No it isn't.
"Thirteen said that there was (this word is past tense) supernatural epicenter in Metropolis - but I see now that he was wrong."
"Creating" is not a present tense word, it doesn't signify a time frame at all, it's just a different form of the word "create". If I were to say,"carver is so silly, he's spent a significant portion of his adult life creating terrible posts on KMC and getting clowned without showing any sign of stopping", while I am describing you as you are in the present, the actions you took that led to this interpretation of you were in the past despite the usage of "creating".
In this case, the line I quoted and the context of the scan make it clear that this isn't Superman making use of his magic powers to create a psychic buffer around himself to shatter Phantom Stranger or whatever the phuck Alberto claimed, it is a result of years of goodwill making people believe he's a cool guy.
If you need any more help comprehending basic English let me know carver. I'll hook you up.
