This poster requires a bit of explanation. 

If you read the first Fantastic Four comic, they didn’t operate in New York,but instead launched their first rocket flight from “Central City.” Though they later moved to NYC and the Baxter Building, their rocket took off from California. 

Now, there is no “real” Central City - an ultra-rare example of Marvel having DC-style fake towns. However, if you look at a map of California, the place that is in the dead center of the state is Stockton. So, spurred on by an FF-loving comic geek, the Stockton chamber of commerce petitioned Marvel to make them the Birthplace of the Fantastic Four. And in later comics, Central City was explicitly identified as Stockton, California.
