Superhero book

[drikkity]

, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to tell me the name of a series that I am trying to remember.
Details I remember about it are:
The main character is a superhero who is a male but can change shape and turns female to protect his identity when doing super things.
His powers come mainly from an experiment that gave him the ability to change his power level in ways such as more speed but less strength, more strength but less durability, and so on.
At first he doesn't want to be a hero but is convinced in the first book.
In one of the books he starts a school for super powered children on an old villian? base that's technically not part of any nation. It gets attacked and some of the students are kidnapped.
He has a relationship with one of his superhero teammates both as his normal self and his female alterego. (Same sperson and she does know about him being both)
His neice attends the school

I had read that story, it was on a webring, i started from the part / book where they got the job training new heros because they used to be in a team that died & the reason they can change gender is because of that event that killed them, they mergedor somethingand got all the powers? they were...are still a speedster originally, so thats why they were hired to teach new heros at what turned out to be a super villains base.
i actually went out to try and find it again, found the very book you linked but the first book is so different...and bad, that i thought that i got it wrong.
Now im going to try power through!
