* The 2023 Halloween update for ''VideoGame/PaxBritannica'', a GameMod for ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIronIV'', has Earth being invaded by Martians, warlike creatures from Mars who want to colonize Earth and make it the new Martian homeworld, after Mars has been left virtually uninhabitable by decades of war. Many of them want to [[KillAllHumans exterminate the humans entirely]], but some are willing to broker agreements with human leaders and enlist them as LesCollaborateurs; disagreements between the two factions can eventually boil over into a civil war. In addition, if things really go south for the Martians, humanity can beat back the invasion and turn the tables by invading Mars.
* ''VideoGame/PortalRunner'': In the last few stages of the game, the Martians usurp Bridgette as the villain and start attacking the other worlds.

* ''Literature/ThePerfectRun'': Late in the series, the heroes discover that this is what started the creation of superhumans, started the Genome Wars, and killed off a significant portion of the human race. [[spoiler:An alien ship landed in Antarctica, and a scientist took the technology to painfully uplift humanity to a level where they could fight back. Unfortunately, she refused to accept that this ship was the ''last'' of the alien empire, and therefore did far more damage to the human race than they ever could]].
