"Worm"
    https://parahumans.wordpress.com/

"An introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor 
goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated 
civilian life. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her 
mistaken for one, thrusting her into the midst of the local ‘cape’ 
scene’s politics, unwritten rules, and ambiguous morals. As she risks 
life and limb, Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things 
for the right reasons."

Recommended, very dark.

I like "Taylor Varga/Luna Varga" much better.  Highly recommended if you 
like snarky lizards.
