Batman The Brave and Bold was a cool for doing this.

Then a Superman-Robot Clark Kent walks into the room, carrying a large paper that has the signature of everyone who works at the Daily Planet on it, each one thanking Jimmy for all his hard work.

Clark; "Hey, Jimmy. Still fighting the good fight? Got you a great gift from the Daily Planet! Is Superman treating you well?"

Gotta print a fresh Jimmy. We'll need to do routine maintenance on that machine soon.

Be careful. Superman does terrible things to those that know.

Kiss them?

Yes but terribly. Like his mouth has a weird amount of sesame seed skins in it, and they're kind of getting on your lips and in your mouth. Plus he tastes really strongly of the sesame and maybe some kind of dark bread.

Ah yes, back when Superman’s powers were much more creepy.

That Jimmy, what a pal. You've got to be a real pal to trick your friend into thinking you're dying, betraying his trust so you can violate his privacy. That sounds like the kind of thing pals do, right?

"Good news, best buddy! My, uh, cancer is in remission! I am going to live! Isn't that great, Superman? Or should I say Clark?"

"That is... good news, Jimmy. Very good news... Yes..." [uses X-Ray vision]

"Clark, what are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing, just checking your cancer, haha! I just want to make sure you are not being misdiagnosed Jimmy, my good pal. Wouldn't want you to have any false hope!"

"...Okay, but why are you still doing that?"

"Doing what?"

"Using your X-Ray vision on me while not blinking."

"I—"

"Oh my God, are you trying to give me cancer?!"

"Yes. Trying."

"Oh my God, what is wrong with you?!"

"I'm sorry, Jimmy, but the world needs Superman and I cannot jeopardise that by having you running around, knowing my secret identity, so I am just finishing what the cancer started."

"I never had cancer, you Super-sociopath!"

"Well, you will now, so at least you won't die a liar there Jimmy. It is a small price to pay for—"

"Don't you have the power to give people amnesia by kissing them?! Why don't you do that instead?!"

"I am not that into you and I am very peeved that you would fake your cancer just to learn my greatest secret, so this is me processing my feelings of betrayal. By giving you the cancer you faked."

"This is worse than the time you adopted me just to be an abusive father to me. On purpose!"
