Back in the 1980s, Superman did this in one comic story - a villain had placed six kidnap victims into lead-lined boxes (with life support) scattered throughout the city, reasoning that Superman's X-ray vision could not see into lead boxes.
So Superman scanned the city for lead boxes - which are obvious to his vision, since it's the only thing he can't see - to find those large enough to contain human beings, then flew to each and ripped it open, thus finding and rescuing the hostages...

The fool... You'd need at least three times as many that are empty to use as decoys... or just have one of them be a bomb with a little kryptonite dust or shrapnel mixed in.
Must... not... villain... laugh...

No no… you just need ONE lead box. Inside is a huge chunk of kryptonite, on a chain. Once Superman opens the box, chastise him accordingly and place the chain around his neck, then throw him into an indoor pool to drown. Word of advice though; do not leave a female henchperson behind, unattended, who showed obvious attraction to the Man of Steel and who happens to have close family living in a state being targeted by your doomsday device.
