X looks like a young teen because of a growth hormone deficiency and the effects of too many blows to the head, a study says."This could explain his delayed natural growth, delayed onset of puberty and lack of libido," reads the study, published in the latest issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Associate Professor Claude Cyr, a paediatrician at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, wrote the study with help from two experts, his sons Antoine, aged five, and Louis-Olivier, aged seven."We hypothesise that X has growth hormone deficiency and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism from repeated trauma," the study reads.

The researchers identified 50 significant losses of consciousness.Of these, 43 incidents involved head trauma with loss of consciousness representing grade three concussions. And X had 26 concussions resulting from a blow with a blunt object.

X lost conciousness eight times after being hit with a club, four times after explosions, three times after being shot, three times after being poisoned with chloroform, three times after car accidents, twice by falling and once due to mild dehydration, according to the researchers.

X never shaves, never grows taller and does not "exhibit signs of pubertal development", according to the report.

"He has the physique of a child, but his conduct suggests that of an adult. Throughout his adventures, he has no girlfriend or marriage plans to curtail his activities."
