Timeless: Villains Variants cover of Guardians of the Galaxy (vol. 6) #1 (January 2020).
This cover is not from January 2020. Marvel lists Guardians of the Galaxy (2023) #1 as published on April 12, 2023, and Marvel announced the Alex Ross 'Timeless' villain variant program for 2023.
Full reasoning
The date in this caption is wrong.
Marvel’s official issue page for Guardians of the Galaxy (2023) #1 lists the comic as published April 12, 2023. Marvel also announced that Alex Ross’s "Timeless" villains variant-cover program would begin in March 2023, which matches this variant line and makes a January 2020 date impossible for this specific cover.
So the image caption should place this cover in 2023, not January 2020.

Marvel says readers should 'look for his “Timeless Variant Covers” in March 2023,' confirming the villains variant program was a 2023 release, not January 2020.
Doctor Doom was featured in his first solo series in 2019.
2019 was not Doctor Doom's first solo series. Marvel had already published the solo title Doom 2099 beginning in 1993.
Full reasoning
This statement is incorrect as written because Marvel had already given Doctor Doom a solo comic title long before 2019.
Marvel’s official series page for Doom 2099 (1993) shows that it was a standalone Doom-led series, and Marvel’s issue page for Doom 2099 #1 lists it as published in 1993. That means the 2019 Doctor Doom series was a later solo series, not his first one.
If the intended meaning was 'first solo series for the main Earth-616 Doctor Doom,' the article would need to say that explicitly. As written, it is factually wrong.
