RWBY Superhero Universe (RSU)

The RSU is a series of stories about the RWBY characters you're already familiar with, with the twist of an alternate, shared universe where Semblances and Auras are like the superpowers of comics, our Huntresses and Huntsmen are superheroes (costumed or not!), and supervillains and monsters lurk at every corner. Inspired by the fantastic work of Marvel Studios, each story in the RSU is designed to be enjoyed both as a standalone and as a part of a larger narrative. The choice is up to you - take a peek at your favorite characters' lives; or just dive right in and get lost (in a good way!) in the puzzle of how everything fits together.
