Alive (immortal) "I would rather [add] ... jermaDumpTruck butt-naked than jermaSus" ―Jerma[[src]]
JermaSus is a meme that originated from Jerma's streams. It is a morphed image of Evil Jerma, given a freakish grin, and is one of the few memes to eclipse Jerma's fandom and hit the mainstream. Since then he is often referred to and nicknamed as the "Sus Guy".

History
Origin
In November 2020, LavaMeteor created the image out of Evil Jerma by repeatedly applying FaceApp's big eyes and wide smile effects[1] and posted it on r/jerma985. Eventually, One Guy gave it the caption "When the impostor is sus! 😳" and made Jerma open it on stream (Bugsnax 11-14-2020), exposing it to his thousands of adoring fans. The caption is a reference to the hit multiplayer game Among Us, referring to a moment where the player who is the Imposter is acting suspicious. The meme's popularity began in November 2020 and peaked in March 2021.[2] At one point, the r/AmongUs subreddit got so overwhelmed by users spamming JermaSus that the mods banned the image and even shut down the subreddit for a while.
Jerma stated during the F.E.A.R. 2 stream that he had wished for Evil Jerma to be outstripped in popularity, stating that it was the one photo of his face that he hated more than any other. He then went onto remark how the Monkey's Paw must have curled, spawning the infinitely worse but also infinitely more popular image of JermaSus.
The meme has mutated well beyond the popularity of Jerma's circle of influence, being used as an ironic shitpost to mock Among Us, with the exaggerated, disturbing smile representing the Among Us fandom's perceived obsession with the game and the ridiculous emotional effect it has on them.

Jermania 2021
jermaSus took part in Jermania 2021. He entered the Main Rumble as contestant #19 under his nickname the "Sus Guy". He didn't do very much, eliminating not a single person but got later eliminated by Torgo - out of all people. With this he gave Torgo his only elimination in the whole event. I'd call that performance pretty sus...

Trivia
KFC acknowledging the Jermamites
In January 2021, the official Spanish twitter for KFC posted their own JermaSus meme with Jerma poorly edited to look like Colonel Sanders. The tweet was temporarily taken down after its publication, possibly because it was awful to look at. By the time of writing it is accessible again here.
Although it wasn't visible during the event, the tattoo on Majima's back during Jermania 2020 was actually edited to make the hannya face look like JermaSus.
Sus Flush from The Flush Family (from The Sims 3 Mod Hell Stream) is based on Jerma Sus and modelled to look like it, but both are two different characters as Jerma made explicitly clear during Jermania 2021.[3]
