Martian

A Martian is an inhabitant of the planet Mars. The term "Martian" was often used jokingly by Humans for aliens, much like "flying saucer" for a generic way to describe alien spacecraft.

Native Martians
Several native Martian creatures such as the Ice Warriors evolved on Mars (DW: The Ice Warriors), as did many other Martian lifeforms such as Martian fungi. (DW: The Seeds of Death).

Humans as Martians
By the 22nd century, Mars had been colonised by Humans, who pushed the native Ice Warriors into poverty (PDA: Fear Itself). Once Humanity had made Earth itself unlivable, the Usurians saw to it that the Humans could move to Mars. (DW: The Sun Makers)
