I feel like that could be done in a game mod.  I mean not by me, but someone actually capable of modding games.  There are a few games I could think of where you could add in alien invaders and it would turn into that kind of game.

Actually Galactic Civilizations 2 had a megaevent in one of the expansions that would cause the dread lords to invade mid-game.  Goes away from the premise a bit because everyone in GC2 is an alien, but still.  Similar.

Warlock 1 has the armageddon mode, which is somewhat similar. You get invaded by some very strong aliens right in the early game, who then proceed to destroy everything, land included.

I kinda want to see Infinite Crisis, but set in the Marvel universe rather than DC Comics.
Not a huge fan of either of those, but if I really had to choose, I'd go with Iron Man and Doctor Doom rather than Batman and Joker.

Frankly I like DC comics rather then Marvel universe,I haven't seen the comic books but I find batman and such is better then super heros,Batman is someone who has suffered great tragedy and trained himself to his very peak and puts away crooks and mutants,while Superman and his lot are a bunch of idiots who just rush in to save the day because they have supah powars and are aliens! yeah...I prefer believable.

I'd like a game that for ONCE is a RPG is 1st/3rd person is NOT a fantasy game (so that means it has to be sci-fi/western/medival/so on) AND is 12-13 rated.

...Superman and Batman are both DC characters. What the hell are you talking about?

ah sorry,it's just my only real experience with Batman is the arkham series,so I assumed DC comics did semi-believable stuff while Marvel just did corny super hero's.

As I said I never read either comics.

If you want people punching mutants, Marvel is definitely the way to go :/  They've got the X-Men, after all...

If they have non-human genetics, they technically aren't.

By that logic, intelligent aliens wouldn't be people either. Not a good road to go down.

But they aren't people either o_O

Human supremacy. For the EMPRAH!

Something along the lines of X-Com, in that it's squad-based and you go from mission to mission while also dealing with a more strategic layer in-between, but combating supernatural creatures and monsters rather than aliens. So you've got your vampires, your werewolves, mummies, etc. You could play the commander of a secret modern para-military organisation, or it could be set in medieval times.

I love the idea of struggling to balance the load-out of my troops for all the threats I might encounter, e.g., 'Crap, I've just rounded a corner and come face to face with a werewolf, but this trooper's cut off from the one with all the silver bullets. And if I use my last incendiary grenade now I'll be screwed if something summons a bunch of zombies'. And dealing with the various thematic abilities the creatures would have.

The only thing is it'd have to be done relatively seriously. There are more than enough cartoon-horror games where the monsters fall over each other and look less terrifying than what you'd find on an average episode of Scooby Doo. So no Hot Topic vampires, no werewolves who turn into puppies when they die, and definitely no puns.

How would you deal with infected soldiers?

[Sirus]

Nothing wrong with including cliche monsters, if only so players can have some idea how to deal with them. Just gotta include some more obscure/less-used things like the aforementioned mummy's curse.

[Mech#4]

Research mechanics would be a good way of clueing the player in on how to deal with certain types. First mission against them is "Oh man, what do I do?", after capture/dissection research it's "I hope this tactic works."
