It has been confirmed that Barry will be getting a pretty impressive new power for the second season, but no hard details have been confirmed. The only tease that Grant Gustin has given away came at San Diego Comic-Con, when he said that it involves "lightning." 

What exactly could that mean? Is Barry getting struck by lightning, causing him to develop this new power? If so, what will it be? It could be that it gives him extra speed, or the power to use electricity/lightning bolts, which would be rather awesome to see. 

It could be a reference to the blue lightning that has been shown to depict the Speed Force, the energy that speedsters can tap into and has been used by Barry for time-travelling, and indicate that Force is going to be playing a much bigger role this time around, with Barry able to have a far better control of it.
