@f1rstb0rn_auth0r I say do the 90s xmen first build up your character and the story builds to the 97 and the 97should be your prequel of the continuation of the 90s xmen. In my opinion. But how ever you go can't wait to read it.
On my Tumblr, I published a short Creepypasta tale featuring a couple of my OCs. It's called "The Undead Bride" if anyone's interested (didn't publish it on the official Creepypasta site because I'm underage and @MadamaeApplewood will kick my ass if I lie about my age on there)
