Here’s a good look at the original collage variant.
The mistake was originally spotted by Twitter user KaleeshArbiter, which features Earth 2’s Green Lantern Alan Scott kissing his partner Sam.

Here’s a look at Nicola Scott’s original page from Earth 2 #2.
The creator of the collage variant cover Mr. Garcin apologized for the mistake and noted he got the picture from the internet.
Hi Symbiobro! I usually use comics for my collages, but a few times (5%), I get pictures on the internet. Unfortunately, my mistake comes from here! (sorry, my English is bad)

He would also apologize to Nicola Scott in a similar statement.

Names from the past, from the present, and even the future! Every page is filled with all-new work from this cavalcade of comic book luminaries! There is a mystery that threads throughout the Marvel Universe – one that has its origins in MARVEL COMICS #1 and which unites a disparate array of heroes and villains throughout the decades!

There will be at least 13 different covers including Mr. Garcin’s collage variant. Variant covers will be done by Mike Allred, Mark Bagley, Mark Brooks, Alex Ross, Greg Hildebrandt, Ron Lim, Ed McGuinness, Greg Smallwood, Julian Totino Tedesco, and Skottie Young.
