That surprises you, doesn't it? Probably because the Supergirl you know isn't that powerful! But I'm not who you think I am-- I'm from the 20th Century! And *ouch!* while I'm not invulnerable here, I'm just as strong... And I can still do this! Now, do you really want to force me to lay these hands on you?

Synopsis for Supergirl: "Victory Is Only 5,000 Centuries Away!"

The Supergirl of the future hypnotizes the Silvers into forgetting her counterpart's double identity. The Supergirl of 1981 freezes the molten lava into solid rock with her super-breath. Both heroines manage to defeat their exchanged foes, though Supergirl's powers are diminished by the orange sun of the future and the future Supergirl's powers are increased almost beyond control by the yellow sun of 1981. After both Supergirls find a way to imprison Toxus and Tal Belok, the future Supergirl erases the memory of the future and of her from the 1981 Supergirl's mind. Then they return to their respective eras, and the case is done.
