Rebuttal
NOTE: I am going to rebutt this, because I am pretty sure I can, but if Phaed or Jewhob say I can't rebutt since Ahura's not here, then I will take it down.

Hydro-Man Vs Wither
Neither character would know anything about the other, and neither would have any information on Ego. That said, it's down to character vs character. They would get to the planet, and would begin looking for one another. Wither's powers could potentially do damage to Ego, but fortunately he wears full body clothing save for his head, so he won't hurt it. Hydroman needs a source of water. I don't know if Ego has water or not, but I'd assume he does, however, Hydroman needs to find it, and Ego's a big planet, and Hydroman doesn't have a map.
He doesn't really need the water as much as people might think. If he overuses his powers, then he might need water, but he has shown the ability todrawn nearby water towards him, so he doesn't really need to find it even, he can just draw it towards himself. He has even drawn the water out of people before, so he could concieveably do this to Wither making him actually "wither" away (the irony is delicious).
[/quote]Wither's touch destroys organic things, and he is reluctant to use it, however, he isn't against it. He's used it before, and liked it, but he's afraid to kill people. Put him in a dangerous situation though, and he will use it. Wither only has two chances. He can learn easily from Hydroman's name that he's water, and if he justifies touching him, feeling that since he's a water character his touch won't kill him, then he can win it. Basically,
Hydroman is still organic when he isn't in water form, so Wither's touch would work. Wither wouldn't just go out of his way to touch Hydroman, but put him in a horrible situation where he's about to die or go down, and he'll reach out and touch somebody. If he can surprise Hydroman and touch him while in half water form, Hydroman's organic form will deteriate into water and Wither will win. Hydroman's no genious, so it shouldn't be hard to get to that point. And if Hydroman can't find a watersource, then all the better for Wither.[/quote]
Actually he isn't. Here is a quote from Marvel Directory:
even in its solid state when it appears to be made of flesh, tissue, and bone; the Hydro-Man's body is no longer truly organic
This shows that Wither pretty much can't harm Hydro-man at all, even if he could get close to him.
That being said, Hydro-man loves to use long range water attacks that would not only seriously hurt Wither, but also shred his clothes, exposing more of him to Ego.
Wither can also win by mistake. If Hydroman engages him and Wither ends up accidently touching Ego, the planet will go mad and attack them both. Hydroman is water so Ego could just suck him up, absorbing him, while Wither deteriates Ego's every assault, making Wither last longer and win.
Ego is an incredibly smart planet though that is quite used to having things live on it. If Ego was hurt by Wither, Ego would only attack Wither, not both of them. This is especially true once Ego sees his antibodies being destroyed by Wither, in which case Ego will then just use his vast psionic attack on him effectively knocking him out or even killing him.
Winner- Hydro-man
