Superman Family #215 is an issue of the series Superman Family (Volume 1) with a cover date of February, 1982.

Synopsis for Supergirl: "Crisis at the Crossroads in Time"

A battle between Supergirl and a group of villains blows up a building's loft and accidentally frees a strange green figure imprisoned within a cracked ceiling support. The man vanishes and is replaced by another figure, who transforms into a cloud and begins watching Supergirl.

The next day, Supergirl as Linda Danvers finds out her show "Secret Hearts" has been renewed, but the new head-writers Herb and Marilyn Silver want to turn her character "Margo Hatton" into a "hateful witch" type.

Shortly after Supergirl engages the man who was spying on her, a villain named Toxus who can use air pollution as a weapon, and who claims to have fought Supergirl and her cousin in the past. Toxus runs away but he's unable to steal what he was after of-- a new breed of roses. Since Toxus mentioned he had been freed by the last night's explosion, Supergirl decides to check the building.

Meanwhile, one of the thugs who laid a trap for Supergirl and Lena Thorul[1] is hired by The H.I.V.E. to attack Supergirl again.

Supergirl is poking around the building where Toxus came from when she bumps into a woman wearing a similar costume to hers. She's the Supergirl of 500,000 years in the future. The future Supergirl shows her 20th counterpart a time warp inside a cracked wall, and explains a 500,000 A.D. outlaw called Tal Belok created said time-warp and transported several devices to the 20th Century, which were found by Toxus. She travelled to the past, tackled Toxus with help of Superman, and erased the memory of the battle from Superman's mind (at his request). She imprisoned Tal Belok in the 20th century because his power to manipulate molten rock was harmless in the 20th century, and Toxus in the future because his power to manipulate pollution is useless in a cleaner atmosphere. Each villain was locked inside a force-field on opposite sides of the time warp, but the warp was disturbed by an explosion, and both villains switched places in time.

After the future Supergirl has explained everything, both women make a deal: Supergirl will tackle Tal Belok in the future while the future Supergirl deals with Toxus in the present (provided that she keeps Kara's secret identity).

Kara travels to the far future and discovers the gravity is lighter and the sun is now orange, which weakens her powers. New York City is no longer, and she finds herself hovering hovering over a volcanic landscape near from two floating cities. Suddenly she's attacked by Tal Belok, who sends a geyser of magma towards her.

Back in 1981, the future Supergirl disguises herself as Linda Danvers to welcome Herb and Marilyn into Linda's home. Unfortunately she miscalculates her strength and rips the door off its hinges, jeopardizing Linda's secret identity.
