never seem to mind being dicks, they are difficult to distinguish from people who are dicks solely because they enjoy being dicks. As a result, some overlap may occur.
