Fizz vs Ryze: E in, WQ, run out as fast as you can. Or max E first and Q out through a minion.

Morde vs Cassio: Morde burst is instakill Cassio, I'd say. She's really squishy, and Morde has a huge burst. Otherwise, he should just dodge that Q and 90% of his problems are over.

Kassa vs Morde: How about Kassa just harrasing with Q? No retaliation, no gap closers from Morde, free harras (if you get through the shield) until RQE is an instakill.

Anivia vs Kassa: Hard one. But I like that. Chalice of Harmony + Abyssal Scepter should solve most of the problems for her. For the rest, just max that E and use ER whenever you can. Play careful, maybe use your wall to keep Kassa in your ult, try to hit your Q. I don't believe she'll always lose that.

Amumu vs Mundo/Shyvana: Ward the river at all places Mundo/Shyvana can counterjungle, call for help when they do. No jungler survives a 3v1. And gank often.

About that first option, I've never heard of hybrid carries (except Jax and maybe the new Eve) that don't fail. Though there are some that can be build either AP or AD. As a mid, I'd say that ~75 bonus mr would be enough to counter your lane. Just buy those Chalice and Abyssal Scepter I mentioned with Anivia vs Kassa. Bot lane shouldn't counter, but just farm, and junglers don't really counter either.

The second option: For almost every champion, there are items that give both damage and tankyness, or they just don't need more damage. Jax, for example, gains tankyness from damage, though his ult. Malphite doesn't need damage to do well. Mid laners have Chalice that makes them win their lane because of unlimited harras, and Abyssal Scepter for both damage and resistance. It even boosts their base numbers through the mr reduction. AD tops can also buy Wriggles to counter other AD tops, or Hexdrinker to counter AP tops. AP tops take Zhonya's Hourglass to counter AD tops, or Chalice/Abyssal Scepter to counter AP tops. The list of ways to counter with items is endless...
